I have a Haynes manual but it's at my buddy's garage. I've also searched around a bit on the Googles + various "R" & "GS" videos.

My maintenance schedule says I'm to REPLACE the fuel filter every 24k.

- Where is it? (is it the type that's part of the pump?)
- Has anyone documented the access & maintenance process?

Don't take this as red, but is it inside the fuel tank? I've never done an RS filter but I've done older BMs and I seem to remember that's where they were.

I think you're right. I've just googled it and there's nothing listed as a replaceable filter for 2013 on. The old metal canister filter seems to be pre 2010 which annoys me because I've still got one sitting on my shelf!
