ZX7R - Oil filter replacement

[kawascream]

My bike has been off the road for 2 years.

Never replaced the oil filter on it before, although it did have a service at a garage not long before i parceled it up (so to speak).

so tonight i was going to replace the oil filter, only to find there's only about 4mm clearance from the downpipes!!

The exhaust has a scorpion can, not sure if the whole system is aftermarket of not

Is the 4mm clearance normal?

Barry's reply at the end was enough for me to take it for a garage for them to do. I cant be doing with all that crud and gung on me hands you know

Maybe I should employ the search button a little more often

IIRC, last time i tried this, it wouldn't come off as the pipes were just too darn close and I really CBA to remove the exhaust - Think that must be why I would have took it to my mates garage last time

Hi

That is pretty limited. FZ750 was like that with the Micron exhaust. Pretty much had to take it off for oil changes.

Stock exhausts are not normally that bad.

All the best
