675 Oil Filter Frustration

Hi guys, this may already be common knowledge but just a heads up anyway.
If you’re doing an oil and filter change and the replacement filter has a nut shape on the end to tighten it up, avoid using it, this can easily damage the filter and cause a leak, as I’ve found to my cost. I used a hiflo filter but I’ve seen similar K&N filters.
Apologies if I’m stating the obvious lol

 

Yeah cheers, thankfully it wasn’t a catastrophic failure, I’ll be sourcing a new filter first thing in the morning.
