K & N Oil Filter P/N KN-154

My dealer sold me a K & N filter (KN-154) for my 2009 TE310. When I looked up the part on the web it says no filters are available for the 09 TE310. This was also confirmed by K & N customer support.

Should I take it back or will it fit (properly)?

What oil filters are you using?

I use hiflo HF 563. Kelly at motosportz has them.

HF 154 was the 2008 filter. Some changes in 2009, hence the HF 563, a few more pleats and designed for a little more pressure in the system.

Yes this is the correct filter. I use it in my 450 and 250. No problems so far.

I'm not sure if your bike and the new 2010 TE 250 takes the same filter but there was a fubar in the part number and the parts warehouse was sitting on 5000 and sending dealers B/O notices.

We were using the Honda CRF250X filter til the release of the stock Husky ones.

HF-154 is actually good for up to 07's. HF-563 is the correct filter for 08-09 on the 250/450/510 bikes. I've been using 154's in my 08 510 with no issues so far after 2K miles although it doesn't mean it's right. I think George at Uptite is the one who brought this to our attention if I remember correctly.

'10 250 4S uses HF-116's, same as CRF150R and apparently CRF250X's. I suspect the HF-563's are good for '10 310/450/510 as well, but haven't verified it with a search. 2010 web info was not available at HF's website last time I looked.

A bit confusing, I know.

So have I been using the wrong filter in my 07 450 and 09 250? (K&N 154)

I use KN154 as introduce by George at Uptite.

No the 07 takes the 154 and the 09 takes the 563.
