WTF imploaded oil filter...

[dangerous]

STRIKE me flaming pink... FUCK me foreskin Fred... WHAT in fuckerys hell happened to the Buell 1125R filter since the last oil change...
imploaded on both sides... never seen shit like this before...

Is it a Fram ? While I've never had one do it, a minute's googling suggests they have a reputation.

Otherwise make sure the lines and passages from the tank to pump are clear and free flowing. Don't forget any tank breather too.

Jesus its bent the perforated tube in. Feckmefaze.

do not remember what it was as it was a prize as was the one that I put intoday... ill be replacing it again as soon as we get back from the north Is
this Buell is the Rotax engine so wet sump, all internal, will dissect the filter tomorrow to check its not blocked, yeah googling shit shows it happens.

Blimey! :eek5: Some idiot gave you a motorcycle filter for your tractor! :lol:

Well... I'm putting it down to a blocked filter, bit concerned tho why a lot of shit and a few sparkly things tho...

If I were you I'd walk it past Greg. I think 4 strokes are the work of the devil, so there might be some exorcism to be done.

1/ I'm no longer local to him
2/ i don't have a workshop
3/ Forums are the limit of my engagement now


And 4/ The few Rotax I've done, I didn't like.

He's quite capable of putting his little fingers in oil passages to check they're not blocked. I would also look at the crankcase breather system as they've become ridiculously convoluted to avoid any nasties escaping. Which can also stop air getting in.

[F5 Dave]

Ahh, there you go, that was all I was expecting, some ideas borne of experience.

A mate has a couple of Rotaxs and they are very appealing. But they dont have any oil passages particularly, or oil filters, or crankcase breathers beyond a piece of tube. :woohoo:

Every cartridge oil filter I have ever seen has incorporated a bypass valve specifically for the purpose of allowing oil to flow even if the filter gets completely clogged with dirt / debris working on the basis that dirty oil is preferable to no oil

[SaferRides]

There should be a bypass valve somewhere. Might pay to check it.

That's a worry. The put those things in aeroplanes.

I'm told it's an exhaust sensor on the two strokes which fails and can kill you. And has killed a few too.

The 4T's are simply built to a price. Try and get any more HP out of them and you find where they have skimped.

I would suspect the filter medium/ paper,I Have seen hydraulic filters do that. Either the medium is of lesser than spec, ie non genuine, or an additive in the system blocked the medium.(Abig problem causing cavitation, and early hyd pump failure).
Side note about "Fram" filters. An American company compared Fram filts, with genuine Harley filts, and found the new style Harley filts of much less quality , athough the older style filters from circa early 2000's made by Harley, were much better. Fram came out on top. (can't remember the company, but they are well resected in the industry.:mellow:

Fark, that would do it for me :(

I had another look at the photos. The filter material looks unusual, not like the usual filter paper in the cartridge filters I use.

Did the new one have any markings that might suggest who made it?
