Yep, tighten by hand as described after lightly coating the rubber washer with clean oil. If you notice any weeping just give it a tweak.
The wrench is useful for getting the old filters off though |

Will do
Yes having a metal socket is great for getting it off, well worth the money. I tried doing the same on my XJR using a wrap around strap and it was rubbish - just ended up distorting the housing and made a right old mess! Much easier this way. |

The other problem with the ram a screwdriver though it is as several customers have found over the years is if you don't suck seed the bike is immobile !
Try everything else first unless you used the ram a screwdriver method before!! ____________________ Dave

Bikes with spin on oil filters vary enormously and the space around the filter will dictate how easy or difficult they are to access.Some will be easier to install than to uninstall,and vice-versa.I know of at least one bike with an after market exhaust fitted,where it is easier to remove it so as to gain access.
One tip I would advise on is to prime the new oil filter before installation.You will be surprised how much oil the filter will soak up.
Another tip is that after your initial ride out after the filter change is to check the tightness of the filter.It may well be that it could do with just a small amount of extra twist on it.I have seen the outcome of an oil filter coming undone and falling off and neither results are very pretty ____________________ Just talk bikes.What else is there?

There's no need to "prime" a new filter because it's totally full within about 0.5 seconds of touching the starter button... As anyone who has inadvertantly fitted a filter without first having removed the old o-ring from the gasket surface will be able to verify.
So no need to get oil all over the shop.
It will take a modern Japanese bike with a trochoidal oil pump less than 10 seconds at a fast idle to empty the whole sump onto the garage floor through a poorly sealed filter.
If you have an old or oddball bike with a piston pump then yes, priming the filter is a good idea. It takes my 350 bullet over 1m30s at idle minutes to get oil from the tank to the rockers ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |
