Oh no! Well, please tell me, Ron, that us old Spyders can still get our extended filters from you!

Yes, I get my filter kit from Ron, but I like to buy my oil local and keep some on hand.

ok, well, just wanted to be sure with all the specs and drama that seem to be going around about using the wrong oil. I appreciate your thoughts! Thank you.

Alright, I have another oil question for you all... I know about using the JASO MA II rated oil, but I am confused about the API ratings. From what I read it is just to do with chronological...

Thank you for your reply! I am looking for #3 in your pics. So the part #'s I found were on the Electrical Accessories, Steering SA parts page. Yes, I replaced the paddle part of the shifter about a...

Hi all! I am trying to find the part number for my Spyder's shifter switch. I finally found the assembly/part drawing, but I am not sure about part numbers. It looks like there are 2 assemblies for...

So sorry, just saw your question here. I put the bottom guard on, but did not see a good way to put the top on on my '08. Things didn't line up, and I didn't want it halfway held on, so I ended up...

Thank you for your reply. Do you know how those things are measured? I see 17mm, and 19mm, not sure what or where they measure.

Wow, thank you! Lots of good info. Finally someone who answered about the B.U.D.S. Thankfully it sounds like I won't need to worry about it anyway. I mean, this thing only has 25k on it. I am...

So glad for your input! I did finally find that old thread where Ron posted his comments and pictures. Also I looked at your fix in your album for the canister-ectomy; looks good! Thank you so...

ok, I can do that, wasn't sure just how much it could stand. I don't want to ruin it. But, I checked the oil again last night and it has stayed the same; smell test on dipstick wasn't overall...

ok, sorry, misconception! That's why I ask. Pull the hose, plug the hole in the airbox, put filter on end of pulled hose, and install additional hose down to drain out. I have it right, now,...

Thank you, yes, checked oil because it seems to use some, and the level was way high! So I pumped some out, and that oil and the dipstick smell of gas. I ride 25 miles to work, so no short trip...

thanks for your info. So put a filter on the end I plug? use the other end to add to and use as a 'drain tube"? Thank you so much, I appreciate the help you guys give. I put a new fuel filter on...

I bought this machine used 2 years ago. I had the air box off last winter to change filters, really don't know about this hose... I will need to take that airbox off again because of high oil level,...

Thank you, yes, checked oil because it seems to use some, and the level was way high! So I pumped some out, and that oil and the dipstick smell of gas. I ride 25 miles to work, so no short trip...

Has anyone else had the problem of fuel getting into your oil? What was the cause? Even just replacing the fuel injectors you have to have B.U.D.S., right? What else could cause the fuel to get...

Thank you for your replies. I saw them on Amazon, but wasn't sure if there were different sizes; I don't want to get the wrong size! Thank you all again!

2008 Can Am GS, looking for the best place to get the DZUS 1/4 fasteners for the body panels. Missing one, but would like to have a few more on hand. Didn't see them on BajaRon site. Any ideas...

I used Maguiars Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer on my 2008 GS. It did a great job on certain parts - the back rest, the mud flaps...but didn't do so well on some of the other black matte finish...

I am a little late to the discussion I know, but just now saw this and wanted some further info. I downloaded a 'service manual' for my 2008 GS from another site, don't remember the name, I think it...

well, it started not lucky when the paddle shifter broke! I looked and looked trying to find a part without having to buy that whole apparatus. Thought I was just going to have to buy one and use...

yes, thanks! I have some I had used for some o-rings. Good information!

yes, thank you Isopedella. I have carefully placed those pieces in a cup with the screws from the cover so I don't lose anything. I thought about lube, I have some clear silicone grease, is that...

absolutely!!! You are a godsend!! Thank you so much!! Okay, I have purchased this part. I see that it is 3D printed. I have a 3D printer, but the design of this piece is beyond me, I am...

Hello all! I am asking if anyone has or knows where I can get a paddle shifter lever for my 2008 SE5. I don't know what years have the same parts. I do not need the whole entire assembly like...

Thank you for your thoughts. Well, I bought this a year ago, from a guy that had bought it maybe 2 years previously from someone. He only rode it home after he bought it, I think that was it. He...

What I did to my Spyder yesterday....2008 GS. I lubed the front suspension. I have a 90 degree adapter for my grease gun, but it was still a struggle; I like the idea of a 45 degree fitting better...

Thanks to all for replies! I have gotten both now, Ebay for the bottom one, and SpyderPops for the top. Appreciate your comments and thoughts.

Bought a used 2008 GS, there are no belt guards on it. I see that Spyderpops sells the 'missing belt guard'. Is it more important to have the top guard, or shall I make sure to get both? Thanks...
