Crap. I broke the oil filter cap. Tips on how to change needed.
After this year's oil change I went to bleed the air from the oil filter and accidentally turned the screw the wrong way. So now I have to replace the oil filter cap and I'm wondering which way to do it since the bike is filled with oil.
Should I empty the oil again, replace the oil filter cap and follow the standard procedure? Or can one lay the bike sideways, replace filter cap and just bleed the air? |

Oops!
No need to drain the oil - put the bike on a slight gradient or let the side stand sink a little into some soft ground (be careful it doesn't sink too far obviously! Maybe get an assistant.) I've had the whole side of the crank case off like this without draining the oil and got very minimal oil leakage over the space of an hour, just caught it in a drip tray. You shouldn't have a problem for 30 seconds swapping the filter cover! |
