12,000 mile service

I would be willing to bet that there has never been a single Spyder that needed a valve adjustment at 12,000 miles. So, there is no need for a valve inspection at 12,000 miles.

SO what do other bikes require? How does the Spyder service schedule compare to other bikes?:dontknow::chat:

Unfortunately, there are lots of opinions here and there is no hard and fast answer.

Obey the manual--do the adjustments--get out the checkbook

Consider that BRP may have been overzealous on the valve checks

Take into account how much you want to pay for service--prices which vary all over the chart

Take into account what others have found out and done. So far, I do not recall any repercussions from not doing it before 30K miles.

Time for a drink--:roflblack::roflblack:

So does the valve adjustment service start at 12K or 6K??

The factory spec on the valves is a valve check every 12,000 miles, with the first check at 6,000. There was talk of relaxing this to every 24,000 miles with the first check at 12,000, but I haven't heard of an official technical service bulletin on this change as yet.
