Anyone have experience with Hi Flo (Filtro) oil filters from Bike Bandit?
Have 2 bikes and 1 scooter (125cc).  Other bike is Kawasaki Ninja 250, as well as the Suzuki GS500.  Recently sold the Ninja.  Added the checkerboard decals to the GS.  They are reflective 3M decals.

Your only moving 3.1 quarts. . why would you need a hi flow oil filter?  Have used them on my car didn't notice a difference except that my wallet left lighter.
Pilot 22.5, Mid 65 , Mains 147.5, Mixture screw 3.5 turns out

Even if the voices aren't real they have some good ideas.

I've gone through 3 oil changes with them...so far, so good.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

I have one in right now.  It is the first time I am using Hi Flo.  The reason I bought it is because it is relatively cheap and it comes with the rubber gasket.  The motor has not seized yet, not that I expect it to, of course.

Cheers,

I think HiFlo is just a marketing trick, to make you want it.
I would take "Hi Filtering" vs HiFlo anyday :).

meh, they're about the same price as the OEM filter.  I don't plan on having to change the o-ring anytime soon; I just clean it off and keep reusing it.  Their air filters are a good deal though - almost half off.
