no heated discussion on whether or not you will be paying 25 bones for a racing oil filter??? whether or not the kevlar belt is actually the right one????

If you wear a kevlar belt will it keep your pants on in a crash?

I'm sure it should... but isn't the racing filter a suppository?

thanks... missed that... the oil filter is http://www.scooterworks.com/Oil_Filter_ ... 57C292.cfm
is my understanding that a "racing" oil filter basically would just be more free flowing???

Or more "red" and more "expensive"?

Just remember, ferrari branded products really arent worth the 3x price tag.

Same for other big names, the black 9.99 oil filter works just as good.

Especially if they spell it "ferarri," like the sweet folding aviator shades I had in junior high school.

My laptop has better hardware than the ferrari laptop, cost 4x less.

A bit off topic, but just saying, sometimes two different brands cost totally different prices, but they work the same in the end.

I had one of those handed down to me due to overheating issues. I did the unthinkable on that little guy... *evil laugh*

What's the matter Lou76? You get left behind last weekend?

Personally, the kevlar belt might be a good deal just because you shouldn't need to replace it as often as the stock belt... the "racing" oil filter however... I would stay away from. There's a reason they flow more, the holes for junk to get through are larger, that means potentially more crap going into the engine.

Oil is for cooling and lubricating, unless you're overheating, there's no need for one. Save a few bucks and just get the standard filter. Let me know how you like the kevlar belt though

Bummer. Tough weekend for flats, Keys at the beginning, you at the end. Did someone have a spare? Or did you need to put it in the support truck?
