Hey Guys,
I was draining my engine oil (as I have another active thread here where my floats were probably messed up and maybe leaked gas into airboxes (and i assume maybe engine, since the oil seemed higher than usual and had a gasoline smell definately to it))...

anyway, i was taking out the Oil Strainer and didn't pay attention to what direction it is...
I assume based on the pic i attached that if i was on the floor looking up, that thats how the strainer should be pushed upwards into the strainer slot. the FRONT/arrow part should be closer to the back of the bike, pointing towards the front of the bike.

Like if my toes are around the back of the bike, and Im lying down with my head around the front of the bike, looking upwards... then I'll basically push in the part just like how the picture is.
