Oil filters

[VNA]

Hiflo are TUV approved and will perform to the same standard as OE, but they're of a lesser quality i.e. the paint is thinner and the steel is lower grade, therefore they rust much quicker, they can also be pigs to get off at times.

HIflo, according to their web site have been making OEM filters since 1963.  I've been using em for quite a few years now, it seems to be to be the same quality as the Yamaha marked product.

Should be torqued to 17NM.  Use one of these to fit then remove;

personally I go OE with Silkolene Comp 4. 

Hiflo and super4 for me. Comp 4 is fully synth, OTT I'd say for road use, and if you must make sure you have some miles on the bike before you start filling it with fully synth as can polish bores which leads to a bike that burns oil.
