what about yamaha filters made by denso? good? crap?

i ask this as i know from experience with my 4x4 truck that 'toyota' brand filters were different and far superior to others. i say 'were' because they stopped making them in japan and switched to china and they became crap.

I really believe your best value is the Purolator Pure One. Its yamaha blue. Its about the same price as the motorcycle filters but it works real well. Just my opinion though.

i think you just like the 'fast blue' colour

OH YEAH!!!!! I like metalic blue alot. I like white too. My last three vehicles have been white. My favorite is the new VFR with the red/white/blue paint job.

Purolator Pure One oil filter

Guys, could you advise which Purolator Pure One oil filter I can use on 2007 FZ6 Fazer S2? Probably you can give me exact number? I`m asking because I heard that FZ6 2004-2006 and FZ6 S2 have different oil filters, so I would like to be 110% sure before I buy anything.
Do I need PL14610 as well?

Could you also give me a link to some online shop where I can order appropriate oil filter? I live in Russia, it is a bit hard to get Purolator Pure One filter here

Thank you very much! I will try to buy it by myself first (don`t want to bother you). If it won`t work - I will ask for your help

Amazon doesn`t deliver to Russia which is very sad.

i made this thread a sticky to the top, very helpful!!!

Purolator recently changed the packaging and color of the Pure One filters. Now they're Caterpillar yellow with grippy texture.



This is a new PL14612.

Sorry I don't have the box. I stuck it under the seat which crushed the crap out of it, and I peeled the sticker off because it was also scraped off a little.

It must be a safety thing, their trying to make the bike more visible on the road. Yellow???:ban:

go about halfway down. Motorcycle Oil Filters & Air Filters

upon disection filter was contaminated with dirt when new, and has a small amount of filter media.

Maybe they have changed now. I dont know.

36 square inch filter media vs 110 square inch filter media.

OK well I guess I am bit confused as to which are not recommended due to your line spacing in the original post.

Same here. Perhaps an edit is in order? Just to make it a little more clear on what is and isn't recommended. Good work by the way.

Excellent post! As I travel around the country I have found that all the recommended filter are not alway carried or available by the automotive stores so a list of recommended filters to choose from is great!:rockon:

I put this list in my Blackberry notes a long time ago. I can now reference it at the store and find a filter fast!

Used your guide and went wallyworld to get a filter and Qhorsepower lube, got it all for $22, Thanks GRUMPY
