I've always used only OEM Suzuki filters but just happened to run across this video and thought it was worth posting.
FRAM-The Worst Oil Filter Ever

Wow, that Fram filter was absolute garbage. I use the K&N ones for my Busa and have never had a problem. He doesn’t state what the failures where in the other K&N ones for the vehicles so not sure if it was the same cracking problem.

Hey friends... so I've asked this question numerous times in other forums, FB groups, etc. and have not found any answer. While doing research what oil filter to use on my Gen 1, I came across this website: https://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/FilterStudy.html (It has been referenced more than...

I run fram. When I had my motor last time the engine builder said everything looks great. Idk.
I like oem, but the hiflo brand filters have bigger holes and flow more oil. They usually can be had for about $4 a filter if you buy 10 of them.

i would NEVER EVER run 10K miles on an oil change...… never.... 3 thousand miles on any car I drive and every thousand for motorcycles... my machinery is very important to me.... and better safe than sorry.
I go 10k (kms) with my vehicles which is only 6500 miles and generally 8k (kms) which is 5k miles. Never had any oiling issues and always use full synthetic. I generally keep my bikes for a long time so oiling is important for me as well.
I keep the air filter clean and always change the oil filter when I change the oil.

I work very hard to EARN the money.... Im not gonna try to save 50-100 bucks on an oil change.... I get that some manufacturers claim that a person can go 10-15K miles from oil change to oil change.... but I don't trust synthetic oil that much.... and as far as a motorcycle is concerned.... just think about how hard those lil motors work/ and the revs they see.....
I would think most of us here have worked hard to earn our money and possessions so you are in good company.
I take my cue off my older brother who rides a BMW RT changes his oil when he figures it needs it by checking and smelling it and he uses dino oil only. He has about 180,000 miles on that bike and it has never been apart and never smokes. He also has a '78 RT which has over 500,000 miles on it has never been apart and he did the same with his oil changes.
I have done the same (practically) and have had zero oiling issues on any of my bikes (40+ some odd years of bike ownership).
A turbo bike/vehicle is a little different as they generate more heat and would need tighter intervals.

on a 200 hp bike.... change the damn oil very frequently, espescially if it sees high revs often..... good rule of thumb
Yep, makes perfect sense...

I have only put 1k miles on it...… and its with frank now.... oil change/coolant change/plugs/checkup/Brembo conversion up front.... I don't drag race it/ or land speed race it.... roll racing very occasionally
After spending hundreds In oil analysis on the amsoil signature full synthetic and other full synthetics(not just taking their word that is good for that many miles), I’m more than comfortable running 10K on my accord and mustang. On the busa, oil analysis says 5k miles is the magic number, due to contamination from clutch plate wear. My concours14 says 7500 mile oil changes and there is guys on that forum using rotella t6 at 10k miles intervals for 200k plus miles and their bikes are still going.
