Looking for the part number for the KLR 650 oil filter so I can shop,compare prices, etc.

Try reading the FAQ ? http://www.bigcee.com/klr650faq.html Which is the best oil filter? Several brands of paper filters are available, and are cheaper than Kawi filters: Fram #CH6070; EMGO; Wix # 24951; NAPA #4951 (I believe that both the Wix and Napa filters are made by Wix). The Wix and Napa filters come with new O-rings, and the others do not. (If you are ordering from Dennis Kirk, the replacement O-ring is p/n 30-143.) There is also a lifetime stainless steel filter available, which you clean at each oil change. It's a bit pricey, and there is still some debate over which type of filter is better. The SS filter has a consistent filtration level; the paper filters vary from better to worse than the SS. Some people believe that paper filters shed fibers, that wind up clogging the oil strainer screen. However, it is more likely that this is clutch or gasket material. After 25k mi on my bike, there was no fibrous material in the strainer. Strainer screen? What strainer screen? The oil strainer screen prevents large chunks of "stuff" from getting into the oil pump. It is a fingertip-shaped screen, about 3/4" in diameter, with a black rubber gasket at its base. To get to the screen, you must remove the right side cover (clutch cover). The screen is at the bottom, pointing into the engine. People usually find a few chunks of gasket sealer material stuck to the screen. Tada.. More info than you can shake a stick at eh ? Dooden

Fram part number is CH6070 and the NAPA is 4951 I believe. There are more but dont have the numbers handy.

Dooden is correct about Wix making NAPA filters. They don't try to hide it and Wix/NAPA stuff is pretty good. __Arden
