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.

Get a set of instructions
There was a time that BRP oil change kits came with printed instructions. My last kit didn't. Possibly ask your dealer for an old copy or get them to print one off of the BUDDS system. My dealer has been able to print a copy of several sets of installation instructions for me. If this doesn't work for you, try Harvey at Spyderpops. He is helpful, courteous and also a sponsor of the website.

Summary
Ride bike until oil is hot. Jack up front. Place on jack stands. Remove side covers. Remove splash guards. One screw, one push pin each side. On left side, if you have the latest side cover, remove. Slips right out. Oil filter and transmission filter are right there. 5 mm Allen. Spread newspaper, position drain pan. Remove filter covers. If you have belly pans, remove those first. Oil tank drain is easy. Bottom of oil tank. Crankcase drain is behind the filter for the engine, which is the lower of the two filter housings. Drain oil. I like to let it drain for at least an hour: it is then cool to reassemble. Use rubber gloves....hot oil hurts! Put fresh crush washers in each drain plug, fresh o ring for the filter, fresh oil filter from Baja Ron. Refill with oil (I like AMSOIL 10/40 motorcycle oil). I regularly replace the crappy drain plugs with dimple plugs. The stock drain plugs are junk. Make sure your torx socket is well seated (tap with hammer) before turning. Have plenty of paper towels handy, and an assistant helps!
Or, ride it over here, I will show you how to do it! Good excuse to visit Las Vegas! Joe

Joe, good info I would like to add one more thing when you remove the Allen bolts be sure to keep them separate as the ones for the oil filter are deferent than ones for the transmission.... best of all have fun :thumbup:jtpollock

Call
There are two. One to drain the oil tank, plug in bottom of oil tank. One to drain the crankcase. There are two filter housings. The upper filter is smaller, and is for the transmission. The lower one is for the engine oil filter. Behind that (or more to the right) is the drain plug. Questions? Call me: number below ! Joe

Does anybody have instructions on how to replace oil and filter? pics? videos? mine is a 2011 se5, the only video online is completely worthless and i'm not very smartpps:
Now first thing I'll mention is that it will be in your handbook
Page 95 to 98 in my 2011 handbook. If you don't have a copy of the handbook I can send you a link to one.This Aussie guy has a number of videos on how to do stuff and he's got one on doing a minor service (which is mainly the oil and filter change).

Just checked and the service one is for a SM not and SE so you'll have an extra filter to replace, however things like the oil plugs etc will be the same so it should point you in the right direction.
