Just curious what oil filter do you use?
 

Hey I was just curious if you all run the factory recommended filter from the dealer or use brands such as Purolator, Napa, Wix, Bosch, Fram etc....????

manufacturer or Purolator

I've got some pictures of some I cut apart if you want me to post them.

I use a Hi Flo filter that I get from AF1 racing for my priller and wa susing a stock suzuki filter for the TL and gsxr. I have heard good and bad things about the purolator filters so stuck with stock for the time being.

K & N right now.

I've had a Hi Flo cut apart and from the looks of them are good quality even though they are really cheap.

A lot of the guys on the futura forum on aprilia forum use them and have had good things to say about them. I have used 4 or 5 of them so far and no issues.

I've used the factory filters or fram. I'm going to try the Bosch equivalent - not sure if that's who makes the OE filter (it might be Mann or Mahle).

K&N...buy them straight from their site, it's the cheapest I've found them

Purolator Pure One. Here's a bunch of info on motorcycle oil filters: http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Fil...tml#OilFilters

looked sintresting, of course in the article they dont list what filters fit aprilias :idk:

Nice. I didn't know they sold them direct. I bought 2 for 25 from an online Buell parts dealer....but they took FOREVER getting them to me...so I won't be ordering from them again.

I usually just get whtever the walmart filter is. its a cartrige style anyhow, so you'll know how well built it is right away.

K&N. I use the nut on the top of it to safety wire it. Most track day organizations require it now. And the drain plug.

i always use factory filters, but for the Amsoil fans, they recomend that if you dont use Amsoil filters to use WIX

I have the factory filters.

I bought a Vesra oil filter for my husband's bike.

K&P all stainless steel low micron rating, high flow, magnetic pre-filter... the filter money can buy!

chicken wire stops the big chunks of metal, clutch discs pretty gd.

Factory Honda. Asked my mechanic who is an ex-superbike racer/champion about other filters. Said even on his race bikes he used stock Honda filters and even stock Honda clutches with no problems ever. So I stuck with Honda. My bike has 50k on it with often sparatic oil change times. Runs perfect too

K&N. Nut built into the top so it's easy as hell to get on and off, and that nut is predrilled for safety wire.

Also, I found a guy who sold his R6 so he sold me 11 of them for $60 shipped. That'll last me the entire race season and then some.

I might have to look into that. My oil filter is a bitch to get off because of my new headers. I had to borrow the mechanics since his was grinded down and it was still a PITA

K&N

Do it. You'll never need one of those ghey oil filter wrenches again.

Like so:

Add another K&N.

Top nut + pre-drilled = no brainer.

Factory cause it's a cartridge style. Haven't checked to see if anyone else makes one yet or not?
