Default Cannot get oil filter mounting bolt to loosen

I got the oil drain plug to come out and drain without a problem. Now I am trying to get the oil filter bolt to loosen so I can change the filter. It is not budging at all for me and I am putting plenty of power to it with the exact wrench size.

Any suggestions?

Thank you, It is a bit hard to enjoy the ride when my bike is sitting in my garage without any oil in it....

good ol factory over torqueing. Put a cheater bar on your wrench. Use a short 6 point socket if you can. Make sure to rotate in the proper direction too! lol Good luck.
