[QUOTE="Mindfogg, post: 1455390, member: 89878"] I had a 2003 FZ1 and never had problems with oil filters. The kid got a new 2009 FZ6 in 2010. I took both bikes to the local Yamaha dealership to have the oil and filters changed before we rode out to Yellowstone. My FZ1 oil light came on numerous times on the ride and the oil level was always good. When changing oil again when we got back home I noticed the oil filter the dealership put on the FZ1 was the same filter as the FZ6. I put the longer filter on I had and no more issues. 2011 I had the same dealership change oil in the bike again before a trip to the races at Road America, same thing. Oil light came on numerous times. Got back home and saw they put the short oil filter on again as that what Yamaha supercede the old part number with. Changed the filter to the original longer one after the races and never had the issues again. I'm not an oilfilterologist but the original longer filters for my FZ1 gave no problems. The shorter ones consistently made the oil light illuminate. After T-boneing a deer in 2016 and 5 months in the hospital and nursing home I got a good geal on a Gen 1 FJR to replace the FZ1. No issues with the FJR but I've stocked up on the original sized oil filters. [/QUOTE]
