For my 2018 RS, I'm going to get plugs and filter for this winter's maintenance. Here's what Amazon has...can I do better elsewhere and/or do I have the right parts?

For the filter, I've never heard of that brand. I'd hunt down whatever the correct Mahle part is.

Hiflo is a well known brand in Europe but Mahle make the original

I've used the HifloFiltro oil filters for years, on my Ducati. Never used their air filters before.

Thanks. I don't need oil filters (I've accumulated 3 so far). They linked me to the specific pages I needed.

I've used that Hiflofiltro air filter for several years in my 2016 RS with no problems.

For the sparkplugs, I've used THIS. It's the same plug as in your link but costs less.

Swapped out my old air filter for a new Mahle yesterday.

26 screws. Or was it 28

I�m a fan of Condition Based maintenance, but once you start digging in to the RS air filter you just know you�re gonna fit the new one.

Most people remove 28 screws but only use 26 when putting things back together

You should change the air filter on a K1200RS.
Most of the body panels need to be removed and you also have to remove the gas tank.
The air filter is under the tank.
