ok, so no oil screens on the 500's?

[katch26]

nope just the one filter

[08Outlaw]

The oil screens are only on the KTM powered Outlaws. There are 2 (also 2 oil filters). One is located directly under the center of the engine- need to remove a hex nut through an access hole under the skid plate and the second is on the left side of the engine under a standard plug behind the shift lever and the brake cable assembly. Easier to get to if remove the shift lever. Should clean them each and every time you change the oil and filters.

With What should i clean these oil filters with? just bought a bike and want to know

You replace the oil filters with new ones. The screens you just clean with brake cleaner and compressed air. Be careful not to damage them of course.
