Oil filter inner cover was created by Bozo
I've just noticed there is a pressed metal cover that sits on the oil filter internally. I remember having one many years ago but lately (6years ago at least) it has been missing. My question is does it do anything (if so what) and does it have to be fitted?.

Yes, some bikes had it some didn't. It may help keep some amount of oil around the filter. I use it to hold some oil in the filter before installing it, just to get oil in the system faster after a filter change.

Thanks for your replies, apparently the Z900 has it listed in the parts list but the Z1R does not, so I guess I'll leave it out.
