Thanks Gary
Paint thinner works fine. MikesXS or any Yamaha dealer sell the OEM style side filter don't forget gaskets for both covers.
So my local Yamaha dealer didn't have a filter and can order it to come in mid next week but I was hoping to get the oil changed this weekend is there a similar fram or |Honda or generic filter that is the same match as the OEM part number #25613441
Anyone have any idea why no one has designed a paper filter to replace the OEM one on the clutch side? Seems making one that mimics the OEM but with paper screen would be damn good. No?

The one that retiredgentleman referenced is it. Doesn't get any better than that. For a 30+ year bike they have tremendous aftermaket support be greatful.
I'm with Greenbush It would be nice to have a replaceable paper filter under the stock cover. But there isn't a lot of room in there. Might be to easy to plug that small of a paper filter. scenario sump filter is torn front cam guide is coming apart, how long to plug a paper filter?
Sorry #15-6501 is a screen.gggGary and Greenbush,
Look farther down the page at Part #15-6501 I think you will find what you're looking for has been around for a very long time.

I think some Japanese filter brand had a direct replacement paper filter at one time.
Kinda related, some Lycoming aircraft piston engines came with an oil screen, if you changed to a remote paper filter the recommended oil change interval goes from 25 hours to 50 hours.
