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.

Maintenance Schedule
Hi Star Cruiser !
Just got mine in the mail today. You will likely get yours shortly.
If you go to General Discussion look for New Maintenance Schedule there is a copy of the booklet there you could see the details.

New maint schedule
Howdy. I hope this helps clear more than it muddies.
I just left my 2010 RT at Kent Motorsports in Selma, TX. They are going to do the 9300-mile maintenance. (I bought the dealer's service plan.) The tech told me it is the same as what used to be the 9000-mile maintenance. I have 9,755 trouble-free miles on the Spyder.
The "PANEL" is NOT anything related to tupperware. It is a panel below the new filter which makes it easier for the tech to change the filter. Currently, the dealer does not have any...so I am now on a list for later.
The tech also told me it does not apply to RS Spyders.
Hopes this helps. Good ryding.

After posting here yesterday I checked the mail box and surprise there it was my letter and a new maintenance schedule booklet and a letter for a new oil filter access panel. That was fast as I live in Canada :yes:

Dealer didn't know anything yet. I changed the oil in my wife's RT last night. I was trying to figure out what panel it could possibly be that would be universal and not color matched.
BTW, I did the oil change without removing the mirror and top panel. It was no problem. Just had to pull the bottom edge of the top panel out far enough to get the screw in the right hand corner out and the plastic fastener on the top left. I liked it much better going that route.

It's the lower black side panel on the lefthand side of the Spyder. The one that screws in near the foot pegs. My guess is they've added an access door or some way to remove that panel without removing the large panel above it... which in turn would also eliminate the mirror removal.

Looks like the panel discussed in the thread here only pertains to RTs. I have a RS and I received the new maintenance schedule with a 40% coupon for some select RS accessories off which I don't think I really need any. It would have been nice if they had offered 40% off on any accessories. Most probably they hand picked a few which do not sell as much. Also this offer expires 5th Aug (in 3 weeks or so), so not a lot of time on hand. I just did my 6K service last month, so I guess I still have to stick to the old schedule and do the next one at 12K.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I got mine yesterday. I do have a question regarding the new oil filter access body panel. I do my own maintenance (oil changes, plugs, etc.). Do I have to have my dealer perform maintenance (oil change) to receive the new body panel or should I be able to just pick one up? If I have to spend money to have them change my oil the "free" body panel may not be worth it.
I know many others do their own maintenance. What do you think?:dontknow:

the oil filter cover has not changed, the
oil filter now has steel mess around it.
If you have the SE5 then the transmission filter cover has been changed to hold the longer tranny filter.
Not sure about what is in the oil change kits. My dealer has the new SE5 cover and tranny filter packs available. but note this packet did not contain the o-ring had to ask for it seperately
