Title: Oil Sieve / Strainer Change
Post by: 53Indian on April 25, 2023, 00:49:23 AM
If you're changing your oil and filter, don't forget the strainer, opposite side to the oil sight glass, 17mm (?) bolt, side fitting, spring loaded.

These break down over time and disintegrate - my 2001 R1 had 11,000 miles on, serviced it just after purchase.

Check the picture!

Kawasaki part number 16097 1058, around £10.

Thanks for the heads-up.
