Just did my oil change for the first time yesterday at 300 miles, and was prepared for the hell which ensues as one changes the oil filter cap. After completing it, I was wondering what all the fuss was about. I then realized that perhaps my cap is different:
It seems that I have a top locking bolt that others dont have?! Is this the nfieldstore version?
http://nfieldgear.com/enfield-store/e-z-oil-cap-uce.htmlI'm curious why my bike has this, are they putting them on the new enfields now (I took delivery this month)?
I bought the (5x) filter kit as well and had the extra small oring to put in there, but I tried to remove the top hex bolt, but its ON THERE. I felt like I was going to shear something, so I decided to not force it and leave the old one on there - it looked perfect anyway.
BTW, a small tip for that pesky oring on top of the gold washer. Use a few very small dabs of grease (I used white lithium with a high temp rating) under the oring to keep it in place while inserting into the filter cavity. Also, make sure the inner oring (the one will inside the motor at other end of the filter) is seated well.
