I cannot believe there is no videos in changing spark plugs in a 2015 RT Spyder. I am going to be doing it in a short time. I thought there would be some videos in how to get to them. I guess I will find out when I do it.

I have a spark plug change coming up on my 2015 RT soon. I too, looked for a video and was surprised that I could not find one. Let us know how it goes!

Might just be that the spark plugs today last a long time. Not an item changed that often so no videos on changing them. Also depends on how far your search went as there are other places such as you tube, Facebook etc that may have some. Shop manual always a good go to book....:thumbup:

It is a big job. The front fairing, frunk and air box have to come off. Sold my Rt before that time came. But likely will be doing it on my F3L.

I don’t remember needing to take the front trunk off.

You don't have too but it does make it easier to remove the airbox...

I agree. Last time tried to do it leaving the frunk on, but struggled with it and then I took it off. Made the whole job easier.

Video of a 2011 will do him no good. Nice try though! :thumbup:

It has to be a 2014 or newer. It is the three cylinder 1300 engine.

How many miles do most ride before changing plus?

BRP says change them at the 28k service with the trans filter on the SE6. But some are going much further. It is difficult to know if they really need changing at 28k as Iridium spark plugs do not show wear or visible deterioration as do conventional spark plugs.

...and still have original sparkers in our 2014 RT Ltd. At 28,000 miles I did all the noted maintenance tasks, but the spark plugs. Bought them but as the bike starts easily, pulls with power and no detectable hesitations or misfires thought I'd avoid the task until I noticed performance issues that would indicate the need.

I have 27,000 miles on mind. I am doing the oil change and transmission filter but mind runs so good I may skip the plugs for now. I have purchased them and was planning to do them.

Don't forget fuel and air filters that are also due.

I have already changed both fuel filter and replace the air filter with a K&N air filter.

When I do change the plugs I will try to make a good video. So it won't be to long I will start after removing the Tupperware and I will show removing the air box which I understand has to be done. Some say the frunk has to be removed and others say it does not. I will try without but it is no real job to remove with both sides of Tupperware off. I have had mind off one time when I replaced the DESS module. I have done most all the service on mind. Oil change with the Transmission filter, gas filter, K&N air filter and brakes bleed all that is left is Spark Plugs. I don't know for sure when I will do them but will try to post a video when I do.
