Bartley Posted April 7, 2008 Share #1 Posted April 7, 2008 Have any of you heard of, or have tried this oil filter? I couldn't find an application chart, but I'm sure they have the spin-on one for the RSV, as it's very common to Japanese motorcycles. www.motorcycle.com/products/kp-engineerings-reusable-oil-filter-71983.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The model for a 2nd gen starts at $149. A little steep, but depending on what filter you usually use and how long you keep the bike you can make your money back.

Condor Posted April 7, 2008 Share #3 Posted April 7, 2008 I gotta admit they do look cool, but I'm wondering if it's worth the PITA to clean one every time I change the oil. Me thinks I'll stick with what I have now and just pitch 'm when changing the oil..... Besides I can buy a ton of paper filters for $149 bucks....

KiteSquid Posted April 7, 2008 Share #4 Posted April 7, 2008 I would use an ultrasonic cleaner to get the filter clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted April 7, 2008 Share #5 Posted April 7, 2008 I would use an ultrasonic cleaner to get the filter clean. That would still be a PITA...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alounsbe Posted April 7, 2008 Share #6 Posted April 7, 2008 Where I work we have used similar filters in the hydraulic systems of our steam turbines for years, and the filters last almost forever if properly cleaned but they are messy to clean and hydraulic fluid is not nearly as messy as used motor oil. I also would rather throw the mess away and replace it with a new cheap clean filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
