Does changing the HCM filter need BUDS or No BUDS?

[sgerksinwi]

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.

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.

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.

i believe your thinkin brake fluid change

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.
