Changed oil filter & missing washer
Yesterday i decided to change the oil myself since i had the free time. My last oil changed was done at the local yamaha-kawi dealer that i purchased my bike from.
Upon removing the oil filter i noticed that there was no washer between the spring and the oil filter. Should i be worried about this? I have a lot of miles under my belt without that washer and i wonder if it cause any sort of negative wear. Unfortunately, since i had to have the bike back up and running by days end to go somewhere i reinstalled the filter and continued without the washer. I even managed to strip the main oil filter bolt (it was a long/bad day) trying to untighten it. (I used 17mm but didn't remove fairing). Everything is back on and there are no leaks as of yet. I was just curious if i should be worried and just reorder the bolt and the washer and just change the oil again? |

You could file the head down to 16 mm, but only if you did not use a six-point socket for loosen the bolt as you should.
