OMFG oil filter HELL!!!!!!! (video added)
OK I am uploading the video of what the filter looks like now tomorrow and will add it to this post but WTF! why WHY does yamaha dealerships put the filter on soooo darn tight!!!! I honestly think they do that so you cant get it off yourself and you HAVE to bring it in to them, there is no other reason for it! HAND TIGHTEN PEOPLE ugh! oil change took 3 hours!!! my hubby is built like freaking superman and for one, there isnt enough room to even get proper grip on the thing, we used a jar opener, gardening gloves, and no budge sooooo we went to walmart, got the oil filter wrench, put it on thinking problem solved, patrick ratchets it, and we hear a "click" the darn wrench kept slipping!!! AAAAAAAAW! soooooo after trying the wrench for 5 minutes and it not gripping the filter AT ALL we shuved the jar opener inside the wrench, hammered the wrench onto the filter and vwalla!!!!!! it came off, FINALLY, except now we couldnt get the wrench off the filter, /facepalm
so patrick beat the crap out of the filter to dent it up enough to get the wrench off lmao, WORST oil change EVER!!!!!!!!! but all is good, oh and thanks yamaha for putting the filter in the WORST possible place on the bike...brilliant....really.
p.s. i love my bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!
