Spyder RT Twin Oil Change! - Smoak Winter Vlog! | ShopTalk & Vlog_001 

Thanks Shawn from me as well. This helped me step though an oil change on a 2013 RTS SE5, which did have differences of filters and shifting mechanisms BUT I used this vlog and the owners manual to step through the process with great success. I did discover in reassemble that the 2013 has the “quick access” panel you noted so next time it will be faster. I used a BRP oil change kit and it was smooth, but long process of 3hrs 20min from parking the Spyder to riding it post oil change. It was a lot more involved than and of the 2 wheel motorcycles I’ve owned since 1975. Thanks again, bb

This video is perfect. Made my first oil change so easy. I had watched and read about doing this and was a bit nervous, however Shawn describes it perfectly. Also he doe sit on a SM5 manual version which is what I have. I will now be able to do my oil changes easily and save a lot of money.

Another awesome video. Here in NS my dealer charges $75 CND for the kit but another $150 in labor + 15% TAX! You just saved me a ton of money my friend. I'm going to pick myself up a kit and some ramps and do it myself. One of the reasons I've been thinking of switching to a Ryker is they seem so much easier to work on but my 2010RTS is still running great at 99,000kms.

Good voice sound on the video. I am impressed with how clean and meticulous you do your work. It shows you take pride in it. Very interesting to see this process, keep 'em coming.

I really like this format Shawn. Really cool to see that oil change. Lots of work to change fluids on a Can-Am. Wow. You're getting really comfortable with the camera pointed on you and it shows. Really smooth. Easy to watch and interesting. Thanks for taking is along!!

Nice thorough explanation/guide. I too am a Can Am technician and it's nice to see other techs doing good work! I see units come in a lot where either the customer screwed something up or another dealer did. Have to take your time with spyders their are a lot of steps.

Yet another great video. This particular one is great because the format in which you habitually use has gone away. and that is a good thing. Change is good. New camera angles. New content. I like the maintenance videos. I learn new things and not just new verbal content like many of your previous videos. Keep on changing up your channel. It would appear what there is always something new on your channel. I wish someone had bought that Sportster Hugger and then gave it to you. You really seemed to enjoy that bike. Keep the videos coming Shawn. And good job.

Thank you for the detailed video especially the torque settings as I could only find ##nm for the sump bungs and not the housings. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍

I Really like How you are very attentive to what you are doing when you are working on the Bikes, I appreciate The fact you clean the bike as you are working on it. When I had my 1200 iron, I never did any work on it outside of cleaning and the Mechanic at the Shop I went to was a lazy slob and his Work reflected it. I always had to clean the bike because there was always oil smudges on the bike one spot or another. Hope You get where you can do more at work Tech video's. I enjoy watching them. Would Have loved seeing you change the rear shock on that Spyder, along with the tire. Anyhow Awesome Stuff Shawn.

I liked your vids even before watching, the sound was good could hear you perfectly, it's great how you put the torque figure up and you don't use a torque wrench but you've most probably been doing it for so long that you know the feel of it. Great vid as always love watching these as I get to learn more (not as good as you lol)

Thanks for the oil change vid :) at work we have a system for each persons music choice they each get their own day for their particular flavor of music :)

Enjoyed the video! Do miss the bikes! Hopefully you got a chance to ride "The Most Hideous Bike" before the weather turned crappy! :)

first off yes it's reminding me to like the video.because most of the time I'm excited to watch and listen to your blog and forget to do it. now I have to agree about the loud music in the shop. I would have already talked to him and asked nicely for him to either turn it down or head phone phone it. I always wore head phones at work.and everyone else did as well.they wouldn't let us play open music radios because it caused arguments.so the guy is going to ruin it for all if he doesn't turn it down. now on to your vlog. love watching you servicing the spyders.having my F3s it means more and is very interesting to see what all is involved. as I've said just had my 3000 Mile service done.and I think my belt and chain were loose because it was so much more smooth and snappy when I took off after the service.seem to run smoother all the way around.its semi-auto and it seem to shift smoother. at about 62 mph it had a bad vibration and it seems to be gone.i forgot to tell them when I took it for service.but i guess it was something they did during service that corrected it. I really enjoy the way your talking to us with camera on you now to.seems great to see you while your chatting to us. was hoping to see you lift the trunk off and replace the shock and maybe tire . so if you get the chance sometime.throw that in a vlog if you don't mind.heck anything you do to one is cool to watch. thanks Shaun

Nice job my friend. You know your recreational equipmentr

Hi Iv been watching your videos for ages Finley got round to subscribing. I live in Australia

Vid turned out great. I hope you do more of them. Wasn't aware that the thumbs up button was so important. I'll hit it every time for you.

