K&N oil filter clearance

Post by GlenR » Sun Mar 23, 2014 8:59 am

Howdy,

Changed oil today and the local parts place only had the K&N filter with the nut on the end. Annoyingly, it hits the radiator fan shroud so i had to space the whole lot out a little bit with an extension on the lower mount.

Is this a common thing? or perhaps the lower radiator mount is bent? It clears the fairings and all that when swung foward a little (about 14mm more foward) so just wondering if people have done this before and if there is anything to worry about having done so? :geek:

Cheers!

I had the same issue with a K&N oil filter on the wife's RVF. I ground the nut off and all is well!

Hope this helps!
