Use Purolator or Bosch filters. Fram filters suck hard core. Honda's better, but not as good as the other two.

 

Yeah, Purolator are very good too. I use those on my car. Never thought of that!!

 

FRAM SUCKS!!!!!!!!! Try a nappa gold, or a silver if you change oil freq. K&N/ Bosch/oem/Wix( nappa)/Purolator= good, if you have the room that bit longer filter can't hurt, if a good quality. Clean and free, Ripp'n

 

agreed, fram is the worst.

 

Tally another one up for the "FRAM SUCKS IT BIGTIME" side. I had a Fram filter on my Dodge Shadow turbo, and the damn thing exploded (literally)......oil was everywhere. Replaced it (with another Fram).......did the same thing a few months later. I never used Fram or recommended Fram since. I use the Purolator, K&N's and Bosch as well.

 

here's a lil study they did on some different brand oil filters for automobiles but should be similar for bikes..

I use K&N on my F2 and RR. The f2 runs about 12 bucks, but the RR was 9... I guess older models are just more expensive since they are old...
