Angry KLX250 Oil Filter replacement, PITA

Getting around to changing oil and filter in my 2019 model. Popped the filter cover off, there really should be a better way of doing this. Some flange or something that would extend out so you wouldn't possibly damage the the cover. Once off, the filter fell out, along with a little spring. Took me a few seconds and a visit to a Youtube video to reassure me that I was reinstalling the filter correctly. That is spring, the recommendation to dab some grease on it so it will stick the the engine case in the middle of the X or +, then the filter then replace the cover in the proper orientation so that oil channels line up. This is really a primitive set up. I'll have to make a note so that I don't have to go down this road again. It just occurred to me that if I lay the bike on the left side the spring should stay in position without the grease. Some engineer should have figured this out decades ago.
