Motorcycle Forum / General / Yamaha / July 2004v-star 1100 oil change
Changed the oil and filter on my vstar 1100 and after I finished I started to wonder if it is possible to put the filter in backwards. I put the filter in with the opening facing outward. Is this correct or is it the only way it will fit? >Changed the oil and filter on my vstar 1100 and after I finished I started >to wonder if it is possible to put the filter in backwards.

I seem to recall that it is physically possible to get the filter in backwards. If this were my bike I would go back in and make sure it was in correctly -- the protrusion facing out. Again, this is if the engine is the same. They certainly look the same, and my wife's VStar 650 took the same filter as my Virago. Oma -- Walk with many, follow The One. (to email, change nospam to w000023) Spend the $129 for the relocation kit. It is well worth the money. >>Changed the oil and filter on my vstar 1100 and after I finished I started >>to wonder if it is possible to put the filter in backwards.

Still worth the $s. came with three chrome filters. www.phatperformanceparts.com >where did you find a relocation kit for $129? > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] >>>-- Walk with many, follow The One. >>>(to email, change nospam to w000023) thanks for advice. Must be in right according to dealer service department. put 200 clicks on it since with no problem so must be good. > >Changed the oil and filter on my vstar 1100 and after I finished I started > >to wonder if it is possible to put the filter in backwards.
