Oil change
Ok... been 3500 miles since I bought the Nomad. Time for an oil change. I went out and looked and it has a simple spin on oil filter..... I thought these were all replaced with the cannister style with the nut on the front (tht's what the sevice manual I bought from Kawasaki shows)...... remember it's an early '99(98) with the oil level sight glass way down under... (no pun Tex)..... does this indicate in any way that I still might have that plastic gear?? Is there a way to tell..... and if I'm not having any problems shoud I just replace the spin on filter with what's on there????
Remember this is Nico.... MachoDC that has the shop do everthing up untill now!! KawaNOW!!! I NEED ANSWERS AND TO BE SMITED DAMMIT!!!! Login or Register to Remove Ads |

I believe you have the plastic gear. Its easy to tell you have the plastic gear by being in the middle of absolutely nowhere and you'll be broken down, thats how you will know! My 2006 has a spin on filter.

I'm with blowndodge on this one Nico....According to the Kawanow spec sheet, http://www.kawanow.org/specs.htm , you do have the plastic gear. Unless it's been replaced sometime before. Also, I would replace your oil filter with the same type spin-0n filter. Just my 2CW.

Ok... thanks guys... so I'll stick with the spin on oil filter.... and no way to tell if the POG has been replaced except as BD so eloquenlty stated about being in the middle of nowhere and breaking down....
Jeff.... I will check with Kawi..... that obviously wasn't a recall item I suppose...... |
