Can someone confirm that all the Husabergs from 2006 to 2009 use the same filter? Secondly, I believe that it is the same filter as the KTM 250SX. Is that true also? My buddies and I are going to order a large quantity, and I didn't want to get the wrong filter.
Oil filter interchangeability?

Sorry guys, this is a very interesting post as sometimes it's not so easy to get spare parts for Husa models..
does anybody know whay is the equivalent in KTM for HSB 600 98 ?
I'd really appreciate this info.

the 2006 to 2008 "old" motors all take the same KTM RFS long filter
the new 2009 models use a diffrent filter it is a different part number
DO NOT USE the old one in the 2009 model its not designed to deal with the different oil pressures.

If you are going to run a Scott's stainless mesh oil filter, it is the same filter from 1997 to 2009. http://www.scottsperformance.com/produc ... e=Husaberg
I can't figure out why anyone would want to run anything other than a Scott's oil filter. (Not one of the off brands, they are inferior)

If the above information is accurate about the '09 KTM 250SXF filter being the correct filter for '09 Husaberg FE450/570s, then the issue has to be restriction/flow rate through the filter material. Outward dimensions are the same between a HIFLOFILTRO HF155 (old RFS long) and HF655 (newest 250SX-F), however the filter material is definitely different, appearing denser on the HF655. Setting up a very informal flow test by filling the filters from the inside with engine oil, letting the paper soak, and then measuring flow through showed the HF155 (old) passing about 50% more oil. I'm not saying KTM is right to reject stainless filters, just that my results are consistent with their belief that a certain amount of restriction is desirable to prevent cavation at the oil pump. Smells a little like baloney to me, but I don't make the big bucks.

Have KTM openly rejected the stainless filters then? Just interested.
I thought the idea of a filter was to filter the oil, not slow down or speed up the rate of flow.
It makes sense that the HF655 would be denser/slightly more intensive filtering than the old RFS which had two filters and two screens.
Why play a guessing game, just buy the correct oil filter for the 09 husaberg in the first place.
Yes, most of the ktm stuff will be exactly the same, even though berg stuff has different part nos and comes bubble wrapped with husaberg stamped on it.
Thats so ktm can work out the sales figures for the berg range i guess.
What pi**es me off is , that any dealer worth his salt should be able to tell you instantly whether a part is the same as/or compatible in the range he sells.
Oh, nearly forgot what i came on for. Yes , thats correct about the filter being exactly the same as the newer twin cam models like 250sx-f for the 09 bergs.
So dont use the RFS ones even though they fit as they have different filtration material.

Well I got the PC Racing Filter sold to me by the Husaberg Dealer. They have been using them for several years. I am going to get a Scotts, put the Scotts in my FS650 and leave the PC filter in my FE and see what happens. Then I will be able to do a running comparison.
PC Filter has exactly the same specs as a Scotts but half the price. But if you average the cost over 20 oil changes thats only $3.5 per change for the Scotts and $1.5 per change for the PC Racing, both of which are way cheaper than a paper filter plus it's not polluting the landfills. When the Scotts gets here if it is obviously twice the quality of the PC Racing then I will order another and toss the cheaper filter. Like I said over a year changing your filter the difference in price is negligible.
I also like the idea of washing the stainless filters into a catch basin and having a peek at what is coming out of them.

surely the paper filters filter more fine particals out??? Why can't you was in kerosene the paper ones and re-use them at least a number of times?
