OK. This really happened! While tooling down the road with the wife I ran over something. Don't know what it was. It did, however, poke a hole in my oil filter. The red light came on, I pulled over and shut the motor down pronto. Needelss to say it was a few hours or more before I managed to find an oil filter (Fram 2016A)and motorcycle oil from Advanced Auto. Parts. Lucky I shut the motor down as quickly as I did. I replaced the filter and oil and off I went again though smelling like burnt oil all the way home. Got oil all over the bottom of the bike including the rear break... Messy. Anyway, if you don't already know it, the filter is very exposed to road hazzards. I thought of a partial fix and am still figuring out a better one. I took my old army plastic water bottle (way thicker than say a bicycle water bottle) cut it to fit over the oil filter and clamped it using a screw and thread circle clip. It clears the exaust header ok and does not melt... Complete insurance against this happening again? No. But, now I at least have some protection. Still trying to cook up a better solution. Any thoughts out there? UP
