oil filters
That'd be the one! Used to have a Kerker 4into1 pipe on my old Seca 550.....which was nice, come oil change time..... the way the pipe was designed.....you could drain the motor without spilling a drop anywhere else.

Look what the cat drug in!! It has been awhile Gav.......good to see ya again. Just read an article on the Triumph 675.......Nice Ride! I've always liked the exhaust note of those triples.

oil filters
to the MadHouse Joel Sounds like your assumption of the correct way to install that filter.........is Correct from what I recall (Previously owned 4 different Seca's ) Not quite sure what you mean by "Middle gear drain plug" though If your Seca has stock exhaust pipes....that main drain plug is kind of a Bitch to get to, but it can be done. It's located on the front of the sump on the bottom of the motor. Hope this Helps

Helmet Advice
Go to a dealer with a good selection......just to try on helmets & see what fits the best. Then possibly mail-order your choice...(better price if you're not in a hurry) Bought an Arai like that once......for only $130 delivered to my door Arai, Shoei, AGV, KBC, Shark are just a few brands that make good lids.

Oil spraying in air filter housing on a xs1100
1st of all........ to the forum Willy Sounds to me like your crankcase might have Too Much oil in it? Probably wouldn't hurt to do an oil change to eliminate that possible culprit. Those old XS11's are great for 2-up riding

Changing rear brake pads on fazer 600
It could very well be that backing plate making those noises There's some stuff you can buy (not sure where on your side of the pond )....but it's refered to as Disc Brake Quiet over here......it basically is like a sealant for the caliper piston to adhere to that backing plate. I remember it being a Non-Hardening type, sorta like a gasket sealer. Hope this helps @ least a little

Motorcycle newbie with a (California) legal question
MOT's only apply to the other side of the pond Here in Oregon, we just have to pay the registration fee, title transfer, & have proof of Insurance...... To get current year tags for the plate. I believe California is pretty similar?

XT on the Dirt!
The only real way to get your XT dirty...... is to actually ride it in the DIRT! .......Not on some Panty-Waisted patio gravel shit! I'd like to see Pete try this with his XT sometime ...... I know it'll never happen though........That'd send him into convulsions!
