I like that you’ve posted pictures. My wife just transitioned from 2 wheels to a 2013 RTS SE5 that she bought from the original 95 yr old owner. I’m doing my first oil and filter change on this “new” machine. I do most of the basic maintenance on our motorcycles and cars but the Spyder is a new thing. I have the full factory manual. I don’t have a motorcycle lift but floor jacks and jackstands and even stacks of 2x8 lumber. Some folks are dead set against supporting on the rear shock saying BRP warns against this. Seems to me if the rear shock can support the shocks of driving a jackstand wouldn’t be a problem.

What has your experience been?

Thanks

I use a 1500 lb motorcycle jack and it lifted the RT no problem.

Back pad is almost directly under the driver foot peg.



This is where it hits on the frame.
