Oil change issues

4950cycle · March 13th, 2013, 08:24 PM

Hi I got an 06 250 Ninja I turned into a trike. Anyway i went to change the oil filter and clean the screen. Seems to me the previous owner may have gotten the spring , filter , and tin filter hat in the wrong order. I may be wrong but it just does'nt look correct. Can anyone verify in what order the oil filter system goes in ? It was in this order from the bottom up. Cover plate, spring, filter, then tin hat (filter shroud of some sort). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't have the bike my self, but maybe this might be useful.

You did not mention the flat washer that goes between the spring and the filter (92022).

I didn't see any washer

Were all the other things in the right order that I said

I did'nt put oil in it yet. I will pull the cover back off and put a washer of the right size in between the spring and filter element. So this is how it goes from the top of the bike down. Tin Top hat, filter element , washer, then spring on the bottom , right ?
