GS650L standard air filter?

[XTlegend]

Hi, just bought a GS650L in need of TLC ! Anyway, it was only after riding it 100 miles home that I discovered that no air filter was installed!! My question is, will a new air filter come the plastic cage support thing (I rang up a supplier and they couldnt say) as this is missing too. I cant see it on the Suzuki microfiche as a separate part so my guess is yes?? Thanks.

it doesn't come with the filter, and it's discontinued from suzuki. I've been looking on Ebay for an air box that still has the cage piece inside and have come up empty so far. Seems a lot of people are missing this part.

But it would still be shown on the microfiche as other discontined parts are no? Crazy if you cant get the cage anymore - will have to go over to pods if this is the case I guess :-(

Check Ebay and the scrap yards or post in the parts wanted section.

Is this true? Last stock oem filter I purchased had a cage on inside, but that was several years ago. I checked with several sources and it appears that the filter is still available.

The filter yes, the cage it slides onto I can't find. I called Z1 and they couldn't help either. I have a wire clothes hanger in there right now. If you've found a filter that comes with the cage please post up! It's a commonly lost part

Yea, the cage is made of unobtanium now unless you hit Ebay, the parts wrecker, or someone here who might have an extra.

I know they don't list a separate part number for the cage, I searched years ago for one to use with my aftermarket Uni. I purchased a stock one awhile ago and it came with cage, so I just figured if filter was still available from Suzuki then it still came with cage. Even when I purchased it, the dealer couldn't confirm it.

My Uni stayed in place without cage, but most likely wasn't properly fitted. Bike ran fine. Not so sure that airbox sealing is critical with 650 G models.

Pods, just for lack of a cage? no thanks. The ebay strippers throw the greasy filter/cage away probably thinking you get one with new filter. Easy to make one out of wire mesh-just a little trial and error! It just has to keep foam filter from collapsing.
