Just a quick question, Anyone know of a supplier, open today, for a filter and oil for my 1200GS?
North / west of manchester. (other than Williams BMW)
Sadly so many people (mechanics included) tighten the filter much too hard. Hand tight is hard to gauge when you have socket handle leverage but really folks. If/when the socket slips (as they often do) drill a suitable hole through the middle of one flat. Fit the socket and knock a screwdriver through the hole then it should unscrew the filter.
