FWIW, Check out Hi-Flo/Filtro filters. They are the same inside as a K&N, only without the stamped metal 17mm "nut" on the end of the canister and they are less expensive. I worked at a bike shop on my off days for 14 years and we never had an issue with either one.

Made me really happy when i realized that one. I had a new filter that i had purchased for my FZ6R and I thoght what the heck...and it fit perfectly. yay to not wasting money.
Making me miss my 6R, its a fun bike without all the terror of the 09. I had to try very hard to wheelie it or hit the throttle too hard. I'm not complaining just reminiscing.

Same here, I traded my 6r for the fz9 but my fz6r will always be remember, great bike overall: Body position, engine power, forgiveness etc.
I have a bunch of K&N 204 from my 6r that will keep using on the 9ner.
I know that Citgo bottles up Yamalube for the US market (if not more), and I've heard that HiFloFiltro makes the Yamaha oil filters. HiFiltro also makes K&N filters (the nut on the end and the packaging/price are the differences). I guess with the nut you would need just a 17mm wrench for the oil plug and the filter - but I don't think that much convenience is worth $2 a pop. I'm going to cut open my used Yamaha filter and compare it to a HiFiltro...
Denso - with paper end caps and pleats running the other way? Eek! I need to cut my used one open and look at it. I paid $11 for a Yamaha filter to do my first oil change. I just bought 3 HiFlo HF204's delivered for $7.85 each (no tax) to do my next 3. I wish HiFlo's used a coil spring instead of their flat spring (I don't know why I wish that) - but other than that I like that the end pleats are connected by a crimped piece of metal (not glued), and they have metal endcaps.

not sure about the paper end caps, but the pleats look like what we're used to (iirc....i'll confirm later tonight). you might be thinking of an older denso design that yamaha used to use.
Was wondering if anyone here has the owner's manual pdf? Also noticing a slight whine/whirring noise at low rpms mostly in 3rd gear from 4k-6k rpms, is this normal? Any other advice or tips on for the bike or for good upgrades to get?
Hey guys I was wondering if I get some help. I just bought a 2015 fz 09 and everything was working fine I drove it a few kMs then parked it. I fired it up a few days later everything fine. Next time I go to start it a few days later it fired up then died. Following it had to crank a few times...
So I did my integrated headlight so now I'm trying to figure out the tail light. The factory one is huge and ugly and I don't care much for the aftermarket ones. Most just don't fit the bike in my opinion.
So here's my ideal...
Layered Plexi, from top down
1/8 black
3/8 for brake light
2 x 1/2...
