I got my 990 Adv S in November last year and it's been running great so far.

Not knowing what exactly the previous owner did with the bike in terms of services, I decided to just do as much as I can on the next one and this included:

Oil change (draining sump and tank, cleaning screens, and replacing oil filter)
Replaced spark plugs
Flushed cooling system
Replacing brake fluid
Steering head bearing
Checking wheel bearings
Checking forks
Air filter replacement with Unifilter

I should also be getting to the rear shock linkage this weekend, and I'll eventually take it in to have the valve clearances checked (no way I'm doing this myself)

Now the one thing I didn't find in the service manual, or on any other guides online is how/when to change the fuel filter? The only 'how to' I found to this was at https://ktm950.info/how/Orange%20Garage/carbs%20and%20FI/fuel_injection/Fuel%20Filter/fuel_filter_change.html

Not sure how relevant this is? Should I do this? It seems like a hell of a lot of work to get to a filter, which almost makes me wonder if the guys at KTM wanted you to replace this at all.

Thanks!
