I got a oil change kit from my dealer. Went to to the oil change today and followed process. When I cranked it up after adding the 1st 4 quarts- I hear a high pressure "blowing" sound and look down to see oil pouring out from the filter. I kill the motor- the filter is tight as I can feel. I was using a 2.5 adapter to put it on. 3/4 past seal touching. Thinking maybe the filter has a hole in it, I go grab a K&N filter 203 to see if that will work. At this point, I am planning on taking it to the dealer to look at it. The K&N has the nut on it, and I run it up and tighten it pretty tight. I add about a quart to get me to midway between low and full on the dipstick and do the same thing- start it up. SAME noise and oil pouring from filter.
If I tightened too tight- would this be the behavior you would expect? Maybe I tightened to far...
The bike has 4500 miles and we are about to head out on a long trip. I have changed oil on cars and bikes 100 times and I have never seen this before, Any ideas??
I appreciate it guys
