Bike is starting to Irritate me re oil filter backing out
#11
You might not need 6 if so order one 3 pack. I have 2 bikes use the same filter and I ride a lot of miles so use a lot of filters.

Crush washer I get at Honda car dealership for about 1/4 the price

14 mm crush washer I think used on all Accords and Civics

Part number 94109- 14000 I believe.

The shop manual gives quite a lot of torque for the OEM oilfilter: 26 Nm.

The HIFLO HF204, which I have as a substitute here on my desk says: 8-12 Nm.

Hm.

I seem to recall 19 ft lbs as the torque spec in the manual? Popgun?

13 ft lbs, Ferret. According to your post in the Torque Settings thread I linked to above.

You got it Mr. Ferret. The manual lists it as 19 ft. Lbs or 26Nm or 2.7Kgf m. And apply oil to threads and o-ring.

How do you get your iPad to not capitalize after a period? Like when you type ft. Lbs

have you got an engibe vibration issue , such as loose engine bolts or loose exhaust header bolts. I had a vibration issue on my kawasaki and it turned out to be both . tightened everything up and the mild vibration went away

Update. It's not leaking because it backed out as I assumed, It's leaking because the oil filter FAILED.

The K&N, as already noted, has a (not 17mm(wrench too big) and not 16mm(wrench too small), dunno WTF it actually is, not SAE either) nut on the front that is press riveted onto a plate on the face of the oil filter, THAT is where it is leaking from.

I have the Yoshimura hand bent exhaust, and it is less then a quarter inch from the nut on the filter, I am now guessing that due to thermal transferrence, the riveted part seperates and Woila! Leak!

Now you know.

Last time, I replaced the filter with another K&N I already had rather then just re-tightening and hoping it would work.

So, lesson learned.

Bugger, now I need an oil filter 'now'..
