Ariene Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 has anyone found a substitute for the 11 42 7673 541 ? I am looking very hard and will report what I find. R27 R65 R1100RSE R1200ST Link to comment
Emoto Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Why do I need a substitute? I can get the BMW filters for just under $10.00 from Hammersleys. Link to comment
RFW Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 has anyone found a substitute for the 11 42 7673 541 ? I am looking very hard and will report what I find. R27 R65 R1100RSE R1200ST Don't bother. This is covered in some detail on the IBMWR site. Bob. Link to comment
WBoyter Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Around here the filter was about 15 bucks. I spent the better part of this past Sat morning on this quest and came up empty-handed. I even visited several different parts stores to 'eye-ball' different filters to get a close match, but didn't find anything satisfactory. If you do find something, please put it up here.

Satguy Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 WHY? While my bike is under warranty, I will always use the BMW oil filter. I really don't want to give BMW any reason to question a warranty claim IF a problem does arise. They are $18 Canadian for the last one I bought, I don't have the time to go looking for cheap alternatives. Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Let's see...change oil every 6k/'bout 6 times per year. Could save maybe $25 every year. Nah, I'll order 12 more from chibmw/no gas used that way. Wonder how much gas I would use trying to save the $25? Link to comment
BFish Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 agree with using the bmw filter. still under warranty and i feel better using it. actually made bmw daytona an offer if i bought half dozen. think i saved a couple bucks. Marty...only time i'll do six oil changes/year is if i own 2-3 motos (or retire--yeah-retire) . still breaking in that gs for me? Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 BF, It will be ready in 3-4 weeks. Link to comment
WBoyter Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Pricing wasn't the issue as greatly as the availability. The last time I checked, neither of the relatively close BMW shops had a filter for the RT. Carrying a spare is great for a long trip, but having a second line resource as a substitute for emergencies is even better. Link to comment
BFish Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 can't believe those shops don't have a filter. all the more reason to order a few. Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Do what I do/order a few at 20% off list. That should solve your problem. Link to comment
