Now that's what I call good cutting and twisting.
But alas that kind of thing wouldn't work too well for me.
I have had my bike only a couple of years and its only got about 6000 miles on it.
But I have changed the oil at least four times and as soon as I can stop at the dealer to get another filter, I will be doing it again.
I doubt the dealer would change it before the "rated" 5000 mile intervals.

 

+1 for the foil funnel & punched hole in filter

 

I'll be trying this as well.

 

See pic...

 

Thanks for the pic, I had to take the voltage regulator and mounting plate loose to clean up the oil last time.

 

hey guys, as a side note: I got one of these form Autozone. Pretty cool lookin' for of course, ore money....

I just spray a bunch of brake cleaner on it and wipe it with a rag. Guess I'm not as **** as some. Once I change the tranny oil too I'm gonna give her a full bath...
