My local dealer here in Los Angeles tells me the part # 62229-08A is the SAME one thats in the bike now and NOT an updated part...can anyone that has replaced one with this part # describe the difference in material or any obvious differences.

Mine failed with 8100 miles on it, it went slow and teased me.&nbsp\\; Sometimes it would start and sometimes it would not.&nbsp\\; My dealer identified it right off the bat and had it fixed in 1 day .

I just pulled my filter shell.&nbsp\\; Took about ten minutes to get out.&nbsp\\; I can see stress cracks in the corners of the locking tabs.&nbsp\\; I've been taking pics along the way and will post them up.&nbsp\\; Gotta run out and pick up the new filter shell.

The -A- at the end of the part# means it's the updated part. Your bike will have the updated part if it was built after 12-07. So he may be right or he may be wrong

Part # 62229-08a&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; filter shell. I replaced mine u don't need any thing else u can reuse everything else, orings and top plate seal ring
I thought you needed part # 61402-08A also? I didn't think you were supposed to reuse the screws because they had sealer on them?

Changed mine last week. After seeing the old one and installing the new one, I think its not if it fails, its when it fails. Took exactly 1 hour and 2 beers to complete.
