K&N Motorcycle Oil Filter: High Performance, Premium, Designed to be used with Synthetic or Conventional Oils, Wrench Off Nut: Fits Select BMW Motorcycles, KN-164

The K&N oil filter is heads and tails above the OEM filter for BMW motorcycles and eliminates the removal problems associated with the BMW OEM filters. The K&N filter can be easily removed and installed with simple tools anywhere including DIY changes on the road. BMW R1200 series hexhead, oilhead and camhead bikes have a recessed oil filter and narrow space around it. The OEM filter has an unusual wrench end shape that makes it difficult to remove without a special wrench. To make matters more complicated, most non-BMW shops do not have this wrench which makes it difficult for service on long trips on the road. I swear by the K&N filter and have them on all of my bikes.

These are my go-to filters for a 2009 BMW F800ST. This means they also fit the F800 and F800R. K&N makes quality filters, but my favorite part is the hex nut on the end that makes removal a breeze. Oh, and they're cheaper than OEM!

Perfect. I don’t understand why other manufacturers haven’t caught on the nut concept.

It's hard to go wrong with a K&N. This one has a convenient nut on the top for easy removal and installation.

Fits my 2016 BMW C650GT. Zero leaks and the engine runs happier. Do NOT use a wrench to tighten the filter when installing as the nut is only for taking it off. Hand-tighten only.

we really don’t know how well our oil filters work until it’s time to buy a new engine no new engine needed yet!

Is what it says it is

All's well with my install on a '19 K1600 GA. I'm not sure if the body of the filter is taller than the Mahle/BMW original, probably isn't, but the top of the hex sure is. On my bike it's about 3/16" inboard of the shifter arm once installed. I'm not worried, will buy the same part again next year. The only challenge doing your own K1600 oil change is finding that silly upper/internal drain that's inside the hole of the main drain plug, if you haven't done it before, find one of the YouTube videos. My only real beef is that this baby cost about double the Mahle. All the best!

Fácil de quitar y poner. Su calidad ya la Conocemos.

Fait parfaitement le job

Buen producto y que facilita mucho su instalación con la tuerca que incorpora arriba.

I really like the nut on the bottom of the filter it makes the installation and removal a breeze on my BMW motorcycle. The old filter without the nut on the bottom was a nightmare to get off. I bought a second filter for the next oil change. It’s also a big plus to get a premium quality oil filter for such a good price. Locally sourced the filter would have been twice the price I paid on Amazon.

Great budget filter for my BMW R 1200 RT. Fitting tool is just great with spanner fitment.
