What would be the recomended air and oil filter brand/part #. I am looking for a stock replacement air filter at this time.

Hey Crew,

Here's a list of brands and oil filter's that will work:

autozone SP2

Napa 4933

STP: SMO-2

Wix 24933

Fram CH6002

**Make sure it has BOTH rubber O-rings in the kit, one for the chamber, the small one for the filter bolt!**

OEM Air filter, not sure if it's available from Yamaha still, you can get K&N style by Unifilter from JCW, and probably other sources.

What about something from Fram or Wix that will replace the stock filter. Thats all I meant just don't want a k/n or foam style.

(just my opinon here)....
K&N for the air filter is the way to go. Recommended cleaning interval is 50-100,000 miles. Never needs to be replaced.
Buy one and your set for the life of the bike, no further costs, no need to open the airbox.

If you take your OEM one to Walmart or Autozone and match one up to some auto one, then please post here for everyone! It's a very unique shape and size, I got rid of mine years ago, so I didn't try to match one up!

Pat, how can the actual K&N filter stay clean enough to work for 50-100K miles? The dust plus the oil vapors from the crank vent hose I would think cause them to get coated and clogged just like OEM?

K&N air filters do last the life of the bike but still need periodic cleaning. Do not use compressed air on K&N air filters. Wash with low pressure, (Garden hose) do not dry with heat. This is information from the "Two Guys Garage" cable TV car show. FWIW?
Cheers, 50gary

K&N

I use a leaf blower to dry the K&N filter,Works good!!! I also use the leaf blower to dry the bike after I wash it to keep from getting water spots. Yeah leaf blower!!!!!!
