I use them on my bike and I got about 6 other buddies that use them as well. They have a good anti drain valve set up.

I've always been under the impression that Wix is a fleet filter...I do not/have not used them.

I used them on my drag cars, but I have never used one on a bike. Im sure the quality is probly the same.

I run one on mine, my recently ex has run them on hers (only because i work on it and i put that in) and numerous other people around here run them on bikes. Never had a problem with one yet and ive been using only them for 3-4 years

The valve helps when starting, it keeps the filtered oil from draining back into the pan so on start up you have already clean oil ready to go. Also if you take say a fram (.........shitties filter you can buy) and cut it apart, and take a wix and cut them apart. The amount of filter media in a wix is far superior to most filters meaning it filters out a lot more particles. You can also feel a weight difference in them.

yeah I would never put anything made by fram on any of my vehicles. I might have to go get me a wix filter, the one thats on my bike now is a FiFlow, Im guessin some generic filter?

Yeah i guess I am just going to use a wix filter. They are probably at least as good as the OE suzuki filters
