Can Am Spyder RT Service, HCM/Transmission Filter and Fuel filter Change

Servicing my Spyder befor a trip. I changed to Amsoil and BajaRons HCM filter and Oil Filter kit.
You can order from BajaRon by emailing him what Spyder you have and what you need. His email is [e-mail]
I also purchased a wix 33095 fuel filter from amazon: www.amazon.com...
Here is a link to a hose clamp kit that comes with the pliers to crimp them:

Man, I will NEVER complain about servicing my GoldWing again! Informative and thorough. Well done.

[@ItsYoursOWNIT]

Lol, Thanks for watching.

[@borntobewild846]

Except if someone overtightened the rear fill plug on the Gl1800. Ugly.

[@rickcockream513]

Really enjoy your videos. I am even using your techniques when servicing my 2014. Thanks for your tutorials, they sure are crisp and clear to the point.

[@ItsYoursOWNIT]

Thanks, if you haven’t found the part number for the transmission side drain plug, here it is: www.cheapcycleparts.com/oemparts/p/can_am/420241780/magnetic-drain-plug-m12-x-1-5 I keep one of each on hand because I’ve seen where they are prone to stripping.

[@rickcockream513]

Thank you, I did find the part after my posting. Therefore I edited that part of my message out. Mine has seen better days and will need replacing probably with the next oil change. I will surely keep this link handy as well. Never can have too many sources.

[@onmyspyder5113]

Thanks for the detailed video as always. When I want to do some kind of service to my Spyder I always look you up first, thanks again . appreciated.

[@jesseamaya4594]

Old vid but I had to comment. Just did my 3K break in service on my f3s using lamonster garages kit. Did the tranny filter too as well as installing a K&N air filter. All I can say is the machine sounds a lot happier now. Was not hard at all but I work on industrial air compressors for a living so there is that. Last note, I was able to do the oil filter without removing the brake reservoir, just need to be patient and careful.

[@geep5109]

Great Stuff! getting ready to do mine too. thanks for that. And love the old goldwing....man after my own heart. cheers

[@99shadows66]

After watching your video, I have a new respect for the technicians who service and repair these machines. I can see why the labor rates are what they are. Step 1: disassemble 3/4 of the body to change the needed part. Thank you for posting. BTW: Can you tell us where you acquired the service manual you use?

[@dannysdailys]

Nice job. Don't forget to depressurize the fuel line now. LOL Yeah, Can Am, let's make this as hard as we can. I wouldn't have done it either. Let it spray. LOL I think you have me talked into it, taking care of my own machine. The nearest Can Am dealer is 30 miles away and full of hacks. They couldn't even add a charger cable to the battery without burning it up. The good cycle shops would be learning on mine. I'd rather learn on it first. Like I said, I've been a gearhead for many decades. I even got a mini roll away tool box for it. I also picked up the fuel filter and clamps. Yeah, I don't like cutting those clamps off either. LOL I also don't like tiny hose clamps either. They kink unless they're perfect. I like that your machine is right at the point of needing this work. And it'll all be on video. Mine is 2 years old and only has 1,300 miles on it. But, I was sick last year and only had August when it was in the 90's. Problem is, this has to compete with my 02 Prowler roadster. Both need perfect weather. You should split up your pages and group the service videos in one section. Just a thought. Do I really need Buds and have to renew it every year? For ONE machine? Keep up the good work. Danny J

[@michaelpotts7256]

I was getting ready to ask the exact same question about the service manual.

[@zedacruja681]

i have no spyder yet LOL but i am learning when i get one i am ready,,,,,,any ideas , stander or automatic,,,i always drove stander cars,i love stander and fuel consumption its better....i wanna find LOW KMS... the years its not to important as long its 2014 this way,,or up.....Very nice job you did,,,thank you for my part.

[@ItsYoursOWNIT]

ze da Cruja I can’t say which is better between SE6 or the SM6. I have never ridden a manual but if you prefer manual, that is what you should get. The transmissions are the same btw. The electronic controlled version just controls the clutch and shifting so there is no difference in fuel mileage. Thanks for watching and good luck with your search. 👍

[@trailerparkcryptoking5213]

What’s a stander?

[@ItsYoursOWNIT]

He is referring to a standard (manual) transmission

Did my wife's 3K mile service on her 2018 F3 last night ...oil change/filter change, spec check, etc. - used Baja Ron's kit and AMSOIL, too :0) Quick question - where did you get the wheel ramps?...me likey very much

[@charmainereynolds7225]

funny question. Is there a right or wrong way when it comes to putting the fuel filter back on.

[@chrismills4213]

Love the videos….they are really informative. Why the shift to amsoil? Brp stuff is about 70 percent synthetic….

[@markfitzgerald7556]

Thanks for the information

[@renniey]

On my 2018 F3-LTD the instructions say to run the bike up to full operating temp, then idle for at least 10 minutes before checking oil? Something to do with the dry sump??? Is it different for your 1330???

[@ItsYoursOWNIT]

My owners manual says to get it to operating temp and let idle for 30 seconds, shut off and check. I have heard to let idle for two fan cycles before checking if you can't ride it (winter time). Or just ride it for 10 miles or so. I think idling for 10 minutes is about how long it takes to get up to operating temperature.

[@davesgarage78]

I spot a Cavalcade. Not many of us Cade owners out there.

[@rickbeardsley8057]

It must cost a fortune to have the service done on this thing. You have to rebuild the thing just to service it.

