Greetings from Ireland !
I just changed the oil and oil filter on my 06 VX 110 Sport, talk
about hard !!!! It was like it was welded on, got it off in the end
with a rachet strap and elbow power !!. Now that I have the new
filter on, how tight should it be,I have it on hand tight at the
moment if I leave it as is will it work itself loose etc, any
suggestions would be great, thanks in advance .......

hand tight is good enough, had the same problem with mine, tried all the different filter tools in the end i drove a screwdriver through it ! think temper got the better of me. i will be changing it every 30/40 hours so it wont be happening again, wher in ireland r you ? Im waterford

Slowstang305

Yep, I did the screwdriver trick as well.

Did the Screwdriver trick too, that made it worse and managed to bend the screwdriver in half !!!! like i said the rachet strap and elbow power got it off in the end. Im in Courtown. The waves are getting good now down here for jumping with the bad weather coming in, any good spots down your way ?? Where in Waterford are you ?

ride in tramore every sunday morning, at the far end of the beach theres a massive sand bank which creates massive swells and waves.

Sounds good, might take a trip down im always lookin for good spots with big swells is it easy to get the ski in the water, its a nightmare in Courtown especially on ur own slippy and steep etc

Bones80

we drive down the slip onto the sand and back em in then or take trailer off, simple. tide in or out is fine. well we there every sunday @ 10 for hour or so

misterjay
