Changing SE6 transmission filter
Can you swap out the Tranny HCM filter without doing a complete oil change (I.E. can you just drain the transmission side without all of the oil in the engine side tank coming out when I pull the transmission filter?)
The bike has only 800 miles on it's last oil change.

It's possible, but you would need to have your Spyder on it's left side. I do not recommend that, so I will say no.

Isn't it weird that in AMERICA our flag and our culture offend so many people......
but our benefits don't?

why do you want to replace the HCM filter after 800 miles?
-
Bought the bike with 27,500 miles on it. The seller did a fresh oil change, however, the HCM was not serviced. Warranty says I need to change the HCM filter in the 28,000 mile area. So I am doing that now. Do not want to void my warranty, I just extended it....

OK Les, I will do it right....Time is tight. I am moving this week and prepping for Spyderfest....

HCM FILTER
Papa, I just did mine ..... my RT had been draining for two months so when I did the HCM I barely had any oil come out ...... your's wouldn't go this way .......... so you can do either of two things #1. warm her up drain all oil from both drains into a CLEAN pan and then follow Doc's video, button her back up and put the oil back in ...... or do the drain thing don't bother with the oil filter and then do the HCM , and button it back up your choice ....

We'll do a better video on the next one. We are at 37k now on the RT, so won't be long.

I see now that I'm going to change that filter at my 25,000 mile oil change.

Run her to the next oil change. It will be fine.

Like Blue says - run her until you do the next change

The filter media in this filter is quite robust, and you are good if the previous oil changes where done as specified JMO
Right on I have put 40;000 on this filter no problems.

Depends...
Seems you could just place your oil pan under you work area and catch the oil that drains out when you remove the cover. Personally I would dump it and top off with fresh oil after the filter change is made. Would not wait till next oil change if observing the recommended change period of 9,300 miles. Couple more thousand would not make a difference.
