Is the original susuki filter the only good option or are there other filter brands I should consider. Fram, etc??? I'm at 580 miles so I plan to do the oil change this weekend.
First oil change

wtf is that? doesnt look like a busa,must be the sun glare....i use suzuki oil filter
I will NEVER use fram filters after the independet tests I've read. Smallest filtering area, most restrictive filter on the market.
Nice Max! The guy I got my 91 from replaced it with a 94 and then put a blower on it. I only saw it before the blower, but the mechanics at the cycle shop know a friend of mine. (works across the street from the shop) And have brought over the blown max on test rides, so he has seen it.

So do you get the filters from the stealer??? or online somewhere.
Still using OEM oil filter and always will...just bought one yesterday matter of fact.
You'll never get a K&N 100% clean and who wants to mess with the cleaner and process cleaning it? Much easier to just toss the old one along with all it's oil contaminents in the trash and you won't be saving that much money to justify using the same K&N for life.
IMO, I like the peace of mind knowing I'm getting a brand spanking new oil filter w/ every change.

Thanks for all the input! I'll be hitting the stealer on the way home from work for a filter.
Ya don't re-use an oil filter...I put on a new one with each oil change.
Is it more money? Certainly...about $10 per filter. But I would never go back to a standard filter and have to screw around getting a socket in there with the zook filter wrench. What a gigantic pain in the ass.

However, they do make re-usable oil filters. The main difference is the filter media. The reusable filter contains a metal media instead of the more common paper media. The metal media can be removed and cleaned quickly and easily and then re-installed in the same filter housing. The cleaning process involves circulating or soaking the filter in a cleaning fluid and then blowing it with compressed air.
Regardless, the K&N is no better unless you may be drag or track racing and require the high-flow capacity.
