Trying to get the SBK ready for the track day this Sunday.  Unfortunately I've got everything I need except a filter wrench  [bang]

Anyone have one I can borrow.  Willing to travel to come get it  ;D  There's a beer involved also...

I do not have a duc speciific one. The smallest autozone steel band style wrench will work if you can reach most of the way around the filter (I know I can on the 848 case).  Cheap at lesss that $5, and it tightens as well.

Even cheaper...jab a screw driver in the side of the filter and turn. Take longer to type it than to do it...

Channel-Lok works great...and is what I use on my M900 - if I do not get the K&N.  Works better than a screwdriver.

If you are at Motopia, I can bring a Channel-Lok over for you to use/show how to use.

Thanks very much for the offer but I was able to get the oil filter off this morning.  Yea.  Also, I'm no longer at Motopia  ;)

I weld the filter to my workbench and use the small strapwrench to turn the bike.

The LARGE strapwrench I use as my "girth meter"  [popcorn]

next time you need one, i have a duc-specific oil filter wrench, i also have a pair oil filter pliers for stubborn ones. In the future, use a K&N Filter (KN-153), which has the nut built onto the bottom of it.
