Re: [ST] suggestions for a recalictrant oil filter?

["Kyle Clarke" <kylekc03@xxxxxxxxx>]

I got a K&N filter for my new-to-me 01 gixxer ... which is what it had
before... next time I'll look for one for the Sprint too. Wonder if that
feature's patented because it's such a practical feature but I haven't run
into it anywhere else. Did not have any removal problems at all with the K&N
filter on the gixxer. How's K&N's reputation for oil filters? I assume/hope
it's good.
