Is this right for my 2016 Enduro anyone? Manual and full service manual don't specify a model number for the oil filter. https://www.halfords.com/motoring/m...s-manuals/champion-motorcycle-oil-filter-h301
The K&N ones are good. Integral nut for getting a spanner on them. OE Ducati ones are not dear but having a special tool for them is handy.
Thanks. I just wanted one straight away ... looks identical to the ProFilter one that was on there apart from manufacturers name. I do need a better tool for the job though, dented it slightly with my strap wrench. It'll be fine.
I wouldn't use those K&N ones. I have read reports of those nuts failing at the weld and oil leaking from them.
I’ve used them for years. Never had a problem. Only filter I ever *had* a problem with was OE. They’re only pressed metal so if one is ham fisted then I don’t doubt they can be ripped. Worked well on cars and bikes for me for years though.
Have used the k and n on several bikes. I can get from local auto parts store as opposed to bike dealer 30 miles away. No problems for me.
Surprised your using a strap to put the filter on. Usually a drop of oil on the seal and then winding it up the thread by hand is tight enough. I've never had a filter come off of any car or bike doing it this way (so far...).
Thanks John, first external filter I've ever done I think (in recent memory) my other bike doesn't even have a filter but then it hasn't run in 12 years either ...
Nice I was expecting you to say something from before they started using filters on bikes Know the feeling on getting things running again. Too many toys, not enough time...
