Kawi has made pretty much everything take the same filter now, for how far back I am not sure.
But for example my ZX9 2003 takes the same filter as the ZX14. So if you find there is no listing for a ZX14, look up a ZX9!!

Fram ...............PH6607
Mobil 1 ...........M1-108
AC ...................PF1237
STP ................S6607
Motorcraft ......FL816
And my personal favorite and the one I use Walmart Supertech ......ST6607 for just over $2.
Don't go giving me grief over my choice of filter. I have 19K miles and no problems.

Keep to the Original Equipment Manufacturer's oil filter. If you ever have a warranty claim for engine problems that is the first question they will ask.

The Mfg cannot deny warranty because of aftermarket filter or oil. Its the law, to do this they would have to provide at no cost factory filters and service. And by the way Kaw doesnt make filters or oil. what they sell is rebranded. Thats like saying that you cant change your own oil but must have an authorized dealer do it. If you do the research there are a few great filters out there including the Super Tech mentioned above. Fram and Amzoil are poor choices for filters. There have been failures in both where the filter media desentigrated. I know personally of these two. A friend that is a diehard Amzoil fan had two fail on his Honda Valkyrie, he no longer uses their filters. I personally had a Fram fail on a Taurus SHO. They would like you to believe you must use factory branded because it is high profit, but it just isnt true.....TB

Magnuson Moss Act
Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act, a vehicle manufacturer may not make its vehicle warranty conditional on the use of any brand of security system unless the manufacturer provides the system free of charge or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has specifically published that only the vehicle manufacturer's product may be used. To challenge a false claim, ask the person to put it in writing, or request the vehicle manufacturer's security system free of charge. If you are charged for the security system, or they refuse to give you a written statement, there may be a violation of Federal law.
This is the actual language of the act:
No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of such product on the consumer's using, in connection with such product, any article or service (other than article or service provided without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by brand, trade, or corporate name; except that the prohibition of this sub-section may be waived by the Commission if
the warrantor satisfies the Commission that the warranted product will function properly only if the article or service so identified is used in connection with the warranted product, and
the Commission finds that such a waiver is in the public interest.
The district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction of any action brought by the Attorney General (in his capacity as such), or by the Commission by any of its attorneys designated by it for such purpose, to restrain (A) any warrantor from making a deceptive warranty with respect to a consumer product, or (B) any person from failing to comply with any requirement imposed on such person or pursuant to this chapter or from violating any prohibition contained in this chapter.