You save me a lot of time by waching your video before trying to change the oil on my 2011 Spyder RT (Standard) Transmission. I was looking at someone's else video and the filter is in the other side on the new modeland mine does not have the second smaller filter and plug. Ran nto a problem that the oil plug under the Oil reservoir appears to be permanenetly locked in place. Overall the oil change is long and tedious but I learned a lot by doing it myself.

I really like the Spyder Tech stuff . I really love my 2015 RTS SM6 ,I already have 2k on it !

Thanks for the video, I now understand the labor rates for an oil change. There is a lot of labor just to get to the oil change area, I wonder if that was an intentional design to help insure you bring it to the dealer for service, LOL.

Enjoyed the maintenance vid, more please

Holy cow this is an old blog! It’s 2023 March!

You make that look so easy. You sure have to remove a lot of panels to get in there. Looks like you'd need a special tool to get those clip things out? Went to fast to get a good look at it I'll have to watch it again and pause it. Who knows some day I may need to know how to do this How dare someone thumbs down one of your videos.

Love the shop video Shawn!!!

Thanks Shawn

Great video. Gonna do my own oil changes on my 2012 RT Limited. Do you have a video on intermitent transmission shift delays? Sometimes my bike will hesitate for 2 or 3 seconds before shifting. Wierd, but it's paddle shift.

Go Pro has a Dash Cam setup so you can set the cam up on the dash, makes it a little safer.

Very informative, you did good job of filming.

Great video and the sound was good.

Music? I hear Death Magnetic in the background.. at 17:23 it sounds like Cyanide... yeah.. I'm a Metallica fan... just a little bit :D It's really simple to make a mount that hangs your camera under the rear view mirror from it's stalk/pedestal. I like the angle it gives you and most people (then again my Sony is a lot harder to see being so slim) never even see it. I've pulled up at the store and people haven't noticed it till they look in my side window. All you need is a little piece of sheet metal and a clam shell pipe clamp and maybe a bit of foam strip to act as a damper/ allow the clamp to grab it instead of marring your rear view. The pics of the mount I made are on my facebook page, minus the clam shell clamp, I still need to get that, I was using a wire loom thing but it doesn't clamp the best. Did they make a twin F3 style one? That'd be cool, the sound of the twin in an exposed frame/engine lighter weight chassis with a manual trans... I guess it's just the hot rodder in me and the fact that I'm a twin kind of guy. I'd say it's because I grew up around Triumphs but my dad's 74 Trident is a 3 cylinder and I don't like how it sounds either.

great video really enjoying your vlog keep it up

Thanks for showing us this and yes that music if that is what it is is really terrible. It looks like it is easier then on the 14 triple which i guess is similar to the 15 you did in your garage before.

Too complicated for me but great job,keep the vids coming

I aware u pull those things apart so darn fast. .. lol I can't even pull my Buell apart as fast as u get through these can ams.

Very informative thank you for you very good videos

love da vlogs,daily vlogs pleaz

Were are you located?

Very surprised BRP doesn't offer bulk oil and filter(s) I would think that would be far more cost effective than using a proper kit every time you do a service.

Get a suc. cup and stick it on the windshield or the dash.. sorry no more bike rides. ´( Wow that is a lot of work for a change oil..

I can't see a reason for a "not like" evaluation..... After-all what is there NOT to like????? Very informative video. The Hero4 worked just fine.

it turned out good

Isn't that an SM5 since it's a manual?

Shawn, I have a 2013 RT Limited and I had to remove the banjo bolt on the oil tank. Can you tell me the torque setting for the banjo bolt? Thank you

Hi I'm a new Spyder owner I have a 2012 RSS with. 4" risers is there anyway of changing them back to standed?

my drain plug is so tight i broke 2 -6mm sockets trying to get her lose-any ideas on how to get her out?

Just watch video I have a spyder just like that one getting ready to change oil in it what size does it take to get the oil filter cap off.... Thanks
