Re: Re: Oil Filter

The same filter (PN 5GH-13440-00) fits 2000 thru 2004 R1's (as well as many other Yamaha models).

So, the dealer gave me a filter (part #: 3FV-13440-10) for my 2001. It says on the side of the carton "YZF-R1 '98-'99", among others (but no mention of '00-'01), is this is the wrong filter??

Any help would be greatly appreciated, it's the middle of the night and I was in the midst of changing the oil when I noticed this. Otherwise I'll have to wait a few days to finish.

Thanks in advance.

your 2001 takes a 5GH. Is the filter he gave you a yamaha brand or an off brand with a different part number?

Thanks for the quick response. It's a Yamaha Genuine filter, with the part number I mentioned before. Are you saying that a 98-99 should have a 5GH too?

SteelR1, thanks for the info. I looked everywhere for the part number - Haynes guide, yamaha .pdf guide, checked the old filter (different brand), nothing.

Anyway, I guess I'm done for the night, back to the dealers in the morning.

Up here in Canada, Yamaha is using the 3FV filter only. They say the 5GH has been discontinued. No rationale given but I started a thread on this subject under Mechanical help if you want to search for it for more details.

I just got back from the dealers and found out the same thing. I was gonna update this thread but you've beat me to it, Thanks.
