    I have absolutely no idea.

    Three oil drain plugs as well? Hmmm. My Triumph Rocket III had three of those suckers too....

    ...and it had a dry sump.

    These new Wings have a dry sump perhaps? Mebee not... I haven’t seen mention of an oil tank embedded somewhere on it... yet.

    I liking the dash and all the bells and whistles. Neat that audio has been upgraded, like tagging, album art, Bluetooth-etc. Says air filter change at 16,000 miles, but page #149 does not show where or how to change? - it must be buried like the previous Goldwings/F6b's.

    Maintenance Intervals

    - oil and filter every 8,000
    - air filter every 16,000
    - clutch fluid every 2 years
    - brake fluid every 2 years
    - spark plugs every 16,000
    - coolant every 3 years
    - final drive fluid every 3 years

    In short, just like a current GL1800, every 4,000 miles Honda says it needs some sort of service or inspection.

    Did anyone see instructions on how to remove the seat? I hope it's easier than the current model.

    I cannot believe the number of pages dedicated to explaining how to work the electronics, radio, GPS, Bluetooth, etc. etc. I have no need for all this crap on a motorcycle as I guess I am just getting old and find this "so-called" modern technology a royal "PITA"..Too each his own and I suppose this is what sells, but I bought my bike to ride and enjoy the wind in my face, so to speak, and not to take a ride on a cruise ship!!..Regards and ride safe

    Clutch oil drain plug

    The dual clutch transmissions on Honda motorcycles requires a special filter and probably explains the drain plug to get at it.
