so do you think that my dealer would have them in stock. they usually have a lot of stuff in stock.

I would bet money on it ;) Can always give them a ring and ask if you don't feel like taking the risk in driving up there, and the parts department should be able to check for you quick. I would be surprised if they did not

Don't forget to buy an "O" ring seal for the cover...we found out you need to replace that every other oil change...so grab a couple just to be safe...the seal has a tendency to leak after a couple of oil changes... :blink:

a k&n oil filter doesnt have any more flow. were not talkin about air filters. the only thing great about them is they are reusable. when you change your oil take em out and spray em off with parts cleaner and you have a new filter. its just easier to go to your suzuki dealer and buy like 10 oil filters at a shot and have them on hand.

Using a cleanable oil filters is a bad idea, you CAN NEVER totally get them 100% clean plus, they are metal fabric filters - the holes are larger than any replacable paper filter. They don't filter as well, and they collect tiny pieces of metal shavings and other debris that you don't see. Don' use them, use the stock Genuine Suzuki paper filters.

Not sure, but i read somewhere above the z400 oil filter will work for LTR. If this is true then i'll just use them.
