I'm not a filter pro, but I like to stay with the stock offering to keep things simple. The stock Yamaha filters from Stadium Yamaha are $8.86 - 10% promo they are running, for about $7.95/filter plus shipping.
Jaxon (RideonADV) has a thread on this in the Vendor section.

I just installed the Baldwin B1400. I sell these at my work, so I can buy these at cost. I would surely use a Baldwin over the EBAY one listed above.

Last OEM fileter I purchased was just over $12.00. I'll be shopping for some others. I am following the "every other" oil filter replacement as it relates to oil changes, so the cost is not attrocious, but it's annoying to pay a premium when you know you can get the same or better quality for less. ::26:: ::003::

I bought a case of 10 OEM Yamaha oil filters from enl-sales on ebay last year for $54.00.

Doesn't the 'every other' refer to the oil, not the filter? As in change the oil at every other filter change? Oil will do 10-15k easy these days, the filter will, but it's nice to know it's got a lot of cleaning left in it.

 

[Koinz]

Sorry for the confusion, I would change the oil and leave the filter till the second oil change. 2 oil changes to 1 filter change per the owners manual.

 

[Don in Lodi]

Wow, wouldn't have expected that. Thanks.

What JEFF said...the Purolator 14612 or 14610 is yellow and is the best low dollar bang for your buck.

I get mine from a advanced Auto...

Just as an FYI... But worth remembering...

Bosch *OWNS* Purolator, and neither has their filters made by Champion Labs - at least not since 2006.

http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2006/02/23/211511.html

And both use "Filtech" synthetic media, as least partially, in all their filters, so buying a Bosch is essentially like getting a Purolator... Only usually the Bosch filters are a little less expensive, and they're black. Only real problem with the Bosch 3300 is that it is about 8mm longer than the stock OEM Yamaha filter, despite being listed as a direct replacement. For some this isn't an issue, but it is with some skid plates.

There's a guy who has two pretty well-researched pages, one on oil for motorcycles, one for oil filters. He's a V-Strom guy, so that's obviously his focus, but he rates hands down the 14610 as the best filter made for motorcycles right now. Here's the page:

$28 for OEM oil and filter every 5K miles for me. Hell, I spent $1500.00 for bags and a top case, so I'm not going to even stop and think about the cost of an oil filter. It amazes me how anyone can spend $1000 on a week long trip and ponder a $4 difference in the cost of a filter. JMHO.

 

[snakebitten]

It's even worse for me. I bought a service contract. 3 years unlimited mileage. (Suckers lol)

I don't know how much an oil change cost. Or a FD fluid change. Or a TBS. Or a valve check, spoke check, steering stem lube, swing arm............

I drink coffee. Chat with the kids in parts, the finance guy, the sales staff, and Yamaha customers.

Pampered, is the word that best describes the feeling.

I've enjoyed it immensely. Don't need no BMW to get that feeling.

That dealer will never make the same mistake again! They will see you coming and lock the door!

Wow Snake! What an awesome deal! Next time I'm looking for a bike, I will definitely keep an eye out for that - places around here have prepaid contracts with xx number of services, but nothing with unlimited mileage. Combine that with the full 5 year YES, and you're golden.
