    Hi folks, I'm 62 and just bought a 07 s50, black with 254 miles on it. I'm wondering if there is a car oil filter that will fit this bike. I'm sure a suzuki branded filter will cost way to much. a local discount motorcycle parts dealer has one for $12. Seems way to pricey for a oil filter. just getting back into riding after 40 years. last bike, a suzuki x-6 hustler. thanks for all your help.

    I think I pay that much for my car filter. Of course I buy the Mobil 1 filter...

    62 is a good age to get back in the saddle. Welcome back!
    $12 filter? Why worry?

    Actually I don't know exactly what a filter costs, but usually we pay about 20% more for bike parts down here than you would in the USA
