Where do you get your maintenance items?

For those that do their own servicing, where do you get your oil, filters, etc?
Do you only use BRP brand products?

I am capable of doing the maintenance items listed as "customer" in the manual, but I do not want to use poor quality products. That being said, I don't want to spend too much. :)

Thanks!

+1:thumbup:

If it's not coming from BajaRon, then you might as well get it from your dealer... :thumbup:

Baja Ron. Then you don't have to follow the countless threads on oil types. He does all of that for you.

Baja Ron. No doubt.

(Is this where we all hoist Ron up on our shoulder, carry him around the room, and drink a beer or three in his honor?) :shocked: :roflblack:

OK, it seems Baja Ron is the "go to" guy for this. Next question, how can I tell which transmission filter my 2012 RT-S SE5 has? I read that there is a short and long version and having never seen either, I don't know what to look for.

If you have the new filter you should have a sticker on the oil tank warning to use the right filter. Bajaron does not have the new longer trans filter yet or least I don't think so. You will have to get the trans filter from the dealer whether or not you currently have the longer filter. The new filter will come with a deeper replacement cap free of charge to fit the longer filter. My understanding that next year they will stop giving away the new cap with the filter.

I've bought oil filter kits from bajaron. I did by a filter from the local bike shop for around 10 bucks but no rings our washers. I buy oil at O'Reilly auto parts that's ma2 rated. They have both full and semi synthetic in my area.

The best oil? http://www.damnbestoil.com/powersports.html One of the sponsers here...

BajaRon, I think I have everything Ron sells for the GS/RS. For OEM parts : http://www.cheapcycleparts.com/makes get the part at a discount and no tax or shipping a come right to your door. For others I use our vendor page, things recommed on this website, Amazon.com, Ebay, or search the web and in that order. That's IMHO.

I agree with all the posts that have "Baja Ron" in them. If he has it, that's where I get it.

If you are interested in AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil for your Spyder, I can provide you with a 6 month Trial Membership with AMSOIL that will allow you to purchase all the AMSOIL products wholesale delivered to your door.

To take advantage of this offer, click on the banner in this post or on the home page. Once at my site, click on the flashing +Trial Membership+ banner, fill out and submit the form. I will do the rest.

This offer costs me $10.00 so I ask if you to refrain from taking advantage of this offer if you do not intend to buy oil.

Thanks and Merry Christmas

Ron fer sure. But I'm not going to put him on my shoulders, bad back. However, I'll hoist a drink to him.
