Yamaha v star 650 oil filter location?

The oil filter on the V Star 650 classic is located on the right side of the engine, next to the driver's side floor board. It requires the removal of the three hex bolts in the round cover then the 5 hex bolts in the cover underneath it. Remove the covers and the filter pulls right out. There is no need to do anything with the exhaust on the 650. Make sure the o-ring is good and replace the parts in reverse order of the removal.
