Where to find the RT-L Air filter - it's not where my Owner's Manual suggests!

While on a ride yesterday, a rock truck pulled out in front of me from a limestone quarry. He was blowing fine limestone powder out from his truck and I was stuck behind him for far too long. My Spyder was a dusty mess when I got home, so I figured that I'd better check my air filter to see if it needed cleaning or replacement. I had never done this before, so I relied on the Owners Manual for guidance. It said to remove the right service panel to access the air filter. I looked and looked and even removed the rest of the tupperware on the right side looking for the filter housing. No Luck. I put it all back together and decided to see what the 2024 Can-Am Service Manual that I had bought and downloaded had to say. Right there it was in the maintenance instructions. Remove the LEFT service panel to access the air filter. To avoid a senior moment in the future I drew a line through "right" in the owners manual and printed LEFT above it. The filter looked like new by the way. Only a small amount of dust blew out with the air compressor.

The Proof-readers and translators are not always at the top of their game at BRP. They are also known to get lazy and just cut and paste information from previous models, even if it doesn't fit. Glad you found the right information. Too bad you can't just change the filter on your lungs and get rid of that duct.

Confusion comes sometimes by the method of right side vs left side as to how it is perceived. That is standing in front of bike as opposed to sitting on bike.
