Ive looked all over the engine and cant find anything that looks remotely like an oil filter compartment that ive seen on other bikes.
If I recall correctly, this bike has a centrifical oil "filter". Not really a filter as commonly refered to but rather a hub about the size and shape of an eggshell cut in half. Oil flows through the filter and centrifical force forces heavy particals to the face of the hub. Particals build up on the face and are thus "removed" from the oil supply. This type of filter is usually on the end of the crankshaft. To clean the filter just scrape away the soft buildup and put the engine sidecase back into place.
It is located on the kick start side just forward of the clutch and on the end of the crankshaft. Bear in mind, it may be that no filter exists at all. Doing an oil change is also a way some of the smaller bikes manage to clean the oil. It has been a few years since I have worked on that engine and don't recall for sure which filter style is used.

If you take off the clutch cover and look to the bottom right of the engine you will see a black ruber strip. Pull this out and thats your oil filter. Unlike your usual filters you can just clean it and place back in.

Thanks for fast response, im not a mechanical expert, was just wondering which side of the engine it is located. Right (kickstart side) or left (sprocket side).
Thanks again
