What's the purpose of...
30 Jul 2021 08:34 - 30 Jul 2021 08:36
... the cover installed over (or under) the oil filter?
In my 20+ years or maintaining my previous ZX-11, I always installed the said cover over the oil filter. I was surprised to see it goes under the oil filter on my KZ750L but that goes over on my KZ1000J (as on ZX11). Every other parts are about the same so I'm wondering why and what is the purpose of the shown cover.
Pictures comes from OEM parts manuals.
Thanks!

I´ve been ridden my Z1B for more than 25 years without the cover on top or bottom of the filter with no problems.
For me there there no technical advantage to use this oil filter bucket cover in the future, because KHI didn´t explain anything about it.
If you feel safer with the bucket(s), so put one on top and bottom, give it a try and report here......

According to the KZ1100 Shaft FSM that cover is a fence.
