I use the stainless because of the lack of availability of spare parts where I intend to wander. One less thing to carry on an overloaded machine. tom dunn Detroit

Hi, I recently imported my '97 KLR650 to Spain and I need to change the oil and filter. I am having a hard time finding an aftermarket filter here. Does anyone know where I can find one online that will ship to Spain? Your help will be much appreciated! thanks, awehber.
