    DPF filter covered by recall?

    I have a 2015 GSW MT with 110k on it. Starting to logistically pan for the teming belt which I'll likely do 10k before factory recommended. Does anyone know if the DPF is covered as part of the recall? If upon getting checked at the 120k mark I'm told to replace, is that under the warranty?

    Diesel particulate filter

    Since I'm nearing 100k I'm starting to pay attention to some of the upcoming maintenace needs. I assume the DPF was chaged during the recall fix and therefore the 120,000 mile check interval is now different? Also, is ir safe to assume the DPF falls under the extended warranty as part of the...

    Manual trans fluid change?

    You're correct, the bike has separate oil baths. Does anyone know the trans capacity for the manual, dealership was no help (surprise!)

    Manual trans fluid change?

    I'm at 95k on my 2015 GSW MT and wondering if I need to start thinking about the gearbox fluid? Anyone deal with this yet on thier mk7's? I have a BMW motorcycle which the trans fluid is to be changed every 8,000 miles, so I'm confused at the differences in need.

    Brake Service ?

    I'm in the same boat. 95k and stock rotors and pads. Obviously the MT has something to do with brake life enhancement.

    brake life

    I have a 2015 GSW 6M with just about 80k on the odometer (miles)....I check the brakes every 6k when rotating the tires and they just don't seem to be wearing down (it's a good thing)....wondering what kind of brake life those with manual trans are getting?

    Timing belt uh oh...

    I do have a garage at my disposal....I looked at the work that had to be done, definitely within my skill set, but may not be worth the frustration? When I get close to the 110k mark I'll start thinking about it some more.

    Fellow wrenchers here?

    I'm very lucky to have a full lift at work with a full supplement of tools. I've done all the interval maintenance to this point and many brake jobs. If I can do the work, I'll do it myself, I've always found that I like the feeling of knowing that I personally checked the torques and levels...
