Amsoil--reason being is that I had a Harley Road King that, in the summer, ran about 228 degrees. I put the Amsoil in and it never got above 207. Same conditions and riding.

Good one, I think they were designed to push more heat on to the rider though.

Just bought Mobil 1 motorcycle oil for 7.99 per quart - bought to 2 cases - stuff is hard to find. And also got filters from the Kawasaki dealer at $11 each - seem better built inside than the PureONe - any opinions on the filters here?????

Did you cut both open? I run the Pure One's or Mobil 1's on my automobile's but only OEM's on the bikes................I was curious about the Pure One's on the bikes..............

I used to be a die hard OEM filter guy.
I have used Pure1 exclusively in all my vehicles for the last two years.
Read this and decide for yourself which is better. It's an unbiased, non-profit article:
http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Filters.html#OilFilters
If you decide as I did, the Pure One PL14610 (3 1/4") and PL14612 (2 3/4") fit the zx-12r as well as the R1 and a number of other bikes. My guess is the PL14612 would be the filter for the zx-14.
Edit: Forgot to mention - I have my oil analyzed once a year to make sure everything is happy down below. It's $25 well spent after your motor is broken in.

I've been using the Pureone filters too in all of my trucks, vans, cars - and I like the results, and I have slowly switched to synthetics in my vehicles too - the engines seem to run quieter, less valve noise, and they run cooler too. When I use the 3 OEM filters, I will try the pure1 in my bikes - but might try after the 1st one because I do have a few 610's and 612's in my garage - I always keep spares of everything around.
