Hit the wrong button!!
I know this is probably the bane of many a life..........
I was going to change my oil and filter this weekend, the oil I have bought is:
http://www.maximausa.com/shopping/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=6
Can't see that it states it benig semi or fully synthetic, as from what I have read on here, Fazers run on semi?
Also, any ideas for getting the filter off? I have bought the wrench socket but can't see anyway of getting it on the filter without taking the downpipes off!! Which I am very reluctant to do.....I know the bike would have had an oil and filter change just over a year ago, as the guy I got it off had it done before selling it to me, so I can't guarantee that I'll be able to unscrew by hand (hence buying the tool....)
Any tips/suggestions?

If I had to guess I'd say it's a semi as it's an SG rated oil and Maxima list other oils as full synth. Whether it's semi or full it will be fine.
My experience of those oil filter wrenches has been that they often slip off unless the filter is barely tight. I usually end up stabbing a screwdriver through the filter to get it off.

As mcyoungy says its the SG spec thats more important than fully or semisynthetic. 10W-40 grade good for UK. Re filter removal: Tap filter removal tool onto filter body and fit extension bar from your socket set-then you can use ratchet handle to undo-simples!

Cheers both, only problem I foresee is actually getting the filter wrench behind the pipes to fit onto the filter? Other than that, as you say, simples!
Typical I bought that oil and now seen Hein Gericke are doing oil for £10!!!!!!!!

I use these filters all the time
just put a socket on a extension bar and put on and take off when the time comes,simples.

Top tip: put the flter wrench on the oil filter BEFORE warming up the engine/oil
Those pipes get f-ing hot

Ah... that kind of shows the problem doesnt it...
Im pretty sure those are non-standard pipes (for one, they are Stainless Steel). Mine allow pretty easy access to the oil filter from the sides so I can use a strap wrench easy enough. Even then there is enough room between the two centre pipes to get an extension bar in.
You may have no choice but to remove the pipes. Its not a terribly hard job, just need to be careful with the studs that hold them to the block. Spray some penetrating fluid on them for a couple of days (which sucks because you have to wait *sighs*) then try to remove them. If they give you too much trouble then wait for someone else to come up with a clever solution

Any way round to put it on. If it can't go in anyway, new filter will be impossible to place without removing pipse - which is a... a one more time and effort taking job.
