Personally I think the filter upgrade idea is especially sane considering the cheapass filters available for some makes and models. I run the 3.25" Purolator w/ Rotella syn (which is JASO-MA certified, by the way).

Good choice with the filter and oil. Why pay more for lesser quality. Another good oil is the Mobil 1 Delvac. A true synthetic oil but hard to find. The regular Delvac dino oil is sold at Wallmart at around $10/gal.

I agree with you on Rotella, it has zinc, which few oils have, I use it in my F350 and in my Jeep 4.5L 300hp Stroker Motor, but in my Ducati that oil wont work, as for car filters on my bike, in my experiance when a defective "Mazda" Factory Oil filter caused a customers RX7 rotory engine failure, Mazda stood behind their filter and paid for a replacement engine, Purolator may tell you to go pound sand you shouldnt have used a toyota filter on your GSXR, just saying

I hear Extra Virgin Olive oil works well. Can I use that in my bike?
