Oil Filter Mount - Buell 2007 ULYSSES Service Manual

OIL FILTER MOUNT

GENERAL
See Figure 3-122. Oil is pressure-fed from the oil pump to the
oil cooler via an external steel line. From the oil cooler, oil
flows to the oil filter mount. Oil travels through the filter mount
into the filter through the outer filter holes.
Adequate oil pressure activates the oil pressure indicator
switch in the filter mount, which turns off the oil pressure indi-
cator lamp.
The check ball in the filter adapter opens at 4-6 psi (28-41
kPa) oil pressure. Filtered oil leaves the filter, flowing past the
check ball.
