Prozak take your filter to the auto parts store and see if they can match a cup to it. This will make life easier.

As long as you don't have gorilla hands lol. I used a pair of channel locks to remove mine and like he said coat with a film of oil on the gasket and hand tighten.

yup, big channel locks, even then it's a pain getting them in the right position, but loosens it enough to finish by hand. just make sure to only tighten new one BY HAND ONLY as already mentioned.

no room for a cup, side of filter is too close to motor, can barely slip a band wrench in there, probably the best way if you can get a small enough band wrench, mine are too big so the channel locks do the trick.Prozak take your filter to the auto parts store and see if they can match a cup to it.

There is 2 kinds of filter sockets fit the filter for your bike. One is made of cast and one is plastic. The one that has the clearance along side the motor is the plastic one. I have one that I got fro my dealer and it looks like it's made from ABS material. If tyou don't have any luck let me know and I'll give you a part #

I got the one from Wal-Mart and that's why I didn't think it fit. didn't work so I brought it back, never though about modifying it, maybe I was too hastey. is it a metal cup that fits?

an oil filter is only supposed to be a half turn after the gasket is touching.

never saw one that said 1/2 turn, although that may be enough, the ones I have used usually say 3/4 - 1. they probably don't want the liability of it falling off.an oil filter is only supposed to be a half turn after the gasket is touching.
