Here's a simple write-up from Toby Folwick on the TX750 oil filter modification / install.
This photo shows my parts engine with the standard TX750 oil filter in place. | |
The first order of business is to remove the screws holding the standard oil filter in place. | |
Next, remove the old oil filter cover by unscrewing the 13mm bolt that secures it. The space inside the engine left by removing the cover will hold the new BMW filter. | |
These are all the old parts to be discarded. (The old cover makes an unique paperweight). | |
| The BMW R65/R80 oil filter actually consists of two smaller filters held together with a plastic hinge. Remove the plastic hinge and, voila, you now have two Yamaha TX750 filters. The Fram filter identification number is CH6060 or you may choose to use it's equivalent from another manufacturer. Dennis Kirk carries this filter if you can't find it locally. NAPA Parts Stores also carry the filter. Their part number is #4945. |
These are the parts that make up the new oil filter system. Only three parts are reused from the old system--the large o-ring, the long bolt and the copper washer. | |
The new adapter with both o-rings in place. | |
The new adapter system ready for installation. Note, the small rubber collar on the BMW filter should be toward the threaded end of the bolt. | |
The new adapter system in place. Since the new element is smaller in size, it probably should be changed more often than the old one. The very first TX750's used a multi-disc filter similar to this new system. See the December 1972 Motorcyclist Article for more information and a photo of the early filter.
