I wouldn't I would rather pay teh 12 bucks every 3000 miles and stay with a proven method.

sounds to good to be tue, IMO

For $99 plus shipping vs $10 (my cost for OEM filter) and changing every 2,500 miles I will have sold the bike (25,000+ miles) before the filter pays for itself.

i have it, but only cause my dealer still doesnt have the DAMN STOCK FUCKING FILTER!!! so i went out and got it, very very nice quality and its easy to clean... Plus its custom

I guess folks did not read the fine print about filteration and how well it keeps the micron particles out. So u are happy with it?

I think that it is nice. It works the same way that the K&N air filter works. You never have to buy another one again. Granted, you will probably break even as far as filters goes for the price, but it looks nice, and claims to work even better. Besides, if you could manage to prove you engine failed due to a bad filter, you would win a new engine out of the deal. I don't think they would stake a claim that would cost them lawsuits out the ass. Overall, I wouldn't say it is a bad investment, especially if you are a person that likes to work on their own bike. Wouldn't it suck if a mechanic was changing your oil, and they threw away a hundred dollar filter! That would be a kick in the ass.

If Oil changes are done on schedule it should paid off after 8 changes....I have already done two on my 2003 636

I have 5400 miles on it since I bought it May 17

Yeah, I just did my second change, and it cost me 16 bucks for the damn filter. Seems kind of expensive if you ask me. I remember paying 12 last time, but it was a different area too. I need to get one of those. I plan on keeping mine long enough to get my moneys worth. I just hope that they make them for the ZX-10!

What brand of filter does everyone use? Just curious.

Also, why do some people say that FRAM doesn't make a suitable filter? That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

dman · Jul 22, 2003

I always use FRAM oil filters and they cost me 8.95 each.

I'm not saying you shouldn't use fram but my baby deserves better than cardboard

Thanks for posting that, hammer. Good site

jmickle11 · Jul 24, 2003

I've got a Hastings filter on my bike right now. The LF113 will work on the 636. Here is the review of it from the same sight that slammed the fram.

I've got a fram but probably won't use it unless I have to.

mvrk1 · Jul 27, 2003

Wow! I had no idea about the fram filters. Talk about good information to have!

kelvin · Jul 27, 2003
