motorcycle oil filters.....what do you use?

[dime]

i'm wondering what everyone uses in thier bike,

i am currently using the napa power sports filter ps4934 but they have just switched to korean manufacturing so i'm looking at other options. i can only find the K&N filter online,so its hard to figure out just how many choices i have.

AZ has some of the K&N motorcycle oil filters

I use the Purolator Pure One on the Triumph.

Purolator "Premium Plus" - not the "Pure One".

There has been some controversy in using the "Pure One" filter and the argument is that they are so efficient that the amount of pressure needed for flow is higher than the "Premium Plus" filters. I don't know if this is so, but I'll punt and just use the "Premium Plus" filters.

O'Reilly's has the same filter in their "Micron" series and the numbers are the same as the Purolator filters.

It's interesting to note that for all of the motorcycle UOA's posted out here - that the brand of filter didn't seem to make any difference.

On my Suzukis, I've used OEM, WIX/NAPA, and Purolators from Amazon when they have 'em on special for like $5 or $6.

On my Suzuki Bandit 1250 I've used WIX/Napa and the OEM Suzuki...

Purolator PureOne 14610, the annoying one that is rated 99.9% at 40 microns instead of 20.

On my GL1800, I use the Honda OEM filter made by Toyo Roki.

Now that the supplier for those has been changed to Filtech, I'll likely start using a NAPA filter once my stash of Toyo Roki's is gone.

OEM, but chewing on the idea of trying others.

I use K&N, Wix, and now I ordered a couple model specific Purolators to look at and try.

I've used Perf-Form for about 10 years on one bike and have been using HD, K&N, and Perf-Form on the other. Perf-Form only makes bike filters and they make them to the OEM specs for flow bypass, etc. Glass enhnanced synthetic media and top notch construction. They also make them in OEM lengths (three different lengths for an Evo for example just as the OEM). But they are expensive. $11.00 for black. But I run them one year since I only get about 5K or less per year, per bike of riding in. So about a buck a month.

Honda OEM filter, bike is still under waranty.

Wix or PureOnes same as my cars
