12,000 mile service parts

[Rando]

Does anyone have their itemized list of parts that were required for the 12,000 mile service? I would like the part #'s so I could order them in advance or do most dealers stock the parts, like the ball bearings and seals? What items on the check list are the most important? Is it really that important to change the brake fluid? How about the spark plugs if the my Spyder is running good? I plan on doing my own oil change. Thanks!

This is a good post. I am very curious myself as to what is involved. Release the Hounds!! :roflblack:

It is definitely important to change the brake fluid. Brake fluid will absorb moisture from the air. Although we think of our brake systems as being sealed they are not completely air tight.

Usually northern tools or harbor freight has a pretty good brake fluid changer. They are the type units that syphon fluid from a clean container. Also any fluid left is useless unless you intent to use it in a few days. These containers don't reseal very good after they've been opened.

It's been a while since I priced one so I can't estimate the current cost. Ken krb1945

:agree:

Evoluzione has a one man bleeder contraption..wonder if that works well. My clutch fluid looks like it could be changed. I'm in the same ballpark on miles so been thinking about this too.

This may be of help. 3K_SERVICE.pdf
It was done last year, so I am not sure if any of the part numbers have changed.

For the link look under Can Am/Clutch systems and scroll down a little to see it.

Soooo, no one has attempted to use this thing yet? I hate to be the Guinea pig.
