Title: 05' GS500F Oil Filter Number???
Post by: KrivoK on June 11, 2005, 12:36:19 PM
I searched and searched.  Just can't find it.  Any help would be awesome.
The only thing I could find was Fram Oil Filter #CH6000.  Is this right?  Couldn't find anything specific to the 05'.  Thanks in advance. :cheers:

Thanks again for the replies.  I bump this up so everyone can get a good laugh at the motorcycle newb.

So, I like to think of myself as pretty damn handy with the wrenches.  Anyways....................  I go to do my first oil change on my bike.  Everything going well until I start it up after changing the filter and oil.  Oil is basically POURING out of the filter cover.  As you can imagine, the first words out of my mouth, if I may quote from one of the all time classic Christmas films, "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDGE" :x .  

Well, obiviously I have not done something right and just as I expected, my gasket to the cover popped out just enough that I pinched it when I tightened the cover down.  We'll just chalk that up as a $24 lesson that I will not soon forget. :dunno:  8)

Only you didn't say fudge.  You said THE word, the big one, the queen-mother of dirty words, the "F-dash-dash-dash" word.
