Think I found a Good Oil Filter
dragerman posted a topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I’ve been shopping around for oil filters for the Venture and until I read this post ( http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=100&highlight=motorcycle+filter ) I haven’t had much luck, particularly since I was doing my search by make and model. Wal-Mart Canada didn’t stock any and Canadian Tire only sold the K&N-303 for $25… that’s nuts!! My favorite filter is Baldwin, I’ve been using this brand in my diesel truck for 12 years now and researched filters at the time for the best one available. After talking to the good people at Ontario Filter (just off Dixie Street north of 401) and seeing cutouts of more common brands it was more then clear that the Baldwin was of superior construction and filter medium. With the posted information on filters (nice work thank you!!) I was able to do a cross reference with Purolator, Mobil and Bosch and each linked to the same Baldwin filter. Oddly enough the product guide for this filter does not list Yamaha but does say Kawasaki Motorcycles. Here are the specs; Contains: Anti-Drainback valve 14 PSID By-Pass Valve Thread: M20x1.5 O.D.:2 21/32 (67.5) Length (B1400): 2 5/8 (66.7) Length (B1402): 3 ½ (88.9) I. Gaskt - The 2.5in filter is B1400 - The 3.25 filter is B1402 I’m very satisfied with this and am going with the B1402, the other nice thing is that it only costs $6.44. That’s more like it! ... Now if I could only make a decision about which oil to use.
