    Default RS/GS Spyder Breakdown-------- Arntufun Style----------- Updated Version

    This thread might take a few seconds to load because of all the videos.

    This video series will take you through the breakdown of the Spyder from panel removal, airbox/filter removal, rear wheel removal, brakes, plugs, wires, coolant, oil changes, exhaust gaskets and more.


    This 1st series of videos will show you how to remove the left and right side panels, top cover, locate the battery and remove the rear tire splash guard.



    This 2nd series will show your air filter location and remove the airbox. Follow instructions above for panel removal.






    This 3rd series of videos will show you how to remove the rear wheel. Please see Lamonts RS rear wheel removal prior to viewing these. Link here http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...eel-Removal-RS


    This 4th series of videos will show you how to install a Battery Tender JR to your Spyder. Follow the 1st Series of videos for left side panel removal.





    This 5th series of videos will show you how to install a piece of foam in your airbox line to prevent oil from getting into the airbox. Follow instructions for left side panel removal and just watch the 1st airbox video in series 2.

    The foam is from a dirtbike air filter so you will have to get one of those to do this install.

    What a pleasant suprise to find these excellent videos. Thank you very much arntufun!!

    I'm new to Spyders, only got my 2008 GS last week. I've done my own maintenance on my cars, motorcycles & scooters since the late '50s.

    Now I will have the confidence to continue that with my Spyder.

    Again-----------thank you very much for taking the time to do it all.

    Definitely a great job by Art putting the video's together..I used every one of them when I first started taking off the tupperware and diving into installing the mods...Thank God I've got a nephew here that races and wrenches metric bikes...He's been invaluable to me...He's corrected so many blunders that the dealer made..I feel very comfortable with all the mods that I've done and I have a very long list...This forum is invaluable...everything from technical assistance to advise on where to ride, get together, make friends, who to avoid and who to bring your business to...Being a member of this forum is very important to having a good relationship with your Spyder...I don't think I'd own one...in our case 2, without being a member of this board. I'm extremely grateful to Lamont, Scotty, Art, and many others for making my Spyder ownership something that I'll always cherish....and Cindi & I continue to meet and make many friends from the area that have common interests...Everything being said, owning the Spyders has been good for me...great for us (my wife), and entertaining all at the same time. We've made many friends and visited a lot of places that we probably would have bypassed..We look forward to more good times, great rides, and friendships yet to be made...Is it hard to tell I've had a couple glasses of tremendous German white wine? <laughing>...Happy Independence Day to all...and God Bless Our Troops..

    Arntufun, just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to do these videos. I replaced my exhaust Y gaskets and installed BajaRon's plugs and wires today and the videos were very helpful. I will definitely be watching more of your videos in the future. I have a brake job to do before spyderfest. Great videos! Thanks again.

    Thanks Art! Did the all the brakes and the video was a tremendous help. Those 9mm bolts on the rear brake took some serious persuasion to get them loose!

    Great videos. I really appreciate your time. Just to let you know, it says the video for installing the foam to keep oil out of the air box is no longer existent. ..
