There is a motorcycle specific Fram model PH6017A for Yamaha FZ1
I guess you have`nt heard Purolator say they don`t recommend the use of these pure one filters in motorcycles,saying that a lot of people use them.Just letting you know in case you never heardI'm all about the PL14610 myself, but have heard great things about the KN204, Bosch 3323 and of course Mobil-1 M1-110. Stick with any of those and you're golden.

I use the K&N 204 also, usually find good prices on eBay.
I believe as the filtration`s finer, motorcycle oil pumps may not be able to handle the extra pressure [effecting oil flow]I have used these filters in a Honda 919 Hornet for 40,000klms with no problems,But as the FZ1 revs higher so I have decided not to use the couple of left over ones I have. I believe they would most likey be fine, but has it is hard to know if the filter slows down the oil flow or not I did`nt want to risk any long term damageDid they say why? If not, do they charge more for the motorcycle specific filter? That could be why they recomend it.
