People still think it's 65 at night. Odd is normal.

I hast nothing to do with the fact that you were in florida, it had every thing to do with the fact that you have an innie not an outie

got 60 miles or so under my belt today...Changed the Oil...Fucked around with the oil filter, Kawasaki Engineers are fucking bright with there design for the location on my bike.

This was the aftermath of my attempt at going at this thing without the "right" tool...And I use that term loosely because I used oil filter tools to try and remove this fucking thing.

With that being said, Amsoil in my bike didnt make Huge leaps and Bounds...But the clutch engagement seems alot smoother from a stop when clicking down into 1st. And Downshifting also felt alot smoother than before.

All in all I'm happy with it. And will probably stick with it for the life of the bike.

I love my location, It's in plain sight and can be removed easily

Did that thing possibly have a soul you were trying to steal? Holy shit, I mean really, I've always had filters that were kind of hard to get to, but I never destroyed one like that.

Whatever the Kawasaki Dealer uses for Oil...Kawi Has there own oil...It just says Kawasaki Performance Motorcycle Oil on it. A few people swear Suzuki's Oil is Motul just re labeled...So who knows if Kawi's is anything of the same sort.

And I'll snap a picture of the Filter housing when I get a chance...It's not in a good spot...At all.
