    Thanks ths61! I don't think this is the final edition yet, but it answers a ton of questions.

    Yes and thanks for the early posting...but, I still would like to know about changing the air filter and is it still the same old "PITA" to do...No big deal just curious...Regards

    Thank goodness. 87 octane and easy 8000 mile oil changes are huge factors in making a purchase decision for me.

    Thanks for sharing. Some new interesting differences in maintenance compared to 2001-17 bikes:

    1. Oil capacity is up to 5 quarts (4.9 to be exact) with a filter change.
    2. There are three oil plugs
    3. There is a clutch oil filter

    Everything else seems to be the same. Hats off to Honda for continuing to make this bike cheap and easy to maintain (except for the air filter, which doesn't need attention too often in most climates).

    Perhaps "clutch oil" means "transmission fluid" in the world of DCT?
