    Default Question about Service Manuals and different years

    Looking for some expert advice regarding service manuals.

    I have a 2016 RT limited and have downloaded a Service Manual (green) for it. My riding buddy has a 2014 RT Limited (1330) SE6. Does anyone know if there were changes made from the 2014 RT Limited (1330) SE6 model through the 2016 RT Limited? Would it be safe to assume that we can share the same Service manual for both Spyders for maintenance and wiring diagrams?

    It would be so much more convenient if we could work out of the same manual, but if there were some major changes then we will get the one for the 2014 RT series for him.

    Default For the most part...

    As far as frame and power plant they are the same . Wiring will be the same though limited will have some additional connections the base harness are the same.

    They changed the master cylinder for 16 but not much else. You should be good sharing one manual.
