Hi Everyone are Hi-Flo oil filters good? seen some reasonably priced ones on Ebay at �2.75, just wondering where there made? heard a horror story of a chinese made filter giving up the ghost and wrecking someones engine. or is it better to stick with the genuine Yamaha one?

the saving between buying a �2.75 filter and an �8 genuine one won't cover the cost of an engine rebuild, is it a gamble worth taking?
genuine everytime for me and changed every 3K miles

Hi flow filters are a load of bull,
standard filters all day long for me,
If standard were no good you would see blown motors all over the place,
v-tec

I would fit nothing else but a OEM filter.

Thankyou for all the advice on the filters, yes it is the green black box they say OEM to suzuki and Yamaha how true this is i dunno?

http://www.hiflofiltro.com/7.0.html

I've used them for years on numerous Suzuki DR's with no issues upto 80k miles.
I currently use Champion on my Ten (X302 - IIRC) which are readily available at Halfords.

Cheers,
Rick

I will not be surprise if Hiflo makes the filters for several manufacturers

i used hiflo - and still use them, no problems at all. i change the filter and the oil every 2000-2500 miles. i guess everyone's got different opinions, and yes, i used hiflo on different type of bikes
