Have you ever noticed the "exploded view" term that is used in manuals? It is supposed to mean "enlarged" view but in my case it was the view after things exploded.Here's the bike after the exhaust line has been removed, the engine guard has been shifted, the oil cooler lines disconnected, the filter housing cover taken off and the filter extracted. They sure make it an adventure.
Everything went back together well and there weren't any leaks when I cranked it up. There was one problem, however. BMW sells an oil change kit that comes with a filter and all of the necessary o-rings and gaskets. There were 2 small metal gaskets that were extra, in my opinion. It's going to drive me crazy not knowing what they are or if they belonged somewhere. Giggle
