Oil filter?

Do these engines have oil filters?

I was looking on eBay trying to get hold of one and all I can find is the little filters for the crankcase breather. From looking at the engine, there's no obvious place for the oil filter to be.

So, do they just not use filters or what?

Thanks, but doesn't that mean you need to open up the casings to get to it? Seems like a lot of effort just to clean the filter.

Don't worry about it, im assuming you have a 125 in which case theres no point pulling cases of to change a stupid mesh square or filter.

As I said no filter for a 125 unless you want to do the above^^

Re: Oil filter?

Alright, thanks all. I put a new piston in the bike yesterday which stopped it smoking. Not going to bother cleaning that gauze out. Can't wait to get it to a track now...
