Aftermarket oil filter for the TTSE

[rpeters549]

For those who either choose to use them or do not have a dealer nearby, there is a direct cross oil filter available through NAPA if you do not want to use the K&N 204.  It is:

NAPA Gold 101000

The filter may have SL10000 printed on it

These are manufactured by WIX, which are very high quality oil filters.

Mine today cost me $11.79 out the door for comparison.

good to know there are options. I generally but 2-4 filters at a time so I don't need to worry if I want to do a last minute oil change before I spontaneously decide to head out of town on a long trip

I have a hard time wanting to leave ANY motor oil in a bike for 10k miles so will probably do a change every 5-6k.  My closest dealer is well over 100 miles away...
Nice to be able to do it when I want to with locally purchased supplies.  Filter from NAPA, AMSOIL MC oil from Brooks...

Other filters that cross reference and are good quality:

Mobil-1 M1-108 or M1-110
Bosch 3300 or 3323
Purolator PL14612 or 14610. (Not the ML-series filters but the PL, PBL etc.)

Used to be a Wal-Mart SuperTech filter that was decent and $2, but last time I went looking for one they appeared to be gone... The Purolators are what I use - run in the $6-7 range and much high quality than the Fram-type OEM filters.

That is good to know I have 3 of the 6017A filters that fit my Tiger 1050 left over.
I have been getting my oil filters from the dealer for around $10 U.S. I change the oil every 5000 miles.
Cheap insurance my Trophy seems to want to go at lease a little over the speed limit almost every ride.

Purolator has an issue with their filter media tearing for the past several years.  It might be worth while to cut one open and take a look after you take t off.

Problems were apparently with the standard filters - the PureOne filters don't seem to have this issue. There's a few others using the same media - Champion and Hastings, mainly - so I stick to those, generally the Bosch or Mobil1 (Champion-made).
