I have found the following link useful for info on Oil Filters. It's a bummer that we cannot use an auto filter (cheaper and better). The Purolator one fits a Honda, go -figure!!

Hope this is useful to you guys, if you have already seen it or refer to it, then ignore this post!

There is always this option.

Has anyone here had any experience with the early GS models? 80-83 specifically.

Had a new 1980 GS 1100 and a new 1983 GS1100ES but was still running the drag bike with dealers name on side plates.He sold me parts at cost and tuned the drag bike.So I used stock ones but a friend with a 1100 shaft had the little screw in deal.Do not recall any bad things so guess ok?
I still use car filters and oil in my Harley and RoadStars.Rotella 15 40 in the V Strom also.

trying to find out if there is any way to change my GS1100GK to a spin on filter.

Yes have been on the site and am seriously considering purchasing an adapter (actually 2) for my bike and my wife's.

There is a lot of information about oil filters on the net. Seems the ones for the VS1400 are of only mediocre quality. EMGO 55660 is considered to be a good replacement for original Suzuki filter, which is made by Japanese co.

OK, the Suzuki VS1400 oil filters are set for 11 PSI by-pass, the ones for Honda (e.g. VTX 1300 are set for 14 psi by-pass). The same oil filter used on the VTX1300 can (with adapter mod) be used on the VS1400 (e.g. Purolator Pure One PL14612, about $6.). Which is higher quality than any of the Suzuki ones.

Would this be harmful to the VS1400?
