where is the oil filter located on a 2008 silverwing?

Cant find the oil filter. I have looked all around the front and may be over looking, but I sure need your help.

It is under the bike behind the center stand.

Thank you so much.

I think Scooter Rider is pretty new to the Forum. Scooter, you will soon learn all the wonderful info and help available here. Glad I could help!

Interesting. On my Silverwing the oil filter is in front of the center stand. In fact, the whole motor is in front of the center stand.

Bit of patience with our new forum posters Bigbird, lets give our new members time to bed in. The member has only 2 posts to their credit at time of posting.

I do hope you don't transfer this written angst when riding when around new drivers/riders.

Welcome jdwils... did you find what you were looking for?
I looked for Troy TN because I had never been there. The slogan of your city is "NICE PEOPLE LIVE HERE" . Well, same here on this forum. Please feel free to ask away on any question you have about your scoot. There will be some one to answer what ever you ask about. Even bigbird will be helpful when you need him. He really knows a lot of stuff. We are just working on his presentation skills.

Rison is a lot more populated than Troy. We had 1,231 (2000 census) to your 1,210 in 2009.

Welcome again, say hello to all the nice folks in Troy.

Oops, I stand corrected. It is in FRONT of the center stand. Sorry.

Bigbird, the Buick of the UK will be the old boxy Volvo's, if ever driving in the UK beware Volvo drivers wearing a white cloth cap!!!!!!

When the symptoms of senility invade the male of the species then a white cloth cap become the badge of office signifying the passage to slow progress on the UK highways!! Normally two thirds of the nominated speed being the norm.

I did a quick google search on UK drivers and white cloth caps and got nothing. Any chance of a picture or link on this so I can see what you're talking about?

Lethal combination on the UK roads.

Just my personal view!!!

Apologies to all Volvo drivers wherever you are!!

BB/Terry, so much is lost in the written word. It is so easy to lose a meaning even when we speak the same language.

Just wondering why someone who can't find the oil filter needs to find the oil filter? Not criticising, just wondering.

I would have asked the same thing.
Perhaps if you can't find it, you are out of your league trying to change it?
But I didn't ask because I've had enough negative feedback here for 1 day.
I'll leave that to you, Yo.

Not everyone is a mechanical whiz and what may be an obvious thing to those in the know may not be so obvious to others.

We all have differing skill sets, if I want t know something I will ask, as stupid as it may be to others to me it may be beyond my limit of knowledge. Answering obvious questions will no doubt increase the know how of we less endowed.

I have to admit... well, I don't really HAVE to admit, but, I will do it anyway... I had never heard the word... "plethora". Here on the farm, we use a plethora of chicken poop for all our flowers and trees ... but I did look up the word and it is used properly. I also found the following link that explained it very well to me... My Spanish did come in handy after all...
