Nothing is wrong with the Yamaha filters, except that they are missing the nut.
what oil filter do you use?

Ok, lets do a simple math. If the yamaha filter is $12 and purolator is $6, the saving for you (if you change the filter every time you change oil) is a whopping $6 * 4 = $24 per year! Wow, that is really really good!

I was always spend the extra money on a factory filter. If I find that K&N make the Yamaha filters then I'll buy K&N if it cheaper.
When I did my first oil change on my bike at 550 miles I bought a filter cap that adapts to the Yamaha filter for $3. In my experience over the years with automotive K&N filter we found that they were too thick and that there is really no need for such a thick oil filter, it slows the flow of oil.
Stick to factory filters, they were designed to work with your engine.

just changed my oil today with mobil 1 4t 10/40 and a purolator oil filter (classic) not a big fan of the classic but i have used worse I.E. walmart supertech oil filter, idk what part number but it is suppost to be made by champion and champion makes bosch. pretty much any oil brand oil filter for late model honda civics fit our bikes. use the bosch 3300 as a cross reference when picking filters so you get the same size filter because a bosch 3300 and 3323 both fit honda civics.... bosch 3300 is the same filter size as factory, but with a little more filter filter media. after i took off the super tech oil filter i cut it open and looked at the media pleats. they werent uniform, some pleats were spaced more apart... bosch is always uniform i cut the filters open every time to look for particals.....
I purchased a case of Redline 10W40
Red Line Synthetic Oil - Motor Oil - 10W40 Motor Oil
for my Suzuki S-40. Now that I've changed to the FZ6R, I have a lot of the oil left. Is this good for this bike?

KN-204 got them in bulk from Amazon $5.25 each. I bought 6 that should last me the life of the bike since I don't ride that much.
