However, a matter of very serious concern to me when I did my last oil change was the crush washer supplied by the dealer. The dealer was downright evasive when I asked if the washer, that outwardly seemed to be of the correct dimension (14mm), was fitted with an OEM hole. Rather than risk using an aftermarket hole I reinstalled the same crush washer that came with the new bike, some 70000kms ago. I felt that the hole on this washer would be OEM.
This whole hole matter has been an ongoing concern to me and is the reason that I chose an OEM rear rack rather than a Givi or other after market rack. The OEM rack is fitted with Honda holes thus ensuring a secure fit. So in the event of installing any after market accessories my strong recommendation is to insist that Honda holes are supplied with the item.
Cheers

I've changed hundreds of oil filters and never once managed to cross thread one.
I suspect the filter threads were not the Honda pitch and perhaps were for another bike brand.
I seem to remember my Suzuki's had a unique thread pitch.
They do indeed. They just wanted to make sure you get your filters from the authorized Suzuki dealer.
