There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Regarding part #60. Don't buy a new one, just clean the existing one. It's only a single screw that holds the plastic housing together, and as stated above there's only a small filter element inside. It can be cleaned and reassembled very easily at no cost.
I bought a new one before I started the job and once I got there I realized it could be cleaned and didn't need to be replaced. And, for the record, when I pulled mine apart at about 30k miles it was very dirty and was in need of servicing or replacement. The air draw tube is right next to the rear tire and seems to attract road debris, which is why I think BRP includes it in their maintenance schedule.
As far as spark plugs go: many people have reported their plugs look great at the 28k mile service. I did mine at the 36k mile mark and they were noticeably worn and there was a minor degradation in performance. I believe that with the relatively high performance of the ACE 1330 engine (compared to an automobile) iridium spark plugs won't last 100k miles as we all would think, so I'd recommend doing it.

Do you know where I can buy it online? BajaRon doesn't carry it. Thanks.

You can buy either the fuel filter assembly that includes two Oetiker Clamps, PN 219800056, $16.49, from BRP or Cheap Cycle parts, both online, but you must have Oetiker Clamp pliers to properly install. Or you could buy the fuel filter alone, BRP PN 704000100, $17.49, and use two fuel injector system clamps from an auto parts store using their cross reference table for the fuel filter but do not use a plastic filter. Cheap Cycle Parts has a different PN for the filter alone, 513033719, don't know why. I note that BRP lists the fuel filter assembly or fuel filter alone through MY 2018 with the same PNs.
They look like regular PEX plumbing clamps. Anything different about Oetiker clamps / pliers?

These are the pliers I have, they have both front and side jaws. My house doesn't have any PEX stuff in it so I didn't know anything about the system, just bought the pliers the first time I changed fuel filter. Got 'em from Amazon, $30. The Oetiker clamps from BRP are each individually sized for the particular tubing by PN. Got my first parts from local Spyder dealership that was sold. Have switched to Cheap Cycle Parts where I can because nearest Can-Am dealer is now a Ride Now facility 25 miles away whose parts department I am unimpressed with; they frequently don't have the simple stuff - poor inventory management.

The PEX clamps are Oetiker clamps, or a copy. Oetiker is a brand name. There are also similar clamps used for poly pipe, like irrigation, but use the same pliers. Go the Lowes or Home Depot and take a look at them.
What's that?
I already have the PEX tools and clamps, but ordered the Knipex from HD for $20 anyway. I like the side jaw feature for tight spots.

There have been any number of times I could have used a side jaw crimper. I didn't even know they existed! One thing for sure when you're crimping the ring on a 3/4" or 1" PEX - your grip had better be strong! Many times I've had to put one handle against something solid so I push harder on the other one.
The PEX crimpers I use have a ratcheting feature because of the force required to crimp that steel. I'm thinking the Oetiker clamps must be of softer material since the pliers have little mechanical leverage.
