Thanks for sharing
Think I will continue with factory oil filter.

I wonder how many complaints they got before instituting the recall. I remember a few scary stories on here.

It's about time.

I couldn't help noticing that you really can't find info about the recall on their website unless you are specifically searching for "recall".

My friend recently had a really bad experience with this K&N oil filter. Oil leaked at the nut while he was riding at 80km/h at 11pm. God save him, he managed to stop without hitting ground and have reached some contacts he known to get help with new filter and oil.

Cheers to all and trouble free riding with OEM/HONDA parts
