Actually, you could fill the filter up to the top with oil and install it without spilling a drop. How? you ask. Just get one of those pit bull strapless restraint thingies and put your bike on a tilt table, then tilt the bike nose down until the engine is facing straight down, and Viola! just screw on your oil filled filter.Rynn Storm said:The trick is to fill the filter with oil and place in liquid nitrogen for an hour. Then (with gloves), quickly screw in the filter. Use a heat gun to warm up the filter and proceed as normal. Btw, special "motorcycle" liquid nitrogen from the dealer may cost more, but better than generic liquid nitrogen. This is all 100% true because I read it on the Internet from some guy that doesn't actually own a motorcycle, but his brother told him this is the right way to change a filter...
Now, who can say "oil filled filter fitter" five times fast.
