K&N Motorcycle Oil Filter: High Performance Black Oil Filter with 17mm nut designed to be used with synthetic or conventional oils fits Honda, Kawasaki, Triumph, Yamaha Motorcycles KN-204

once i installed the oil filter i could not put the plastic cover shield back on because of the raised hex on the oil filter

I like it because of the ease to install with the twist off feature on the end of the filter. The shortness of the filter for my application, a 2013 Yamaha FJR 1300 motorcycle is bad and good. It went on easier because it is so short but I have a concern about its filtering capabilities also because it is so short. It is not as long as the OEM filter from Yamaha. I will see when the oil is changed next what kind of filings it has in the chamber. Otherwise it fit well and was my first time using this particular filter

The nut on the end is genius, you’ll appreciate it after removing the OEM filter.

I use this filter on my 07 CBR600RR and have had no problems with it. Ive run both standard and synthetic oil again with no issues. I mainly use this filter because of the convenience of the socket wrench removal. Futhermore, if you want to follow torque specs, this will actually allow you to torque it down to a specific value with a torque wrench. Personally, I use the German method...Guten-tight! Great filter, great price. Amazon, you so great.

Quality product from K&N as always. I love the nipple that they included at the tip of the filter, makes for easy installation and removal, my factory filter didnt have one and it was a pain in the arse to remove it. But going forward my bike oil changes will take 15mins tops and half that time is waiting for all the oil to drain :D When it comes to oil filter and air filter, I will always buy K&N for my car and bike :)

Put the filter in around 15k on my Honda 919, along with valve check and new chain/sprocket. Never had an issue, bike runs tip top. Went on a 3500 Mile ride from CA to Sturgis this year, going through Yellowstone and Rocky mountain national park. We were in the middle of Wyoming when I started smoking(oil filter drip is right above the exhaust) looked to be a slow drip from the nut plate of the oil filter! i watched the oil level at every gas stop, and 100 miles from home I had lost half a quart. Bought some oil to top it off and rode home with my hand on the engine kill in case this stupid filter catastrophically failed. Worrying for 100+ miles about a $15 part failing, siezing the engine, and throwing oil all over my rear tire simultaneously... I will never be buying anything K&N for my motorcycle again.

I went with K&N since it was not convenient to get the certified Triumph filter. I find the K&N does a great job for a little less than the price of the Triumph filter. It is definitely worth trying out. The nut an the base is great if you dont have a filter wrench/tool.

Its an oil filter and therefore really isnt anything glamorous. I like K&N filters in general and I believe they do a very good job. I very much appreciate the stamped steel nut on the back of the filter. It allows me to easily safety wire the filter for track use and makes removing the filter a breeze. I am using this particular filter on a 2006 CBR1000RR. *update* I originally had given this filter 5 stars. Why not? It has a handy nut welded to it to make safety wiring and removal a snap. It is made by K&N which has a reputation (at least for air filters) for making great filters. Why am I now dropping it to 1 star. Quite simply because the gasket failed! In the past I have run into K&N oil filters that have leaked a bit from the gasket. Not on my bike but on automotive applications. Being that I have to safety wire my filter on my bike I figured a small drip here and there wouldnt be a problem. The last filter I used though had a much bigger issue than a small drip. I was at Jennings in FL running a track day when I got black flagged. When I pulled off the track I saw that I was spewing oil every where. The entire right side of my bike was soaked in oil and it was smoking off the exhaust as if it were going to catch fire at any moment. Once the fire watch was over I rolled the bike to the pits to investigate. I thought for certain I had catastrophic engine failure. It turned put the oil was coming from the filter. More specifically the base of the filter. When I pulled the filter off I found the problem. The gasket had failed! It actually had split at a seam in the rubber. To me this is completely unacceptable. I ran to a local parts store and picked up a cheapo Fram. The Fram filter uses a standard old square cut o-ring like any ordinary automotive filter, I have no idea why the K&N uses a fancy o-ring that appears to be some sort of rubber casting. Whatever the o-ring is made from it is the only oil filter gasket I have ever had fail in any application. It is also the last K&N oil filter I will ever use. Not only did I run the risk of starting the bike on fire, but had I of lost all of my engine oil it would have cost me much more than a new filter to fix. The risk is not nearly worth it to my. The Fram cost 1/3 what the K&N did, has a much better gasket, and is made in the USA. It looks a bit cheesy in orange with a black trippy material on it and requires the use of a hose clamp to safety wire it but it does the job and keeps all of the oil on the inside of my motor!

Got these for my 2015 yamaha FJ-09. Fits great and always K&N quality. Why all oil filter manufacturers dont have a nut welded on by now is a mystery. K&N geniuses know whats up. These especially help in tight areas where many oil filter wrenches wont fit( you can usually find a socket to get on it!!

I have a CBR600RR with around 7000 miles and have used K&N oil filters since the first oil change. Ive never had any issues and my bike runs like a charm. The packaging is nice and the filter comes capped with clear plastic so that debris wont fall into it during transport. Youll want to make sure you remove that before you install it.... It has a nut built into the front of it for easy installation and removal. I love not having to struggle while removing or installing. One thing to remember is not to burn yourself on the exhaust header! Or I guess thats something I need to remember...
