New Apollo 250 Oil filter & Sprocket?
My bike was delivered last week. Once I got it together I pulled the oil drain plug, expecting to find an Oil filter. But all that's there is a spring & a little wire mesh screen. Does anybody know of a cartridge style oil filter that works in the motors? Also when I down shift, I hear a bit if chatter coming from down by the shift lever. The chain is adjusted correctly. So I took of the front Sprocket cover, I found that the Sprocket has a bit of play on the shaft. Not so much rotational play, side to side I can tilt the Sprocket back & forth a bit. Has any had or heard of this issue?

I've done a good bit of time and research into finding an oil filter that would fit but never had much luck. But It's not really necessary. The engine has a centrifugal oil filter under the right side cover that will remove all the find particles. You can put quiet a few miles on the engine before it will need cleaning. The screen filter will catch any large particles.
As far as the sprocket play, that is normal. I'll move this thread to the appropriate section so everyone will see it.

That's good to know that there is at least some kind of filtration for smaller particulates. With the Sprocket, I hope it doesn't cause wear to the shaft
Sorry, This is the first time posting on a forum. I haven't learned my way around yet. I'll try to move the post to the appropriate spot thanks |
