I have heard the same thing about the Fram oil filters. Here is a quote from another forum.

"(name removed) and I cut open a Fram oil filter and a Suzuki OEM filter here a few weeks back. He pointed out to me the exact differences between the 2 motorcycle filters. I was using a Fram on mine for the last oil change. The difference between the 2 was the Fram had a paper lining inside and the filter inside were much more spaced. He pointed out to me the Fram paper would clog the port holes. The paper would just flake right off with the scratching of a finger nail. The metal housing of the Fram was very thin"

I use a K&N but the suzy is a good filter also.
