My dealer handed me my update panel with no cost to me. I had to give them my letter from BRP. I do my own oil change on the RTS. Bob

I was lucky enough to get one also and installed it. Fairly easy overall and look forward to my next oil change.

I have not received my letter from BRP for the new panel. Are they still rolling them out or is mine MIA?

It helps because you don't have to take off any of the painted panels.
I did drill the support and that is approved by BRP now.

You need to check and make sure your dealer turned in your purchase info to BRP. I've heard that some are not in the BRP system...Go figure

We did not get a letter because per CA. law BRP could not include us in the new maintenance schedule. But, that does not mean you can not get the new panel. Check with your dealer and see how he is handling it. Probably pay to play since we don't have a letter to give him for reimbursement.

I thought you just went in thru the bottom lamont. they you didnt need to remove any of the painted panels.
jack up the Spyder and access from the bottom (after you remove the splash panel)

Not that easy on the SE, I've tried.

Yes, I installed new panel myself and have the cat shields on there..No problem....Plus with the cat shields I feel comfortable when I'm riding and there are stray cats on the road

You ryders in California might have to figure out an address in a nearby State to get the letter and the parts???

No clue as to why.
Got the new filter and housing. Just no letter for a free or low cost panel set?

I had to pay for my panel since I do my own oil changes. According to BRP this at the perogative of the dealership as charge or not since they get the panel for no charge with the ticket I could have supplied. Shame, I like my dealer but this type of thing costs them more than they know. The panel costs a little over $30 with the 10% discount I get for buying the bike there.

Well, I guess I am one of the few. I take over 3 hours to do the oil change. I kinda talk to the Spyder, look for things that seem unusual, let the oil drain thoroughly, etc. When the new oil is all in the Spyder, I Simple Green the engine and hose off. The engine looks almost as clean as when it was new. Taking time to observe gives me the time to notice if some things may be a little unusual from the last oil change.
And, I do not want the new panel!
Happy Trails!
