oil filter csr1000

hi i think i have missed a washer when i installed my oil filter it goes on the top of the spring do i need to drain oil and fit one

Assuming you used a quality filter that has a fairy thick grommet you don't need to drain and put the washer in, but be sure to put it in on your next oil change. Ed

i used a k&n filter thanks ed ,i think it was stuck to bottom of filter silly me so will have to get another one

You should be fine until next oil change. The same thing happened to me and I didn't notice the washer was missing until about 10 oil changes later. I was using (and still use) K&N oil filters too. Ed

What? :ohmy: Ed using an "aftermarket" part on his 650??? :side: Drinking the K&N koolaid are we?

For the record, I'm using stock Kawasaki filters on my 750. They are cheaper than a K&N and I don't like wasting money.

I would use Kawasaki oil filters, but I wouldn't know where to buy them at a reasonable price; dealers in my area seem to think they are made of solid gold. The K&N oil filters are $5.16 on Amazon with free delivery on orders greater than $35. Where do you get your oil filters, and how much do they cost? Thanks, Ed

I did the same thing and replaced it recently..... easy to do .... think about a new spring too.... I can't believe how worn at the ends mine was after I really looked at it.

$5.16 works for me. I bought a couple filters from either Bike Bandit or Partzilla last time I ordered and they were about $7/each.

Just ordered a WIX filter today $7 at OR. They're a little wider and taller. Been using them for 2 years. No problems.
