Beware all 13 redhead owners. Blown hose & more

The connecting rod isn't weak, it just doesn't allow enough oil to pass through the crank and the rod bearing. We offer a crank mod for $100 that modifies the oil path through the crank and rod bearing, allowing more oil and higher hp due to less friction. Also, instead of running 50 weight oil, per the manufacture's spec, we run 0W40. This increases oil flow from 28 to 46% depending on 50 weight oil brand you previously used. The stainless steel oil filters typically increase flow availability 7 to 1 which is especially useful during cold starts.

Here's a link to an older post of mine with some other links attached and other info: http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/what-kind-of-oil-should-i-use-and-how-much.31911/#post-311061

OK Tinken you can use it as needed to clarify and to keep our cafe crew edumacated on the 'x-lite" oil pump filter flow route.

It's flawed, doesn't show oil path to crankshaft.

yep only the direct hose line up to the cam bearings, ps i still cant believe my cam bearing surface was virtually gall free after the gear shear no oil pump evolution. These synth oils are waaay good for heat and lube properties.

Tinken can the 2013 oil filter cover gasket be used with the 2012 o-ring only bikes? I do not know if it is a paper gasket or what on the 2013, I know awhile back you had an oil filter cover gasket on your site but it is long gone.

Um.. I'm not sure. Better call us or email

I believe yes it has a molded in "oring" onto the gasket to fit into the oring groove.

My KTM has two stainless filters. They are extremely easy to clean. I spray them down with carb/contact cleaner on the outside, then from the inside out. To clean them further, use hot soapy water, or just air dry them with compressed air from the inside outward. In a pinch, you can use gas, have done this out in the field.

What measurement is the pc racing SS filter?
I have a oem, hiflo 116 and a outlaw racing SS

They measure (overall length grommet included)

Oem 34.3mm
Hiflo 35.7mm
Outlaw SS 36.2mm

Worried this will cause a problem with oil flow around the filter??

The measurement for the oil filter housing is 37.5mm deep for filter to sit.

That's not leaving a lot of room in there.....

Any help?

Does that include the depth into the lid?
That only leaves you with 1.3mm which when you figure the area around the filter, it equals a 4mm hole. Kinda close, try flipping the grommet around, usually thinner on one side.

Yeah that includes the stub the oil filter grommet seals against.

Tried flipping grommet on SS filter and measures the same

Anyone want to measure their PC racing SS filter for me

Cheers

Pretty close to the same.

If you install it, make sure you press the filter into the cover first, then press the whole assembly into the motor.

'Wish I had seen all these measurements earlier; makes it easier to decide which filter to buy. I have the Scotts 2172 based on earlier discussions and just put my calipers on it; 34.1 mm according to my 40 year old Polish measuring device. Pretty close to OEM.

Yeah I'm thinking I'm going to get a Scott's filter, anyone got a link to purchase one? The outlaw SS filter I have is to close for comfort for me

Thanks for the help guys

I wish Husky had milled some oil groves into that chamber for oil to flow around.

Agree!! The Scott's filters going to cost a fortune to ship to me in aus... Bummer

Tinken are you guys running the PC Racing SS filter with no problems?

I am currently running a Hiflo116 which looks to be very close to the same measurement as the PC Racing filter.

There alot cheaper
