Hi guysHave just changed the oil and filter on the k6 and just before I filled the oil tank I thought I'd have a look inside. There is around 6 mm of thick sludge in the bottom. None of this came out with the old oil so would have gone unnoticed had I not peeked in the actual tank. I proceeded to try and remove the tank until I noted a further feed / braided pipe at the rear which I could not get to ( obviously a feed and return pipe set up) So I re installed the tank and went ahead and filled it, with a view to doing another day.I went on line and the only reference I could find with regard to its removal was to 'take the engine out' which appears a little drastic.Has anyone removed it without too much of a strip down for a clean. Has anyone had any issues with the sludge - guess what I am asking is should I ensure its clean before I run it again. I'm sure this sludge has been in the tank for a while and it does not seem to have caused any issues to date , but thought I should get a second opinion on the matter ?RegardsPaul
Hello Bryan.The bolt screws in to the hilt but still left a 10mm gap.So I turned the bolt down 10mm & everything appears fine.There will only be me working on the bike. The adapter bolt I had made is as near to the lost original as I can remember. But I don't recall the filter bolt being any shorter. Can't just work that one out. Sean.
