Great video and will be of great help to many. I only have one comment that might make things easier or less time consuming for some. On the F3 there is no need to remove any body panels to change the oil or filter. One can reach the oil filter cap and pull the filter easily with the panels in place. Done a larger number of F3 oil changes just this way. The RT needs the panels removed. I know many folks find those F3 side panels a real challenge to remove and replace without damaging the threaded inserts.

This is true but it's so tight that I say why fight it. It's not a big deal to pull the panel, maybe getting it back on but I have a video tip for that too.

Torque on Bolts?

Well I guess one of the questions that need to be addressed is: what are the torque specs :shocked: when putting the oil drain bolts back in their proper holes ?????? Just don't wanna over tighten on the metal washer on the 6 mil bolt or crush any washers on the 45 mil.:helpsmilie:

All that info is in your manual that came with your Spyder.

F3 oil change

Why do you recommend raising the bike. It appears to me you have room to remove the drain plug with a tray under to catch the oil? Thanks

​You would need a very low tray to get it under the F3. Better to raise the Spyder to give you more room to work.
