Changing the oil in the Nytro

[yamaha06]

So I am changing the oil in the Nytro, everything's going good, I decide to pull the screen out from the oil reservoir, and the screen was kind of bent and had creases here and there (looks like when the dealer cleaned it the forced it back in there. I played around and tried to get the creases out and get it straight and it doesn't look to bad, is it going to be alright or should I lood at getting a new piece with the screen to install?

I wouldnt worry about it

Unless the screen is broken where large particles could get through or the screen is broken and may come apart and send pieces of metal through the system I would not worry about it.

I little bent should not cause any problems.

oil

Wher is this screen that you guys are talking about??

The screen is in the hose that comes out the bottom of the oil tank. Remove the hose, the 2 screws beside the drain bolt and out will come the screen.

Well I got the oil all changed, how tight should the oil filter he, I know the manual has a torque spec but I was just using a ordinary filter wrench, I put it on hand tight and turned it about half a turn with the filter wrench, I'm not sure if this is enough or not it turned pretty easy still with the filter wrench bit I also don't want to over tighten it, she's not leaking oil yet ha

My thoughts on your initial question: as long as oil can pass through the screen still, it's good and still functional. Just made to filter out the large debris.
