 Does changing the HCM filter need BUDS or No BUDS?
Next change will be HCM filter.
The job is pretty straight forwarded.
Now do you need BUDS, yes or no?
If not, what is the procedure to purge/eliminate the bubbles.
Or do you leave it for the BRP shop?
I'm in SC Wisconsin if anybody has BUDs.

Twice, at 56K and 84K miles I just changed the oil filter and HCM filter, backed out of the garage and took a short test ride, nothing more. Both times everything worked fine; B.U.D.S. not needed.

otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

No, you do not need BUDS. I would be surprised, actually shocked, if any dealers use BUDS for an HCM filter change. They might charge you for it. But do it? I don't think so. No reason. Waste of time. I just recommend riding for a few miles before checking oil fil level to be sure everything has evened out.
Only SLOW people have to leave on time...

Don't they use BUDS to get all the air bubbles out?

No. Let it idle a bit then drive and shift gently for a short run. Mother nature and the flow of fluids will take care of it.

The function in BUDS is called, "HCM Ventilation". Is it required? It's your bike, you decide.

Put a few thou (3,000k or so) on my F3 since I swapped out that HCM filter along with the oil filter , along with new engine oil.
Musta got lucky - still running fine - no codes popping up. So far so good I guess.

Seem that the majority feels it's not necessary..
I'll have to think about it.
