I keep blowing oil filter seals where it dumps a LOT of oil all over the floor (Actually bends oil filter sideways a little and the seal comes out the side). Have tried different filters, OEM ones seem to work best and K&N's suck big time. I have been tightening them by spinning filter on till it touches and then 2 full turns tighter as I beleive is the factory spec. Mostly happens when I first start the bike when the engine and oil is cool. If i let it idle for a while it seems okay once oil is warm and thin, but if I whack the throttle a little before the oil thins out it pukes a quart all over the floor. Could I have blockage somewhere? Is there an orfice or screen in the oil circuit somewhere? Oil cooler plugged? I'm running 10W-40, should I try a thinner oil? Any ideas would help!!! Thanks
