I got a clean tub and unscrewed the SOB of a filter off and dumped my new Mobil #1 into the tub. I then went to Blackfoot Motosports and got a Triumph filter for $17.00. The threaded portion on the WIX filter was flat, while the threaded area is concave on the Triumph filter. This difference made the rubber gasket not seal tight enough.

Has anyone else had a problem with filters that are supposed to be a replacement for brand name parts on their Bonnies?

I guess it could be the thread on the tube not continuing far enough?

Haggie95, what is the year of your bike? Maybe it is a model year? Maybe it is just my bike?

Thanks for the link BuzzardSkeet. I'll try a Pure One next time. It has been a while since I visited beautiful downtown Bowness.
