    Default RT maintenace - what's done in 30,000 mile service?

    I have heard that there is a major 30,000 mile maintenance schedule for these bikes. Can anyone please shed some light on what this entails.
    Thanks

    Reading the owners manual will answer all your questions about the 28,000 mile service. Lots of checks and fluid replacements.Three filters if memory serves.
    I won't be changing the spark plugs though.

    I was told by Spyderpops that the plugs should last for 60K.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Thanks, I dont of yet have a Spyder but have seen some in that 30,000 + range or near it and wanted
    to know what to ask sellers about their maintenance practices. Or possible costs if i need to perform them soon as I purchase.
    Thanks

    Oil and filter change
    HCM filter change
    air filter change
    fuel filter change

    manual specifies spark plugs but as others have said, its normally not needed until 60 or more.
