John E Black YaBB Newbies Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 39	Oil filter cover 07/15/16 at 07:07:02 Help Changed the oil and filter a couple weeks ago and when I started the bike this AM, something (?) blew out the wall of the oil filter cover...had ridden it a couple times with no issues. What could cause this????? I would add a pic but cannot figure out how... Thanks

How long of rides? The only thing you can do now is to put the filter in the right way, put a replacement cover on, and see if the engine has survived.

We've seen two engines destroyed by dealership mechanics that way. It's not gonna change the cost, but maybe you won't feel so bad. I would get the oil drained into a Clean container and look at it, run a magnet through it,but the filter was closing the oil flow off, so, odds are, it's toast. If you had ridden off, nailed it hard and blown the filter through the cover in thirty seconds, you'd be in a statistically better place.

How much Did you ride it before it cracked the cover?
What did you do that made it crack the cover?
Did you wind up the RPMs?
