2006 ZG1000
First oil filter change.
I was not sure what it meant when it said  ( Be careful that the element grommets do not slip out of place ) I thought  I had it all back together fine, and the bolt to screw it on took right away. Put the oil back in, go to start it and I herd a loud noice, like a bolt. It would not start at all after that. Running perfect before oil change .
Any ideas guys and girls, where to start what to do. Or is my bike done ?
Cant thank you all enough for being here and willing to help
Cheers

Did you hear a thud? Loud metal clunk? Did you have any gasoline leak anywhere? Especially out of the airbox?

Will the motor turn but not start or is the motor stuck?

Yes loud metal clunk, engine will not turn over
No gasoline leak that im aware of
Motor seems stuck
Thanks so much

I suggest you post the question to the C10 forum, here: https://zggtr.org/index.php?board=5.0 where it is more likely to be seen (than on the "open" forum).

thanks very much, but I have no clue how to move my post to there

I don't think you can.  But you can just copy and paste it to a new thread over there.

Everyone, go here to continue the discussion.
