got 60 miles or so under my belt today...Changed the Oil...Fucked around with the oil filter, Kawasaki Engineers are fucking bright with there design for the location on my bike.

This was the aftermath of my attempt at going at this thing without the "right" tool...And I use that term loosely because I used oil filter tools to try and remove this fucking thing.

With that being said, Amsoil in my bike didnt make Huge leaps and Bounds...But the clutch engagement seems alot smoother from a stop when clicking down into 1st. And Downshifting also felt alot smoother than before.

All in all I'm happy with it. And will probably stick with it for the life of the bike.

Whatever the Kawasaki Dealer uses for Oil...Kawi Has there own oil...It just says Kawasaki Performance Motorcycle Oil on it. A few people swear Suzuki's Oil is Motul just re labeled...So who knows if Kawi's is anything of the same sort.

And I'll snap a picture of the Filter housing when I get a chance...It's not in a good spot...At all.

I think honda and yamaha have their own too, never went for those though used to use the belray or motul.

People have started WARS over Oil...And what to use and what not to use. I've used a shit ton of different brands in my vehicles...My motorcycle just now got Amsoil after Dealership Oil changes...But it's never going there for one again. They fucking rape me in labor to do an oil change and with my learning curve complete for the proper way to take off the oil filter...It will now be a 10 minute process.

I love my location, It's in plain sight and can be removed easily

Let us know how it works with more miles on it. Took a couple hundred for me to actually notice the difference on the Buell.

Will do. I put about 150 on it so far the past two days...Just glad to be back on 2 sooner than I was last year!

Did that thing possibly have a soul you were trying to steal? Holy shit, I mean really, I've always had filters that were kind of hard to get to, but I never destroyed one like that.
