Oil Filter Hose Clamp Believer

(1/2) > >>

80CX100:
I had referenced in another post that I would be dropping the sump on my CX100, to put a hose clamp on the oil filter as recommended by some here to prevent serious damage if the filter loosened off inside the sump.
I had previously put in a new oil filter when I first got her,but the bike hasn't been ridden much since,, but after reading a few horror stories,, I couldn't get the nagging doubts about it, out of my mind.
Sure enough when I opened it up,,,the filter was loose,,,not rattley loose,,, but even coated in slippery oil, with just a paper towel for gription, I could easily tighten it 1/3-1/4 turn.

Cheap insurance and peace of mind for the price of a hose clamp, jmho ymmv

BigDave in PA:
This is liable to wake up the anti-clampenites on here but I'm with you. I started using "THE CLAMP" years ago. When I instal a new filter I fasten the clamp about a 32nd inch away from touching the relief valve that way I'll know if it moved the next time I'm in there. I've never had one move but I never service a Guzzi, mine or anyone else's, without this cheap piece of insurance. I actually redirected my money from the red suspender to my hose clamp fund.

Bill Hagan:

Could not find it in the service manual, so am compelled to ask what torque value do you clampettians use for this application?   ;D
