I changed the oil and filter on my 1983 Honda Shadow. After refilling the crankcase to proper
level, no leaks. Everything seemed fine.
It was a beautiful day, so I took my wife to work
in the back of the motorcycle. Upon entering a tight turn
the rear of the motorcycle was very squirrel, but they came out with
success. He immediately stopped, waiting for a shot, but instead found a tire intact with a layer of oil that drips. We
made some calls, and her friend led her to work. I had a friend with
a trailer to help me get the bike home.
The oil filter was right in front of the rear
wheel. The rubber seal blew, throwing 1.5 quarts of oil
in the rear tire in less than 50 feet. A little research revealed that
the old seal had been attached to the metal of
the engine. So I had two seals. Doubled-up when I installed
the new filter. This was fine until the bike is totally hot. Then with the oil pressure to operate at higher speed,
double sealed off.
Clearly, this was my mistake embarrassing. Now
closer inspection to ensure that the old seal out, before installing the new oil filter in my car or bike. By the way, I did well
to lubricate the seal back into the new oil filter. My mistake was not peeling the rubber seal of the motor
age, when not out with the old filter.
