Great filter; wrench-off nut makes the job 100x easier
Great for Honda CBR600rr since the filter is located behind the headers! Makes it a lot easier to just get a wrench in there to break the seal. **Tip for CBR600rr: Put tin foil around the headers so oil doesn't get on the pipes!** Saves you from a massive clean-up and the burning oil smell the next couple times your ride your bike

Knuckle and sanity saver
The bolt on the head of these filters make oil changes on motorcycles almost painless. The factory units usually require special filter wrenches/adapters and are a pain to get off without removing fairings or scraping knuckles to get into tight places. With the top bolt on these, you just need a socket and ratchet (maybe an extension and flex-joint in a really tight spot) to tackle the job. The OEM filter on my Yamaha FZ6R was put on so tight at the factory that the top of the case buckled before the base twisted. It finally had to be removed by puncturing it with a screwdriver and cranking (ripping) it out in pieces... what a mess. I installed the KN-204 instead of another OEM disaster and have never had a problem since then. I've installed K&N air filters in all of my motorcycles and most of my cars through the past 30 years, and I trust their quality and filtering capabilities. So, I hope that the K&N oil filters are as well-built and reliable. I plan to dissect one of the used filters soon to compare the filter media to the OEM units... I'll try to update my review at a later date with some comparison pictures.

Replacement for Yamaha YZF-R3 Filter
Installed the KN-204 on my Yamaha R3 during its break-in service. Installation was easy and the filter is top-notch in terms of quality. I'll take these K&N filters over the crap dealership filters any day. Oh, and if the price and quality weren't incentive enough, the exposed but makes changing your filter an absolute breeze. My stock Yamaha filter was ABSURDLY tight, I had to crush it with pliers to get enough grip to start wrenching it off. Won't have that problem with the K&N filter, not that I would be silly enough to put it on that right anyways!

Highly recommended Motorcycle filter
For motorcycle filters - great value and with the built in nut for easy removal makes changing the oil filter easy and no need to puncture with a screw driver to get it off. I drive a 2012 Triumph Thunderbird and will continue to buy K&N. I have been using K&N for 13 years on motorcycles. Once you try them, you will be sold. It seems to filter the oil well and keeps engine clean.

My shop uses K&N oil filters exclusively
For the most part, oil filters perform pretty much the same as each other, however, I use to epoxy a nut to the end of oil filters to help easily access installation and removal of oil filters... but K&N oil filters have this built into the design! It may cost a dollar more, but the time saves and the mess is easily worth it! The casing is a but thicker gauge and my customers know K&N (air) filters so it's a item I keep in stock.

I've never had any issues and my bike runs like a charm
I have a CBR600RR with around 7000 miles and have used K&N oil filters since the first oil change. I've never had any issues and my bike runs like a charm. The packaging is nice and the filter comes capped with clear plastic so that debris won't fall into it during transport. You'll want to make sure you remove that before you install it.... It has a nut built into the front of it for easy installation and removal. I love not having to struggle while removing or installing. One thing to remember is not to burn yourself on the exhaust header! Or I guess that's something I need to remember...

Top quality filter for my 2004 Honda aquatrax F12 PWC, this is the one you want!
This was a perfect fit for my 2004 Honda Aquatrax F12. I just did another oil change on the Honda PWC and once again I had trouble getting the old filter off. There's just no space to get a filter wrench in the engine compartment and I can never find the dang wrench anyway. This year I found the K&N with the 17mm nut attached to the top so Problem solved. You can also wire it to the ski to be sure there aren't any leaks spilling oil into the Lake or River and eventually out your water tap. I know from K&Ns great reputation in the racing comunity that I have the absolute best quality filter. I wouldn't trust something as nice as this ski to an inferior brand, I would much rather spend an extra dollar or two on a quality filter than turn my Honda into a very expensive piece of southern "yard art"

Nut on the top is great for removal of the filter once you're taking it ...
Nut on the top is great for removal of the filter once you're taking it off, but that doesn't help those of you who haven't installed one yet I guess. I've always used one of the geometric shaped female filter top devices on a socket to remove my filters, but those required some banging to get on correctly and I was never comfortable having to do so that close to my nicely bronzed head pipes. This solves that problem completely as the socket slides right into a secure fit for quick and easy removal. I can't comment on the quality of the filters other than to say they haven't screwed up my engine to any point I or the dealership can tell. Must be working!

Easy removal
Just what I needed. I use this on a Honda Goldwing. A normal filter is hard to remove because the lack of space around the filter. This puppy is a breeze to remove because of the nut on the top. On the downside, the nut is a 17mm, so it's the only nut of that size on the bike. It would be nice if it was a 19mm to match the existing 19mm hardware on the bike. However, the adjustable wrench in the toolbag is sufficient, so no need to pack another wrench. Still,... just sayin'. I have no way to measure the particulate efficiency of this over another brand's filter, but I change my filters well before the recommended interval. Therefore, this more than meets my needs in an oil filter. The big plus is the built-in nut. Pros: - built-in nut makes for easy removal - black color blends into the belly of the bike Cons: - well, that 17mm sized nut, but...

K&N is insurance for your engine
K&N is considered a premium filter element because of its internal construction is much better quality compared to the generic others. The welded on nut on the end of the filter has been known to leak oil at a weld spot, so be warned. I have gotten into the habit of checking the filter after the first 1-2 days. After that it's good to go. Having had it happen to me personally, I still swear by these filters.
