Re: Oil filter storage - use or bin ?
As long as they were dry and not exposed to moisture you should be OK using them
FYI: I buy all my filters by the case, motorcycles, cars and plane, never a issue and they are stored in a unheated hanger

Re: Oil Level in the Viewing Window
Manual for 15 RT shows oil capacity 4L or 1.1 gallons
If i’am using Castrol the bike gets 1 gallon
If i’am using the rebranded Shell it gets 4L, I do the service so I know it’s not getting overfilled

Re: Price gougers!
Careful with the filters with nut on bottom (K&N) the quality isn’t there. Correct filter tool can be had from Beemer boneyard quite reasonably in price as can filters in bulk

The only issue I have had was a pu...
