Tried to use one of these when I changed the filter on my mate's Bandit. It was cack! Kept slipping around the filter. Ended up using the old screwdriver & hammer trick...much more satisfying!

perchance it was overtightened when it was originaly fitted......
monty take note
obviously once it's fitted hand tight give it a check after a few miles and periodicaly after that for peace of mind 
giving it 600nm with a 3/4 drive power bar does tend to distort the mating surfaces and cause drips thru the gaping holes

Suzuki recommend there filters to be tight... Very tight.
Screw in by hand until it lightly stops, then 1+3/4 turns more  Which when you do it feels painful and your waiting for something to snap...
With Piaggio its just a case of nipping them up... ive got a filter tool, but tend to prefer a wide flat file tip... and use it like a giant screwdriver. |
