Hey Bart,
one morte tip from me: When you change the oil filter, be sure to put
it in the right way. The oil filter fits in two ways, but only one is correct.
One side of the filter has a hole to let the oil pass through, the other doesn't.
I can't exactly remember which side is the right one to face the engine side,
just be sure to look at the old one when you take it out.
I fitted mine in the wrong way when preparing the bike for the spring time a few
weeks ago. I don't know why, probably a lack of intelligence or hurry, hurry,
get ready fast. Anyway, this crap has cost about $40 bucks for a new cover, I
never would have thought what power the oil has when leaded the wrong way.
