oil filter o ring nklr

[Michael Hagen]

I ordered several Emgo filters and 1 FRAM CH6070, it comes with 2 O rings in a package. One is orange bigger than the other but not as thick in diameter. I thought that was a good way to get a spare? Mike in the Mountains of Crestline Ca, still thinking his Sidi On Road boots are the best!

Jeffrey, Learning from others, I have been re-using the original one on my bike when I install a new Emgo filter. But I ordered some from Ron Ayers to have as back-up. Part number is 671B2555. It's described as 55mm diameter and costs $2.54. I don't know whether Kawasaki's convention on O-rings is to specify the inside diameter, outside diameter, or halfway in between. Ron Ayers website page for this part: http://tinyurl.com/6pve5m Here's a website discussing O-rings, saying the ID is what's specified: http://tinyurl.com/4fx6s I measured one of my new ones. Because the part is flexible, I measured the inside diameter at several locations and it was 54mm. Perhaps my plastic scale is inaccurate or there is a bit of shrinkage in the part after manufacture. The cross section measured at 3.15 mm using a micrometer. I recommend you get one from Kawasaki rather than trusting my measurements and guessing what the material is. HTH, Mike Martin, Louisville, KY ________________________________ Does anyone know its dimensions? Where it is available besides the dealer? Since my Emgo filters come without it...

No Silly Rabbit...The Combat Touring Boots made by Sidi are the best.. I think that "extra o-ring" is for another aplication.. The fram seems fine..No leaks here. What's all the fuss about.. Just use the old one..If it leaks get a fram filter.. Pitch the "extra o-ring"

Are you feeling lucky? From the McMaster-Carr web site: Part Number: 9262K769 $8.68 per Pack of 25 Type O-Ring O-Ring Type Standard Cross Section Shape Round Width 3.1 mm Inside Diameter 54.4 mm Outside Diameter 60.6 mm Material Buna-N Buna-N Type Standard Durometer Hard Durometer Shore Shore A: 70 Temperature Range -35 to +250 F Color Black Specifications Met American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) ASTM Specification ASTM D2000 SAE Specification SAE J200 I'd say the upper temperature limit for this material is borderline at 250 degrees F. They have a Viton part which is good to 400 F, but it costs more than what the part from Kawasaki costs. As for the torque spec, there is no spec given for these particular fasteners in my Clymer manual. Therefore you might consider using the "General torque specifications" ("Use this table as a guide for fasteners that do not have a spec.") Mike Martin, Louisville, KY ________________________________ From: nakedwaterskier What is the torque wrench setting on those oil filter bolts? But, I would have thought someone would have sourced a way to get the O ring without the oil filter in bulk cheap. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Oops. 72 in-lbs for the 6mm fastener. (Hafta get after my proofreader.)
