I was at the dealer's today and decided to pick up an oil filter for my V7III Racer stock inventory. I always like to have at least one oil filter in stock.
Anyway, the part number listed in the dealer's parts book was 2A.00.06.33.
The type code on the top of the oil filter itself is UF12553101.
The interesting thing is that there's another filter which is almost identical, part number 27.15.30.85, which for all intents and purposes looks and measures to be identical. The type code on this one differs by two digits ... the last "01" is missing: UF125531.
The parts man said that sometimes they do a first service and a filter with "the other" type code comes out of a from-the-factory bike.
So what exactly is the difference between the two filters?
