Where is the oil filter on a Vstar 650?

The oil filter element is located on the right side of the engine. There is an outer cover and an inner cover that you will need to remove. The outer cover is round and can be identified by three bolts. Remove the three bolts and remove the cover. Now remove the inner cover. It has two bolts that are located to the right of where the outer cover was located. (you can see the inner cover bolts to the right before even removing the outer cover) Inside you will see the paper oil filter element. Also, there is an O ring on the inside of the inner cover. The owners manual recomends you change the O ring when changing the filter. After changing the filter and O ring, the specified torque for the inner and outer cover bolts is 7 ft-lbf or 1.0 m-kgf.
