Oil filter?

Beave945 · Apr 18, 2016

Just bought a 04 fs650e. About to do my first oil change and was searching different threads for oil and oil filter most of you are using. Looks like Motul 300v 15/50 wins. But as for oil filter, couldn't find anything. Is there a preference? A quick Google search only came up with a k&n kn-155. I'm guessing there has to be more, probably better options out there. What are you guys using?

I use the k&n oil filter, hasn't let me down. I do my oil and filter after each ride so I'm not sure how it goes long term though.

If you check your local bike shop they probably have a other brands that should go ok as well

I used both kn and hi-flow brand filters in my 650
Only did the filter every third oil change

Tgat size of filter has a long enough service life that you could go 1,500 miles on it withoutt it losing effectiveness.

Hi-jacking the thread.

Do you guys change the oil screen at every oil change?

Rainerio · Apr 19, 2016

I look at mine and clean the oil screen if needed. On 4 bikes I have only replaced one. All 70d motors

I remove and clean the oil screen every time I change the oil.

I check the screen every oil change, for the extra minute or two it takes why not?

Rainerio · Apr 20, 2016

Most of the time I forget about the screen at the head. Thank You for reminding Me. I added a magnet to the filter only $5.00 cheap insurance or wast of money? Told the magnet is only good for 5 oil changes. How stupid do they think We are...........

543 Hours... how many Miles/KMs is that?

Idle · Apr 20, 2016

21,000miles is 33,796 km

38mph average means a fair amount of off road riding.

That's incredible.

All the threads on here make these bikes look like time bombs.

I take it you keep the revs fairly low?

What failed at 543 hours?

Idle · Apr 21, 2016

No on revs. FS650 Geared a little low for a sumo@ 16/44, track, off road, up and down canyons and some freeway if I need toget home.
Rarely lugged it, saw 7k+ rpm's often when passing multiple cars at once.
Main bearings are clapped out, found some metal I've never seen before on the magplug.
