Keeping in mind there are 2 different Yamaha OEM filters. There was much gnashing of teeth and boo-hooing at the time of the change from factory supplied long (like the HF148, M1-110, etc.) to the short (HF204, M1-108, etc.). Then the panic kicked in and rather be sensible about it everything was lined out as "unsuitable". I still use any of the 4 I listed above, I just look in the box before purchasing to make sure it's still an innie.This is a replacement for the Yamaha filter on Amazon $9.19 with free shipping for Prime members. Same size as the older larger filter.
Hiflofiltro HF 148 replaces FJR OEM filter.
Did that by accident on my Honda NC700x. Gasket stayed on when removed old filter and did not notice it. Didn't leak at first start up but revved if a few times, heard a pop, oil all over.It's no secret that leaking oil filters have been a problem for years on this forum.
Hmm: here's a dumb question...
Anybody ever consider slapping a used oil filter gasket on the leaking filter? Seems to me that this would take up the clearance, stop the leak and fix the problem. Free, simple, and quick???
Same thing happened on my cage. Not going to do that again.Did that by accident on my Honda NC700x. Gasket stayed on when removed old filter and did not notice it.

Never done it on a vehicle but saw the results one time on a 250 hp air compressor. Same spin-on type filter, only bigger, maintenance guy left the old filter gasket on. I recall it seemed like it took microseconds to puke out 15 gallons of oil.Same thing happened on my cage. Not going to do that again.Did that by accident on my Honda NC700x.
