Wayne, I installed an Emgo filter on a V65 Sabre a few years ago. This is a
V-4, 1100 cc engine made by Honda. After a couple of weeks, I was on the
interstate doing about 70 mph when the filter split wide open dumping all
the oil on the exhaust pipes ... made a really cool fireball under the bike!
This was a spin on filter much like a car uses and like you, I bought it
when they were out of my usual brand. After getting towed to safety, I
installed a Fram and added about 150,000 trouble free miles to that bike.
Now, I've never heard of any trouble from Emgos but I'll never take the
chance again.

Wayne,
I picked up an Emgo filter from a Kawi dealer when I decided to
change my oil mid-vacation. After 4000k's, I didn't have any
specific problems with the filter. I usually use Fram or the Kawi
filter, but this one worked in a pinch.
Cheers,
D.

noises driving me nuts

KORG,
When i got my first KLR, i said to a friend who also rides KLR's,..
Why does this thing sound like a can o' bolts gittin shook hard?
He said to me, When ya give it gas does it still go?
I said yea...he said...and your prob is?!?!...lol
i wonder how many of these bad noises can be attributed to ppl riding
"smooth" bikes, and then riding a KLR. Compared to most other bikes(i do
werk at a dealer) even my new(2001) KLR rattles,bangs,pings,
shakes,vibrates, etc.
my hopefully humorous 2 in the fray
