Oil Filter Part Number

[1000RR]

Just got three of them in the mail... along with my white seat cowl w/hardware kit and lock tumbler kit... still needing the bike though

Oil Filter Part Number = 1142 7 721 779

Short little buggers.

It's the same filter as the K1300S uses, btw.

Cool... I think you may have mentioned that previously too - don't you have a 1300 too? If so, won't be a problem confusing oil filters

Nope, a Buell 1125. It won't be a problem getting the BMW confused with the Rotax filter.

How involved is it to get to the drain plug & oil filter? I do most of my own maintenance. The CBR is a PIA...hate removing the fairings with all those damn plastic tabs! My other scoots are a breeze in comparison. Just wondering....thought some of you may know.

Thanks!

Its pretty easy to remove the filter. You can actually remove it with the fairings on. It may drip oil onto the fairing when you remove it so you will either have to wipe it up or remove the left lower fairing--half a dozen body panel screws. It will drip onto the header pipes though and I don't see a way around that unless you use a few shop towels and just put them on top of the header pipes while you remove the filter and let the oil drip on the rags for a bit till you get the new one in place.

The drain plug is easily accessed under the bike between the two headers. The oil pan kind of has a fin shape that goes down and the drain plug is on the lowest spot.

Here is a picture of the oil filter on my dealer's demo bike I took a couple weeks ago. I shot it thru the lower left fairing. Looks to me like you can get to it fairly easily from here - maybe without having to remove any of the fairing at all.



And here is a shot of the drain plug on my bike, using an ultra-expensive BMW shop tool. The plug itself takes a simple 8mm or 5/16" hex key.



I agree, oil is going to drip on the headers from the oil filter, but a kerosene or gas soaked paper towel will clean it off easy enough.

NOTE: I've got to say, I can read the oil filter part number here just perfectly, and unless 1000RR's number "1142 7 721 779" is a USA replacement for "1142 7673541-01" I'm going to ask for the later number, because that's the same number on my bike as well.

That filter looks like an R1 filter, which is what my MV and mys sons YZF600 take, be curious if it fits as well. If braking it in the moto man way, gonna need a couple filters, first one by the time I get it home...here to weather holding it out for a couple more days....

You will need the 779 filter that is used on the K bikes and now the RR. The 541 kit is for the R bikes that comes with your filter and is sold with the washer for the drain plugs.

I appreciate the response to my question. I usually get oil on my headers. Just spray it with Simple Green, wait a couple of minutes then hose it off. Does a great job......And yeah, that's a short filter!
