A couple of year ago got fed up of paying Suzuki dealer $34.00 excluding tax every 10,000 - 12,000 mile for new Suzuki air filter, at that time could not find aftermarket OE equivalent in dry filter and K&N not make specific air filter model for 650 Burgie. Did find high quality Italian manufacturer BMC who manufacture many model of air filter for many bike brand and model that engineer model BMC FM388/19 air filter specifically for 650 Burgie. This is same principle like K&N air filter that you oil, me clean and re-oil BMC filter every 10-11k approx.
Here are comments on this unit: it a quality product, rubber frame and gasket fit exactly same as OEM unit, color is red instead of black, it fit bike filter enclosure perfectly like OEM air filter, it media and screening about the same as K&N. Because me clean about every 10k or so it never really get very dirty. Prefer clean more often @10k because cleaner and oil very inexpensive and each bottle can do at least 5-6 cleaning and re-oiling.
Paid $56.00 for BMC air filter and less than $15.00 total for 2 bottle kit of one each cleaner and oil in kit, about same price as 2 OEM air filter. Presently from experience so far this filter will outlive bike, so really really inexpensive long term, it perform as well as OEM filter and not need to run around chasing Suzuki air filter. BMC filter & kit more than paid for now.
Something to consider if you do own maintenance on bike or if so incline to purchase such item.
