I own a GSXS1000F. Changing oil on this bike is extremely difficult. The oil filter is behind the exhauxt headers. While you can get to the filter, one needs to remove all or part of the fairings. A real nuisance!. Now that I installed this filter it went a lot easier. You can use rachet wrench to install said filter in a very tight space. I am hopinge next time that I will not have to remove any fairings
I have used HiFlo filters in several motorcycles for many years. They have performed without failure. I buy the type (the "RC" series) that have a hex. It spares me from having to buy an oil filter wrench for every type of filter in my fleet.
I use this for my 2014 Suzuki Vstrom 1000. With the attached ratchet/wrench point it sure makes oil changes a snap. I have never had a filtering issues or leaks on any of these filters I used over the years. The price is decent and ships quick.
These to me, are just as good as a K&N oil filter! For the money K&N is over priced, so I've been buying HiFlow brand!! I've used a few of them already in my sportbike!! Don W., FW, TX
