The adapter key is a unique product offered by Ultracool. Its function is to stop the oil adapter from rotating when you remove your oil filter. Bikes from 1993 -2006 don’t have a part of the case so the Ultracool team devised a way to stop your oil adapter from rotating. Below are 2 pictures with the part of the case and without. Check yours before you start your installation.

Step 1

Remover oil filter and clean up filter mount. In the parts bag you will notice a 90 degree piece of metal referred to as an adapter key. If you have a bike from 1999-2006 you need to install this to prevent oil adapter rotation when changing your oil.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”]

Step 2

Remove the 7/8” adapter in center of oil filter mount. Place adapter key so long tab fits in the hole of the engine case. Add a few drops to thread locker adapter nut and replace the center of adapter key as shown.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” animation=”right” src=”https://pcracingusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/adapter-mount.jpg” sticky=”off” /][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”]
