97 ls650 oil and filter question!

hello! Simple question I can't seem to find a straight answer to. Where can I get an oil filter from without ordering one? And what oil should I use on my bike? First bike and I am not sure ...

As for the filter, dealership or an independent bike shop.
None have suffered a failure that could be blamed on oil using Rotella T.

Sorry for the late reply! unfortunately I threw the box away but it was a KN-137 oil filter I believe! They only had one and I asked for more and the guy in the parts section said they don't get them often as he recalls and he doesn't know if he ever will again. it was kind of near a little motorcycle isle that also had other mc type products... I live in Colorado springs and this store was near AFA for any CO members.

Also! I got some castrol GTX sae 10w40 oil... will that work ok? I hope so...

Can't go wrong with Rotella T

Yep, that's the stuff.  I've been using Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 which is a little better but a lot more expensive.
