Oil filters for a '95 B include: Fram 6017A, WIX 51358, Luber Finer PH7015. I have used all of these successfully. Oil capacity is 3.5 LITERS. Working on a copy of my maintenance schedule from manual for you. Should be pretty close for what you need.

Can't get the ignorant scanner to work!!
Valve clearance "check" at: 800km, 10,000km, 20,000km, 30,000km

Recommended tire pressure rear 180/55/ZR17 (Dunlop) 41psi cold
front 120/70/ZR17 (Dunlop) 36psi cold

Thanks Jeff.

Stay away from the Fram filters though. Trying to remember the filter article now. I just remember that Fram sucked but Wix did a good job (if I remember correctly that is. lol)

You do, indeed. I don't care for Fram myself, either. The part# info was on my "maintenance clipboard" for the bike, and since Fram stuff is widely available at discount stores, thought it might be good to have on hand.
Luber Finer makes quite a few different filter brands. They come from Luber, though.
My personal preference is WIX.

There are a few "oil filter reviews" on the web. I make no claims about anything they have to say; just passing along the links:

http://www.calsci.com/motorcycleinfo/FilterStudy.html

http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilters/index.html (same guy; auto filters)

http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oil.../opinions.html (same guy; actual recommendations)

Add a Baldwin B1400 oil filter to that list. Those links got me doing a bit of research. The Baldwin filters may be a "sleeper;" better than I previously gave credit. Long story short, I ordered some for my Rover and Pathfinder. The order is being shipped directly from the Kearney, NE (Baldwin) plant. I recall seeing them on farm machinery and over-the-road trucks, and didn't realize they were oriented toward the "heavy duty" end of the scale. I think I like these guys....

Default Front Sprocket Removal

I want to replace my front sprocket and my question on the 2001 ZX9R is it left handed or right handed threads?

I checked my speedo against a gps and wow was off nearly 7 miles. I bought a speedo tuner and now it is perfect. Great investment for 90 bucks!!!!
