Steve,

        I put the Mr. Gasket filter on my tiger and the exact thing you
described happened.  The screen filter came loose (screen was about 50%
clogged up) and the  screen lodged in the radiator hose.  The filter
works --it just needs to be checked frequently.

                                John
