On oil filter change

[ME 109]

Confucius say, virtuous man who pokes balls with chop stick is most rikely still virgin rather than morally exerrent.

You ball sounds good to go ZM!

I used a wooden chop stick. Had the nice flat end. The ball is still n place with light spring resistance. I installed the filter with new white O ring, new shim, and new gaskets on the filter cover and sump plug. I am most virtuous.

Did you check the canister depth? Most important part of the whole exercise...

On a serious note, when I checked my most recent purchase, an '86 mono, I found the gap too big (according to Anton's advice) and ended up ditching the gasket and adding a shim. Mind you as the bike had already covered over 40,000 miles without incident there was every likelihood that there wasn't going to be a problem...
