I paid $7 for a plug and crush washer this year. Didn't cure my problem though. My oil changes were running me $26 until about 18 months ago. Because of the cost of oil my last one was $39. Zuki Filter, Zuki Oil.
I just open up her belly myself 
Scrimped on the filter so you could buy more Moonpies?
How did you not check your mirrors and see the smoke?
Very lucky you are and very happy Colton and I are you didn't hurt yourself daddy.
I use rubbing alcohol to clean anything off my tires I worry about.

My sausage fingers would beg to differ..
Never saw any smoke at all.. :down:
So I just got an email from BikeMaster and they sent me a UPS prepaid shipping label to send the filter back to them. They are offering me a K&N filter and my choice of oil for my problems..
Stand up company!
Of course they don't offer Amsoil, so now I've got to choose a new oil for next oil change LOL.

Ton of smoke coming out and you had to have a trucker bring this to your attention. Do you ever check your mirrors?

sometimes you dont see it, my oil line seperated on my ninja 1000r one time,
never saw the smoke but sure did feel the oil on the rear tire at 70 mph.
Well it was only $6...
I contacted them by their facebook page and they want me to send the filter to them. So maybe they actually care.
Bikemaster is Tucker Rocky's house brand.
OEM all the way brother

I'm glad to hear they're taking care of you. I can see how you might not catch the smoke right away. Since the issue was at the filter, the smoke would be coming off the bottom of the header and very low to the ground. Probably not where your mirrors are aimed. Now if you were to damage the engine from constantly running lean by using an aftermarket system with no tune, then I'd expect you'd more easily see it in the mirrors, as the smoke would be coming out of the muffler(s) at an upward angle. But that's just my speculation...
Any thoughts on using brake cleaner to clean the tire? I've never heard of that before, but would be weary of it after seeing what brake cleaner can do to a piece of plastic. Have you gone back and given the tire a once-over now that some time has passed? Any lingering effects?
