Motorcycle Filters

[alans1100]

With an upcoming oil/filter change I went looking for suitable filters and found RYCO's 2014 Motorcycle Catalogue.

They do make a filter for both STs. RMZ119 but whether any retailer stocks it is another matter. Some have used Z436 and I have used Z411 (same diameter but different height). They also cross reference a few HF filters that might be suitable as well.

Ryco have also released a filter app for both Android and Apple http://www.rycofilters.com.au/app

I use the Repco ROF135, seems to work well. (Z436 equivalent)

I normally get my oil from Repco so I might check them out next time we go to Port Pirie. The last filter I bought was from E-bay and cost about $8.00

Have you done a price comparison?  Here in Brisbane Repco is about the dearest retailer for everything.

Not yet for filters but the oil (Castrol 4T) was cheaper at Repco than Supercheap in Port Pirie the last time. We also have Autopro but they're not the easiest to get to. Supercheap is fine but the nearest store price is more than the online price.

I'll check both stores when we go over next time.

The filter I bought last time is made in the US (if info on filter is correct) and sold by a Chinese E-bay store.

Hmm...  The Chinese would pull that old Japanese stunt "Made in USA", USA being code for some backyard in Yokohama, would they?

Bought a ROF135 today from Repco for $9.99 (it also fits my CFMoto 500 quad bike).

That was priced at $9 at the Port Pirie Repco store so I'll get that one since I usually get the oil (Castrol active 4T) from there when needed.
