Don’t know if I mentioned this before but my 750 has a 1” hex head oil filter bolt!!?? WTF?

Bryanj:
Thats been welded on by a po

Johnny4428:
You’re probably right Bryan although somebody has mad a good job. I couldn’t see the need for some company manufacturing something this size. But in the US OF A anything goes.

Having received the "genuine Honda" washer, I can see how the washer is easily missed/lost if you don't know it's supposed to be there.  It's black and its outer diameter is about the same size as the rubber gasket on the filter.  It would be almost impossible to notice if it sticks to the gasket.

All sorted today.  The 17mm filter bolt arrived so I went ahead and used it rather than the old (now 11mm) bolt.  Filled it up with oil (Castrol Power 1 full synthetic 10w40 JASO 2), ran out and got the engine good and warm.  Did several WOT accelerations through the first four gears to 10K RPM.  Checked for leaks upon return; found none!  :)

Bike is essentially now ready for extended use with no further required 'interventions' other than routine maintenance and whatever items I may decide to change/modify.  I have a couple in mind...neither would be considered "smart."  ;)
