Just in the proccess of doing an oil and filter change (bandit 600) and I've gone all blonde :oops
Tighten the filter two full turns from initial contact using the tool employed for removal
What is a full turn???
90, 180 or 360 deg :confused

You answered your own question!

Half turn = 180

Full turn = 360

Don't got mad with tightening it. It just need to be a good hand tight.

Wasn't sure if a turn meant a turn of the hand i.e. 180ish deg or a 360 :flippa

It is always quoted as a number of turns of the piece you are turning.

As Walter says, tighten it until it's tight, but as Big Kneed Al (master of the emergency stop & "stand up" comedian) says, not too tight. Just nip it up hand or even finger tight.


Always put a wee dab of oil on the rubber washer. Helps when time comes to take it off again.
