Oh the filter was fine to take off..... This bolt is beyond tight. He out his weight behind it and it started to round off so had to stop so as not to damage itMine was tight but not impossible. The filter was a beotch without a filter wrench though. KN204 I a godsend.

I'd buy a new bolt then. Don't wanna strip the head and not be able to get it off. I used screwdriver to remove filter, messy!Oh the filter was fine to take off..... This bolt is beyond tight. He out his weight behind it and it started to round off so had to stop so as not to damage it
Dealer is 10mins from work. Going to take it there. They put bike together for me so they can loosen the bolt abit!I'd buy a new bolt then. Don't wanna strip the head and not be able to get it off. I used screwdriver to remove filter, messy!

Ya, not a bad idea. If the bolt is that tight the thread might come out with it...Dealer is 10mins from work. Going to take it there. They put bike together for me so they can loosen the bolt abit!
Filter was simple to take off .... Oh and put right back on!
Seeing as you are getting rid of the filter there is a simple solution to a stuck on filter and lack of filter wrench.Mine was tight but not impossible. The filter was a beotch without a filter wrench though. KN204 I a godsend.

Yeah, that's how I removed mine. Made a mess, now I have a kn204 with the nut on top.Seeing as you are getting rid of the filter there is a simple solution to a stuck on filter and lack of filter wrench.
Take a decent size screw driver and slam it through the filter and twist away. Works like a charm when you get one that doesn't have the socket on the top to make taking it off easy as can be.
Tried and just smashed the filter.You really don't have to use the screwdriver method. If you take a Channel Lock plier and squeeze the top and bottom then twist until it breaks loose you'll get the filter out.
Really? I've done this on every occasion that I've had a too tight filter and it's worked. Guess I've been luckyTried and just smashed the filter.

I crushed mine trying to get it off with pliers. No worries anymore since I have kn204.Really? I've done this on every occasion that I've had a too tight filter and it's worked. Guess I've been lucky
Rode my bike into work today with the new tires, the bike is easier to lean into turns. It caught me off guard, I was a little concerned. I guess because the tire is rounder.
Went to dealers, they said it was crazy tight and was the right thing to take it to them. Slackened it alittle, ya know Marty CCW lol. Most of the bikes are coming straight from the factory like that now apparently. Chatted to a few of the guys there, came home, hubby did most of the oil change for me, took it out for a spin and alls wellYa, not a bad idea.

WOW! Now that's a dirty girl. That's a helluva long trip.I just parked my 2009 Blue in my parents' garage, finishing a 5,546 mile road trip that started in Seattle and ended in Dallas. Then, I got to work removing the red clay from a few key nooks and crannies.
Then I poured some Arrogant Bastard Ale on the rear tire and chugged the rest myself.
Hey guys, long time no see. Recall that I used to post here as ChUcK but somehow lost access despite numerous attempts to contact the mods a year or two back (ahem, mods, you lazy deadbeats)
