Yamaha Url Filter

[Bill Lumberg]

Can anyone tell me whether yamaha's 4GH-13440-50-00 and 4GH-13440-20-00 are interchangeable, and applicable to a 2014 FJR? I read one source that said the 20 series superceded the 50 series, but wanted to make sure, as most guides refer to the 50 series. If both fit, I don't really care which I buy.

the last time I picked up filters my dealer said they were interchangeable

The 2014 parts diagram shows 5GH-13440-50-00 for the oil filter.

Both parts will work. The 50 series supercedes the 20 series and is the current OEM part for the '14 fjr. This info comes from a parts manager for a reliable Yamaha dealer

Thanks all.

I have a half dozen oil filters left over from my 2005 FJR. I'm repurposing them on the 2014. Any reason for concern?

Nope, I used up all my old longer filters on the gen 3 and it didn't blow up.

Hey...That's funny right there!

I just ran into the same thing with the 50 series filter. When i got home i looked at the filter box and the FJR wasn't listed. I was "WTF" and called the parts guy and he said that was the filter for the FJR now. (I have a 2006 and my buddy has a 2007 and that's the filter for those years as well)....

I saw the thread title and was wondering how Yamaha would be filtering their web address, and why....

I forgot to mention that the "new" filter for the FJR's is also smaller (about a 1/2' shorter than the original) which added to the confusion of not having the "right" filter when I went to do my oil change. I hope it has the same filtration capacity, performance etc and it's not Yamaha just cheaping out consolidating all the different models under fewer filters perhaps compromising protection? Again they didn't even bother to list the FJR on the side of the 50 series filter box as one the models it's rated for....

Yeah, I'll take that bet. I'm thinking that is exactly what they have done. Just like when they change the recommended oil viscosity for the same exact engines because they no longer market a 20W40 oil.

I'll admit to a little confusion myself

Oh the confusion, my head hurts. Is it Friday already? I used a HiFlo Filtro HF148 on the 2005 FJR. It's perfectly compatible with the Emgo 10-82230, which was perfectly happy replacing the YAMAHA 5JW-13440-00-00.

HOWEVER, the HF-148 is now not compatible with 5GH-13440-20-0, or the newest part number 5GH-13440-50.0.

Foucque it...I'm sticking a cork into the oil filter hole and I'll just change oil every 500 miles, yea, that's the ticket! NEPRT...I'm on my way...

If it was good enough for a GEN1, it's good enough for em all. Same freaking engine with some cool, hi-tech tweaks.
