Hello

Just to show you this oil filter. Looks like very good filter. I found few metal pieces into the media.

KTM Duke 790, Odometer 4000Miles
Oil: Maxima extra 15w50


New oil: Motul 300v 15w50
Oil Filter: Hiflofitro HF-650

That's a pretty large cartridge filter for motorcycle engine. Sounds that this was the 2nd OCI, so the metal flakes you're seeing is probably still some break-in debris.

It's a 790, gotta expect some metal. Just hope it's not too much.

Thanks for the post! HiFlo makes the filters for K&N, so if you’re looking to save yourself some money for the same filter, you can use HiFlo’s website to find their filter numbers for your bike. I recently went through this exercise with my wife’s Honda Rebel 1100 DCT. The DCT has a very unique little booger of a filter and aside from Honda OEM, the only other one that makes a replacement is HiFlo (and a HiFlo carrying K&N markings).


How are you liking that Motul?

I've never seen a filter with a width to length ratio like that.

Cool bike!

From time to time, I’ve entertained the idea of getting something like that, that would be fun in the corners but not tempt me to ride at 120 mph like my old R1!

You should post some photos of the bike.

My Road Glide Limited can do 120 . Wild to do that speed on a half ton tank

What, downhill with a tailwind?

AND drafting an SUV…but it’ll do it!

Seriously though, I’ve got an intake, full 2 into 1 exhaust and a dyno tune on it. The fastest I THINK I’ve gotten it to is 125-130. The speedo stops at 120 and it’ll get there no problem. It’s a ‘23 with the 114cu in engine in it. Liquid cooling around the exhaust seats as well.

That’s a fast Harley!

I rode a 96ci Softail once and it felt quick. That was back when 88ci was standard and 96ci was “big bore”.
