Oil filter change without removing fairings

[storm]

Good to know. I can get the fairing of in 5 mins but still PIA &
waste of time.

I have done every thing to avoid taking fairing off. If only takes 5 min then agree would be easier to just take off. If you are going to remove would like to see how it is done.

The first time took awhile as I had to figure out the fastners's positions.
3 screws.2 fasteners bottom of the fairing,2 on the top near the tank,one near radiator, one of the pin types inside front of fairing. Yank the fairing off. This is from memory. I need to buy new fastners. Old ones are a pain sometimes to put back in.

Anyway I have decided to change filter every second oil change.even the oil after 6600 kms was clean.didn't change filter at 1k as I did not have a filter wrench and the damn thing was tight as hell. Filter after 7700 kms didn't have anything particularly interesting in it.
