Re: Rob Needs a New Brain
Would you believe I began putting in the left-side fasteners when I remembered that I hadn't lubed the splines nor the push-rod tip? :? Yes. :) Spline lubing is over rated anyhowz. If you lubed your splines one week and looked at the splines a week later after riding, it would appear that you never...

Re: Collapsing oil filters
To me, the cause of a collapsing oil filter is much greater pressure on the outside of the oil filter, than on the inside. Perhaps caused by the oil pump creating too much pressure, or a major leak in the oil circuit after the filter. I don't know if it is possible for a particular oil pump to creat...
