Hi all I have a NC29 and I bought an exhaust off the old 400 forum a while back. The problem I got is the oil filter is touching the exhaust. I would just like to know if this is supposed to be like this or do I need to put some dents in the exhaust so it doesnt touch the oil filter.

should be about an inch gap, wouldnt like to put a dent in the headers as this would resrict air flow

dents in the exhaust???????????? youve either got the wrong filter or the wrong pipes my friend.

more likely wrong size oil filter.

I've bought 3 oil filters from 3 different suppliers. 1 was smaller but not in diameter only a little shorter but it still touches my pipes. Today I was checking my chain, I had the bike up on a paddock stand and oil started peeing out from around the oil filter area ? I think the headers may have burnt an hole in it.

Can someone post a pic of the oil filter / headers gap please

heres mine (sorry for the filth)

Thanks for the photo.

post a pic of the zorst....it should clear heaps
