Wow that sucks...
Ron Ayers has P/N 16510-03G00-X07 for an 06' GSX-R 750 (random bike I picked) listed for $9.63 each.
I run Motul and OEM Yamaha filters and buy from Ronayers. I normally buy 3-4 oil changes worth so that shipping is less overall. Normally by doing this I can save a good $30-40 over dealership prices for everything.

actually purolator does make one for suzuki but it's not the highly rated pureone, it's their bottom end filter. It's about fram like so I won't use it. i'll need to order a few on line. I've seen suzuki OE's for like $27 for 3 on eBay. Since I've decided to give the 675 another chance I don't want to buy a bunch of filters for the gix just yet. I had 2 spares from my SV which I think were the same as the gix but gave them to the guy that bought it since i did not think I'd need them. Tib - in my R1 I run purolator pureone's pl14610, which is also the same filter as my 675 and my WRX as well as my parent's altima. I buy them in 4 or 6 packs  I just run rotella synthetic in all of the bikes. Never any issues.

I change the oil and filter every two trackdays. I use Rotella T 15w40 and Honda filters. I figure changing both on that schedule is cheap insurance. Since the oil is used for both the engine and transmission the potential for junk in the oil is greater than a car engine.
I use the Rotella T oil , regular oil which is cheap, because it doesn't have to retain it's viscosity longer than about 300 to 350 miles. Anyway it meets all motorcycle manufacture requirements and if it is good enough for the big long haul trucks it should work fine in my R6

The track ho gets its oil changed every two to three track days.
Since the bike is still under warrenty, still using Kawi oil and filters. That way if I have any problems I will only get crap for making it into a track ho, not for using "un-approved" oil.
ZZR gets oil changes about every 3000 miles.
