Oil change

[Clary]

I ride the RSS 2011. I have been told it is a hard job to do the oil change on my spyder.I have always changed it on my previous bikes and know the basic of doing it. Is it that hard a job ?thanks.

Not hard at all. You need to remove some of the Tupperware. The piece under the engine is the hardest. I modified mine so I don't have to remove it again. It is only hard because you cannot see the push pins very well.
Two places to drain oil. Plus the filter. Changing the filter will make an oily mess. If you have the SE version, there are two filters to change.

I just did it on my 2014 ST. It was easy!

Read your operator's guide, pages 88-90 for tupperware removal and 94-98 for oil and filter changes. Buy supplies from BajaRon.

Not a problem...

it is not a hard job. Take your time and after the first one it will be a snap. Owners manual shows how but you will see as you do it. As mentioned if you have the semi auto you will change two filters. They are different sizes and its best to change them one by one cause the cover screws are different and can get mixed up causing problems in reassembly...:thumbup:
