I am concidering servicing my 1200GS myself but have some questions...
Its a new spec 2008 with 20000km on...

There is no mention of an oil filter in the service check list, is that a slip up?
What grade oil does our bikes use? I want to see if I can get some Liqui moley. (dont think Motul is better)
What grade oil does the gears use? (that the gearbox?? where do I drain that?)
Charge AGM (absorptive glass matt) Battery....what is this??
Then I will also be changing spark plugs, I think the bike being an older model can do with new plugs.

The bike needs to swing 4 times to start...I would like to improve on this therefore trying to be thorough
