I just finished the last phase of my 12k mile service - Replacing the brake fluid. I will add my voice to the few others who have posted and said you do not need the BUDS to do it. It is like any other brake bleed with a few Spyder specific variations. The variations are spelled out in the shop manual. If you are really paranoid about throwing a code, like I am, just be sure and tie off the microswitch down by the brake pedal so it can't be tripped by excessive pedal travel while you are pumping the brake fluid out.
