Ah, figured it was a race bike/KTM/etc but thought maybe you were the even more extreme version of @AR15xAR10 and did oil changes on a normal bike every other ride

With filters there is always a tradeoff between high flow and good filtration. You can't have both. So the stainless washable/reusable filters provide great flow but don't filter as well as the standard paper element filters. People who change their oil constantly might want to use a stainless mesh filter. Anyone using their oil longer (full interval), I'd suggest a standard filter. Besides I always thought the flow was determined by the oil pump and the bypass valve pressures, so I always went with the standard filters. One way or another, you'll get oil flow, the only question is if it is filtered or not (bypass).

 

Ya, sorry I should've specified. I am not so strict on a 450. But just for a 250F, I try to be strict, since it is all track time and the bike revs a lot. 450 I go like 2-3 rides and do the oil. And new filter every other oil change, just because the bike isn't really revving like the 250 does.

 

Have anything to back that up? Cause I everything I read said they should be comparable. A standard filter doesn't have a uniform filter media where larger and smaller particles can pass through. Its more of an average micron rate.

Stainless are a uniform rate and don't need to have bypass valves since they are free flowing at start up

 

Opportunity to go ride road America this weekend but I already had other plans. Fuccccck

It would've made more with you on it. Just like mine would with me on it

 

I put 300 miles on the drz today. Speed wobble above 80 so I need to rebalance the front tire.

First time I've ridden it since before last September

 

Jesus Christ, Iron Butt.

My ass is done after about 140

 

Get on my level

 

seat concepts does wonders for your ass

 

Done it with and without before.

 

Picked up a new (to me) bike yesterday. '08 KTM 530 EXC-R. Hadn't been on a dual sport since I sold my XRR a couple years ago. Glad to be back on two wheels

Max

 

Ride my terrain.

Where's the invite? Just put in another 180 today. Fast paced stuff through twisties
