Some years ago I posted a comment here telling the story of how my Genuine Suzuki oil filter had rusted to the extent that it sprang a leak. It was only 6 months old at the time (the filter, not the bike). Well, its happening again. I did an oil and filter change prior to riding the NC500 just about a year ago and as of yesterday the paint has come off some of the oil filter and its rusting.
This time I will replace it before it pops.
Again, it's a genuine part from Suzuki.
So I just wanted to throw this out to the forum and warn about rusting oil filters. If you are using an original Suzuki part you may want to take a quick look and check on its condition. Especially if you are near the coast as I am.
