New Service Panels

[fastfraser]

I was in at my dealer and decided to get the new oil filter and tranny filter kit and asked if I needed them to do the oil change to get the new service panels and low and behold the skies opened and they said NO so I whipped out my BRP coupon and walked out with the panels . Thanks Two Wheel Motorsports .:thumbup: So I stripped the Spyder down pulled the drain plugs, lubed the A arms installed the new filters and cover, added the oil reinstalled the panels including the new panels and next oil change I will easily save at least 1 hour in panel removal / replacement .Great development from BRP. It always amazed me that to start the oil change the first thing I did was remove the mirror .:dontknow:

Did you have that Grillework for the left side laying on the refuse pile?
I've been told that it'll fit over on the right side if you are so inclined...
:thumbup:
Or if you're NOT using it....

:yikes: One hour for panel removal and replacement? !!! :yikes:

Even when I do both sides and take my time it doesn't take me more than 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off. You just have to practice more! :joke:

 

[Bob Denman]

He said that it'd SAVE an hour of time..

I can remove ALL my body panels in about 1 MINUTE, of course I'll have to buy new panels to put back on....:roflblack:

It can be MADE to fit.
I'd say it was a skill level of 3 or greater.

Mirror removal during oil change

I installed my new side panels this week also. I don't remove mirror or top side panel when I change the oil. I remove the screw by the glove box and pop the two studs out of the grommets of the top panel. I can then remove the middle side panel. I will see how much help it will be now that I won't even have to remove the middle side panel the next oil change next spring.

On a scale of one to one-hundred; my skill level would almost a three... pps:
