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

Works great, no problems so far. Bike doesnt vibrate as much in high RPMs in comparison to the OEM filter I had. Or maybe because my oil was just dirty! Remember to tighten the oil filter with your hands, the welded nut is intended for removal purposes only.

I prefer the hex top for the ease of tightening and loosening the filter.

I use this on my 2006 Kawasaki Mean Streak 1600, but have used other K&N oil filters on multiple other vehicles Ive owned. The selling point for me is the hex nut brazed on the end of the filter, and Im simply baffled why nobody else does this. It makes removal of tightly located filters a snap. Frams textured filter surface is the second best thing, but they arent readily available for many non-car vehicles (e.g. motorcycles, ATVs).

Used this filter for my first oil chnage on my bike, went on perfect. The nut is only for removal not for installation. I did you use it anyway but be sure to only torque to spec and do so slowly other wise you will break it right off.

Very great filter. Does what it needs to do and more since it’s K&N. Love how it comes with a twist bolt so no need for a filter pry tool.

Just what I needed. I use this on a Honda Goldwing. A normal filter is hard to remove because the lack of space around the filter. This puppy is a breeze to remove because of the nut on the top. On the downside, the nut is a 17mm, so its the only nut of that size on the bike. It would be nice if it was a 19mm to match the existing 19mm hardware on the bike. However, the adjustable wrench in the toolbag is sufficient, so no need to pack another wrench. Still,... just sayin. I have no way to measure the particulate efficiency of this over another brands filter, but I change my filters well before the recommended interval. Therefore, this more than meets my needs in an oil filter. The big plus is the built-in nut. Pros: - built-in nut makes for easy removal - black color blends into the belly of the bike Cons: - well, that 17mm sized nut, but...

K & N Amazon review Have used before. I dont have my motorcycle oil analyzed like my trucks so I have no idea how well it filters. But I use K & N on my street and track bike. The nut on the end is a good idea however I have an extensive tool collection and no 17mm socket or wrench fits well enough to remove a tight filter. All slip. I use a strap wrench to remove and can use the nut for installing due to the low torque value. That is, I reach the correct torque value before the socket slips. One issues I see is due to the design of the nut to body interface a socket can not seat properly. The nut also appears part of the housing which is sheet metal and if so unlike a solid nut or bolt may deform with enough force. Ill see the next time I change oil.

I did my first ever oil change using this filter and some Castrol 10W-40 racing oil. Installation was a breeze. I lightly lubed the o-ring of the filter with fresh oil as suggested on the internet and some reviews on here. After that, I hand tightened it and used a 17mm socket to secure it to my motorcycle (a 1/4 twist past hand tight is sufficient). There have been absolutely no issues in the 14 miles that Ive rode with this on thus far. When I go to replace it for my next oil change, removal should be far easier than the OEM filter due to the 17mm welded nut. I will definitely buy additional in the future granted it continues to perform well on my motorcycle.

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...

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.
