I did the Oil, trans filter, & fuel filter change on my Spyder!
I completed all of these things yesterday and even though it took me most of the afternoon I know it was done right and I saved a few (probably quite a few) bucks. The hardest part of it was getting to the fuel filter. It is in a different place to access..! But I’m just stubborn enough to stay at it til it was done. I got the oil change kit and trans filter from BajaRon and fuel filter from Amazon.
Do t need to worry about it for a while now ..!!

Good job! The first time is always slower.

Congratulations! And you probably did a better job that anyone else would. (We also sell the BRP fuel filters, by the way.) But what I want to caution in this regard is that we had a customer come in last month with a plastic fuel filter installed. He'd done the work himself and put less than 100 miles on the bike. The fuel filter looked like a pumpkin! It had swelled up quite a bit and frankly. I was surprised it had not burst. It was about ready to.
The Spyder fuel system is under high pressure. You can't just use any fuel filter that fits. Be sure you have a fuel filter that can take this pressure. Otherwise, you're doing yourself no favors. The BRP filter is unnecessarily expensive. I'll give you that. And there may be less expensive options that will work just fine. But please, do not cut corners on this one.

The Wix should be good to go. You don't have to use a BRP filter.

28K on the 1330 HCM filter. Same for the fuel filter. There is only 1 filter in the Oil Service Kit because of the extended HCM filter interval.

Depends on what you have at hand. You can use a floor jack and jack stands. Ramps can also work.

Tips
A few little tips for you:
1. Magic mirrors.
2. Hex head drain plugs .
3. A few minutes with a Dremel tool to open the area around the drain plugs.
4. Good lighting.
Others will add more tips for sure.

Ramps to run the front wheels up on then a scissor type jack to lift the back up ( jacking up on the lower shock bracket). I chocked the front wheels on the ramp for safety.

Be careful with that. Jacking on the rear shock bracket can bend the mounting bolt.
