Wanted to clean oil screen for 1st time on a 2000 800 drifter I purchased with 11000 miles on it , it now has 15000 on it. Pulled the screen out and it was really squashed. Think previous owner had it in backwards. I belive the solid cap end of the screen goes into the oil case and the open end of the screen goes against the spring and threaded cap that seals the oil case. Can someone please confirm this for me where I can get bike up and running Thanks in advance
On my 1500 the rubber gasket goes inside. The washer goes over the screen and nest against the rubber gasket then the spring goes over the screen. The metal end of spring would be facing out. Torque plug to 14 ft. lbs.
I would think the 800 would be the same but not sure.

Gregpaulc, I looked your 2000 800 Drifter up on Kawasakipartsnations web site. The parts schematic ( oil filter/oil pump) will show you the correct orientation of the screen and other parts in question. Hope this helps. Happy Drifting, CDD.
