That seems to be about the average price compared to other outlets ;)

You may want to buy a re-usable filter such as K&N or Unifilter, the initial purchase price may put you off but will pay for itself in the long term.

arrivederci

that was genuine suzuki, are you sure they're the same? i was led to believe that the SV420 & SV620 ran a different filter & air box to the SE416.

I dunno about you guy's but my friend ebay say's you can get fuel, air and oil filters for just under $70 for a V6

And about $43 for sierra fuel oil and air

Prices include postage.
