Re: [ST] FYI - OIL

[Dave Bardell <dbardell@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rick,

Just changed over last week and put on 300+ miles on Sunday with no 
problems at all. 

In fact, the Amsoil filter looks a lot like the stock Honda filter that 
Rider mag was using to replace the stock Triumph one.  I compared the 
sealing O ring to both Honda and stock Triumph and saw very little 
difference.  Blurb in the last Rider in the back about this and shims 
and levers.  Priced the Honda filter mentioned and it was more than the 
srock Triumph filter.  So I went the Amsoil route.

I compared the sealing O ring to both Honda and stock Triumph and saw 
very little difference.  Although my filter wrench that fits the Triumph 
is just a little too large to grip the Amsoil filter.
