oil filter mounting pin

When performing my first 'at home' oil change, I noticed that my
filter had no mounting pin. Does anyone know if Kawasaki stopped
using this pin? Or, more likely, should I suspect my dealer of
neglecting to replace it during a previous oil change? Thanks.

Hi,
It is still used, therefore someone forgot to refit it, probably threw it out
with the old filter. You have been running with unfiltered oil so replace
ASAP.

That would be the oil pressure relief valve, which is part of your
bike. Looks like your "mechanic" tossed it out with your old filter.

Oh, boy... that's a real bad thing. I think it would mean you are
running unfiltered oil. Call Fred. I think you need Kawa P/N
16156.
I think this part also has something to do with the regulation of oil
pressure in some magic may that somebody else can probably explain.
Whoever changed your oil last threw it out with the old filter. A
dealer, right?
