4RT left crankcase cover alternative for oil filter access?

Given that you have to wiggle the filter past the flywheel it would make no difference - the other bikes have smaller flywheels (if any) so the filter comes straight out.

I can't help thinking that Honda could have reduced the diameter of the flywheel by a fraction and compensated by making it slightly thicker to compensate, thus allowing straight removal via a small cover.

Oil loss is hardly an issue as surely nobody changes the filter without changing the oil at the same time?

Still easier to do with the bike on its side as the cable to the flywheel cover is not stressed.

Bash plate off as well to avoid any problem with gasket.

And put the the "new" oil in before refitting the cover - much quicker than pouring through that little hole if you don't.
