Doing it for my first time. Oil capacity in the manual is 4 ltrs. I assume not all will drain out. In particular from the oil cooler. Can I expect to use the full 4 ltrs to top up? Should I go with 3.5 ltrs and then run and recheck. Perhaps fill cold to the lower mark on dip stick and then run. Any recommendations appreciated

I never put in the capacity on any vehicle. Always short 1 qt then run & top up. Fill the filter before installation and add 3lt. Top up till you like it on the stick. My bikes blow out till 1/2 way down the stick so I stop there.
Yes. Access to the metal clips that secure the air filter cover is tight. I recommend you take careful note of how the clips work as you remove each one. Reinstalling the less accessible clips can be 'entertaining.'

"ENTERTAINING" : that must be the understatement of the year. I did the airbox mod 6 months ago while installing Todd's fueling package and still haven't got the two side clips back on, after initially swearing at it for two hours.
I have a feeling the factory attaches the lid and clips before fitting the whole airbox to the intake. For the moment I have just wedged some small dense foam pieces between box lid and battery, where the side clips are, until such time as i need to take the tank off. Seemes to work well enough. There is a rubber seal in the lid anyway to take up any tiny slack.

I found it easier to get the side clips back on if I removed the side covers
Yep tried that, even disconnected ancilliary relay blocks etc on rhs, but no way I could find space to get fingers or any tool I possessed into that tiny space. Even going at it sideways, the subframe just got in the way. Todd suggested using some kind of dental "picker" tool, which I may yet try,
Having said that I did it today without removing the side covers. I took the battery out, pulled all the wiring that I could well out of the way and held it back, took the small fuse block off its mount, and that gave a clear shot at it. It was still a pain in the arse but I managed to get it past the bottom 2 clips and managed to clip them back on using a long screwdriver.
Yep they certainly didn't make it easy. After trying countless times and watching the clips fall out and disappear into some hidden recess in the bikes bowels while simultaneously swearing like a trooper, I stuck with the foam wedges, they can be removed and replaced in less than 2 seconds and actually give a tighter fit - ha ha
How do the foam wedges work Paul, is there a picture somewhere?
Well nothing hi-tech that's for sure, more like bodgeneering. Simply cut some small dense foam pieces from a garage flooring mat that I had kicking around and wedged them between airbox lid and battery - I'm sure I could have made it smaller and neater, but it was a super quick fix while doing the air-box mod and fueling package, so I could test it (you can see the BMC filter through the lid) and it has now become semi-permanent. Of course being wedged they are super easy to put in place and remove and they hold the lid tight on the sides (like the clips were supposed to do) so no dirty air get passed the seal. They also have stayed in place, so no worries they might come loose or move.

Simple and it works, love it. You have to wonder why Guzzi couldn't come up with something much easier.
