Oil Filter

[Pat Kelly]

I stopped by my local Kragen (Checker, Schucks) to get an oil filter. I reached to the familiar spot where the Fram CH6002 has been sitting and "GASP".....it's gone!!!
I checked at the counter and was told they (CSK) discontinued carrying that part #.
This is bad news considering I have 3 engines with that filter, another XSive close by that uses it, 2 co-workers that have XSes (midnight special and an 850 special) and I see an XJ in the driveway behind my work (I've been meaning to tell him about this site.
Anyhow, I went to Autozone and bought both their STP SMO-02 filters and will continue hoarding them.
Is it possible that our filter is being phased out? We may have to look for an alterate filter assembly. I remember a thread on the previous site that mentioned someone using a spin-on filter. There was concerns because it stuck down lower that the original and was vulnerable to catastophic damage. I'll try to find it (it was 1 1/2 to 2 years ago).
I'd hate to have my bike become obsolete because of a $4.00 part.

Pat, my local Schuck's quit carrying the CH6002 a few years ago. They can still order them though. I don't think FRAM (Allied Signal) has quit making them. I sure hope not!

I think that filter is used on VMax, Venture, and other bikes as well. Also, I think www.holeshot.com (Dale Walker) still carries them, though he wants $5.95 ea

Let me know when you are ready for more oil filters. If you want Fram I can have Kragen In Oakdale get us some. The manager is a friend of mine. Should be able to get a discount also.

Earl (wholesale mgr.) at Kragen told me that Kragen regional dropped the part number. I worked at Motor Parts Dist. downtown for several years. They are/were one of the largest wholesalers from Lodi to Merced and into the foothills. I think I know every partsman and mechanic in the central valley.

Did you ever find what happened to your newest E model? Whay did it suddenly quit and go blank?

Yep, Was the main fuse holder, took me awhile to find it, I have put in a new fuse block since then.

A whole bunch of Yamahas use that filter, I wouldn't worry about it yet. But the time is coming when $2.00 parts will keep us off these bikes. Search for Oil filter I just posted 4 or 5 numbers. If somebody puts together a list of part numbers I can put up the list someplace, thinking Plugs, Oil Filters, Air filters.

Hey, I'd be happy to find the oil filter for $2.00!

Jc Whitney has the oil and air filters for the xs"s in stock and I have not had a problem at my local dealer yet, just another resource if needed dgy.com I believe is the address and so is jcw.com

Pat,
Mike is correct about other Yamahas using that filter. V-Max and Ventures also use it. Your dealer may not carry it any more but they are definitely still available.
