oil filter

[Guest]

Searched the forum and supplier websites but can't get a definitive answer. I have an extra oil filter from my '83 GS1100G that I was going to use on my '83 GS1100ES when changing it's oil. I'm pretty sure they both take the same filter (Suzuki part # 16510-45040) but sites I've checked don't specify.
thanks

Yeah, they use the same oil filter. Almost every GS uses that filter. There are a couple that don't, but it's pretty universal for Suzukis from that era.

A great resource for cross checking such things is the Dennis Kirk catalog. You can call them and order a catalog, and cross check all the maintenance parts like plugs, filters, tires, etc...

Hi Mr. lurch12_2000,

Here is an excerpt from my oil change guide on my little BikeCliff website:

The oil filter itself is common to a lot of Suzuki bikes, from the GS425 on up to the GS1100. Again there are many opinions as to which filter to use and many opinions as to quality; Fram (CH6001), Purolator (ML16800), Napa/Wix (24931), HiFlo Filtro (HF133), K&N (KH133), STP (rebranded Fram), EMGO (10-29800), Suzuki (16510-45040), etc. Personally, I've been buying HIFLO filters from Bike Bandit 5 at a time ($3.45 ea). They include the O-rings. I have no affiliation with Bike Bandit other than I'm a satisfied customer. I feel the same way about filters as I do oil, change it often enough (I change my filter at every oil change) and just about any one will get the job done. If you tend to abuse your oil and go longer between changes, then you may wish to buy the more expensive, higher quality oils and filters.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

As Clif posted fram CH6001 also the CH6000 are the same filters with different O rings

Yup -- most GS models use the three-lobed o-ring, but some (the 1100E and 1150E, I think) use a four-lobed o-ring. The filter itself is the same.

This site uses Suzuki part numbers.

This site uses Suzuki part numbers.

thanks chef for this website.

both '83 G and ES list the same oil filter

but a different o-ring for each(as bwringer and sqdancer said).

You guys are pretty smart! I don't care what others say about you!!

Just FYI, The HiFlo filters I get from BikeBandit come with both types of O-rings.

Thank you for your indulgence,

I figured its better to bring this thread back instead of making a new one.

Basscliff - All of those sites list the filter and then the o-ring under different part numbers. Does BikeBandit just throw an o-ring in when you buy a filter anyways?
