what oil filters do you guys run? and air filter grease

[SRH]

i dont have a y amaha dealer within 30 min of me so i was wondering if there was any aftermarket oil filters equally as good or better than stock, i heard of some filters have problems with the glue breaking down and what not i really do not want that, in my 400ex i ran a brand call hi flo filtoro or something they were suppose to be the supplier for honda and stuff....i dont want a stainless steel filter, and i change my filter every other week and my oil each week, usually 2 hrs of ride time


and i switched over to uni filters , i greased my stock one where it mates to the airbox but i didnt grease my uni because it looked like the stock filter got chewed up by the wheel bearing grease after sitting all winter, in the owners manual it says use a lithium soap based grease.....wtf is that lol and do most of you guys grease your foam filters...if so what grease do you use?

I think somebody makes a stainless steel oil filter..you just clean it off with gas i think and reuse it, its like 70 bucks but it pays for itself after about 7 oil changes...but i do use the yamaha paper ones myself, but i also do work at a dealer lol

and for hte grease...i just sprayed filter oil around the filter there..its sticky enough id imagine, and shouldnt hurt the filter.

id rather just change the filters than go with stainless loooking for a stock style replacement t hat is better or equal

I guess just stock up next time your at the dealer? or try ordering online.

In my 450 I run a KN-141 oil filter,as far as an air filter I run a Uni filter and grease it with the Yamaha multi purpose grease.

I buy my filters on Ebay, I get four for less than the price for two at the local yami dealer. I change the oil after every race weekend and the filter after every two races.
