How about a video for the '012 RT

What size socket for the oil filter cover?

[@user-jq3xq3bd4k]

What year is your Rt I can’t find in the owners manual where it says the mileage for oil change ?

In the interest of full transparency, it would be very helpful if you disclose how you were able to get the third (rear) wheel up onto the ramp. I was unable to drive both the front and rear wheels up onto the ramps. You either get the fronts or the back, but not both. I have already spent the money for two sets of ramps, the oil change kit and all the tools, so I'm stuck like Chuck. Please consider answering the question regarding how you got the rear wheel up onto the ramp. If you used a jack, where did you place it to raise the rear wheel and not damage the spyder? Thank you in advance for your help.

If u can’t figure it out u probably shouldn’t be working on your machine.

[@s.boulware73]

probably easier to back it onto the ramps. you can also just drive it onto the front ramps and jack up the rear

[@Nicholas211]

How did you get the rear tire on that ramp? Do you have to jackup the rear end ?

[@timexperience]

Same question. Some how this is magically accomplished.

[@n6dl321]

me too, I have 3 Rino ramps, the front pair is no issue, forward or backward. but the third seems to be no go. I set up for a backing routine and the fronts reached about 6 inch up ramp and the rear shot forward jamming under frame in front of muffler. oops

[@n6dl321]

maybe because the rear ramp is steel. got one of those too but did not try it. too narrow for rear tire.

[@timexperience]

@@n6dl321when I had this issue I got three small rubber back door mats from Home Depot and placed one under each ramp. It provides the extra grip to keep the ramp in place.

I see he ain’t sharing that info. I’m wondering the same

Hello, I have a 2011 Can-Am Spyder RT. I am stuck on the road. I have a problem with the transmission. It does not transmit. What is the solution? Please help.

[@benfrank1583]

What was the issue?

[@gino82524]

Check your antenna.

Another easy to do oil change designed by engineers who hate the do it yourself customer.
