New Filter Cap Bolt issue

[CanAmChris]

may help those who have SE 5's avoid a similar outcome. Next time you have the panel off color code the caps and bolts(different colors for eng/trans of course). A dot of color on each is all you need.

Belive me Jerbear, the sharpies are comming out after this is all done. The trailer will be here at 09:00 Thursday morning to take it in for surgery. I'll let you all know how it goes.

I hate to admit it but I did the same thing last year on my 2011 RT-S. I just bit the bullet and put on a new outer case. Parts and labor ( $75 hour ) about $800.00

Well that is worst case but if it gets me back on the road I will bite the same bullet.

They took her to the hospital today. Miss her already. My brother was talking about taking the kids to DC for the cherry blossoms this weekend. I really wanted to take the spyder.

Thanks for all the support. I got her back Friday night (4/12/2013). I ended up getting the housing replaced. It was $615 including the flatbed transport. An expensive lesson to be sure but a good lesson for me. When I work on the bike, I work on the bike. No multi-tasking. Do it right and take the time to do it right.
