I haven't heard a lot of good things about fram filters for a while, but I don't recall hearing this sort of problem. I use K&N filters almost exclusively nowadays, but do have a Kaw filter as well.

- April 19, 2010, 18:29:28 PMi did my my oil changes on my bikes this weekend changed my harley 1st no issues then changed my 2000 drifter 800 with kaw. semi syn 20w 50 and a fram 6017a filter no issues, then changed oil on my 2001 drifter 800 with kaw. semi syn 20w50 and a fram 6017a started it up and both oil and temp light stayed on, i shut it down dumped the oil checked the oil screen to make sure i put it in correct and everything was ok. so i put another new fram 6017a filter and another 3.3 qts of kaw 20w50 oil and started it up again still both lights stayed on shut it down again. then i took off the fram and put the old filter on checked oil level then started it up and both lights went off in a second. (i did pre prime my filters as i always do) so today i went to dealer and bought a factory filter and another 4 qts oil ,dumped the oil again pre primed filter and fired it up lights went off in a second. every thing seems ok. just wondering if anyone has run into this with fram filters or did i lose prime on the oil pump? bike has about 3500 miles on it. i have been using fram 6017a filters on my 2000 800 with about 10k miles on it and 8 oil changes in never had this or any issue. has any one seen or herd of this, i have been around bikes for a long time but this baffled me...
