oil filter kit for f650 classic

[devo]

Anybody have a good idea on where to get decent oil filters for the classic f650 online at a good price? Bob's and MAX charge about $20 w/shipping for one kit. Thanks.

Cheaper Oil Filters

For those of us that want the original oil filter without the high price :-) .

Bombardier direct

There's more Seadoo/Bombardier dealers near me than BMW ones.
These fit both our Classic engine and the GS/Dakar.
"Bombardier uses the Rotax engine in their SeaDoo line of personal watercraft also. I've been told that Rotax uses the same filter in a variety of different engines. If you have a Bombardier / SeaDoo marine dealer near by, you might want to talk to them. It might help if took in a new filter for your bike as a sample and asked them to eyeball match one from what they have in stock for a SeaDoo. Just tell them it is for a Bombardier/Rotax engine and let them figure it out.

Hint: The first one they should look at is Bombardier Part Number: 711256186" (Harold)

Simply go to your local motorcycle shop and order a filter for a 1996-2002 ATK 605. ATK's use Rotax motors which use the same filter as your BMW and about $4.00 a copy cheaper.

We used to have an F650CS. I had a habit of purchasing several filters in advance, so after we traded our Scarver for an R1200RT, I wound up with a couple extra filter kits. If anyone is interested, three bucks each and a bit to cover the postage and I'll send them to you.

both are in original boxes, but one box has the top torn off for some reason

thanks for the help, but I had checked in first at ff650.com and that info is pretty dated. ATK is out of business and most of those links are dead ends. I'll see what I do with Bombardier.

Get a Stainless Steel filter.

Buy once, never again.