[@borntobewild846]

With the $125 oil change kit from the dealership, you're close to $350 for a routine oil change if you let them do it

[@donaldmckoy6678]

Great 🎥!! Can you buy a onwers manuel I'm going to need all the help I can get😂🤣

[@AFPF7982]

[@johnrichardcleland4493]

How did you get that right floor boaed to drop down? Thanks

[@borntobewild846]

When you went with the Amsoil, did you notice any difference in the shifting or smoother engagement? I am just not getting used to that clunking when it goes into 1st or R from neutral. Thanks for the video.

[@norbertotorres262]

Sir you are a very patience man.so the engine oil and trasmission oil are the same ? and where did you get the cup holder

[@steveedwards6451]

What was the small torque wrench that you used.. And how high does the wrench go? Most 1/4" ones that I see go to 200 in lbs, and I need 21 ft lbs which would be 252 inch lbs for the sump drain plug.

[@michaelholt9350]

I really like your channel, where can I get the shop manual for my 2016 RT? I have looked everywhere and the one you have is the one I want. Where can I get one?

[@sammielynch2552]

Question, did you use BUDS to disable having to hit the mode button on startup or do you know a trick that you want to share with us on how you started it without having to hit mode button?

[@ItsYoursOWNIT]

sammie lynch I had my ECU flashed and one of the options is to be able to start it as soon as the key is turned on. The mode screen still comes on and I still have to hit the mod button to get past the startup screen. Very observant of you. 😀 Thanks for watching

[@thekellerfam4162]

I have a 2015 F3S SE-6. Do I need to do the HCM every oil change? Or what is the intervals? It has 4,300 miles on it. I'm doing the oil change this weekend and didn't know if I should do the HCM while I'm in there? Thanks!!

[@ItsYoursOWNIT]

No, the HCM (transmission) filter is a 28,000 mile service item

[@user-oc5rw8te2y]

What is the benefits of Amaoil?

[@Spikey45633]

Don't know if you are still respond ing to this or not, but wondering if any update on the oil switch to Amsoil. Also, wanted your opinion on big blue lift. I don't do as much maintenance as you but wondering if you ever considered one? Thanks

[@michaelholt9350]

Quick question, how did it start on the initial startup after the fuel filter change? I didn't see you push the brake pedal.

[@ItsYoursOWNIT]

Michael Holt, if it is in neutral with the park brake on, you don’t have to push the brake.

[@deannonieoakes5055]

Have you change the spark plugs yet? I am debating whether it is worth doing a 45,000kms.

Do you know if a 2013 with the 998 motor is the same service? Great video, thanks.

[@ItsYoursOWNIT]

All of the body work will be same on the 2013 but the 998 and 5 speed transmission do not use the same filters. The service interval for the 998 is every 4500 miles as opposed to 9000 for the 1330.

[@michaelwilliams1294]

Thank you

[@jamesmickley4381]

Whats the reason your changing to Amsoil ? Because XPS is hard to get, oil change kit has everything except enough oil?,and the price is Nuts!??

[@ItsYoursOWNIT]

The XPS oil says it is synthetic blend but they don’t advertise what percentage the blend is. I use full synthetic in all of my vehicles and just want to do the Same in my Spyder. I get my filter and o rings from Baja Ron. This is just my preference. The XPS kit does come with enough oil, you have to make sure you’re not overfilling it by following the procedure when checking the oil.

[@jamesmickley4381]

Hey Chris, I have a question about oil change of electric trans. I own the same 2014 Can Am as yours. Lady friend of mine liked it so much she bought a used one from a dealer in MN. It was a trade in, in very nice shape. Bike has 47,000 miles on it. Dealer put new tires on it, new belt, changed oil and filter and fixed leaking air valve in suspension. Runs and drives great! I'm getting ready to change oil and filter in engine and trans on mine (29,000) miles and on hers, there is no way of knowing if Hers was ever changed! There is not 300 miles on her dealer oil change, so I'm wondering if I can just drop the oil on trans side, then just add the right amount back to engine side??, or will all the oil just run out since it serves both engine and trans?? Hoping to maybe save some of the $75 cost of oil. Thanks, James

[@ItsYoursOWNIT]

@@jamesmickley4381 the engine and transmission share the same oil so you really need to drain all of it. The two plugs, engine and transmission, are just the two low points.

[@natekasinger2678]

I didn't see you put any transmission fluid in

[@ItsYoursOWNIT]

It uses the engine oil for everything.

[@AFPF7982]

The engine oil is the trans oil, same dip stick. If engine is good trans is good. don't you people read your O&M Manual !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@markcush5621]

What did you mean by buds system?

[@ItsYoursOWNIT]

B.U.D.S (BRP Utility and Diagnostic Software) is the diagnostic program and interface that dealer technicians use to work on Spyders. There is a procedure using buds when changing the HCM filter to purge the hcm of air. I did not use that procedure because I know not very many Spyder owners have BUDS and I have read that it is not really necessary.

Hey I have a 2012 spyder rs se5 , when shifting up the transmission seems to be slipping. Downshifts automatically fine. Just did an oil change , you think the tranny fluid could be low ? Or replace paddle shifter? I’m not sure where the transmission fluid is

[@ItsYoursOWNIT]

They use the engine oil for everything. I haven’t ever been around the two cylinder spyders. Are you following the owners manual instructions for checking the oil level? On the 1330’s you have to have them at normal operating temperature, shut it off and immediately check the oil level.
