I Pulled It All Apart!! • A New 2020 Spyder RT-LTD! | TheSmoaks Vlog_1554

[@billcaldwell977]

Another great video. Can't wait to get my new Spyder home and take off all the Tupperware to see what's underneath. To me that's part of the enjoyment and just see what's changed in the new 2020. Thank you for addressing that manual and the belt idler pulley. BC

[@chrismills4213]

You are the best, taking a new Spyder and showing us what’s involved with servicing the bike.👌👍This is one of the reason I watch this channel....just plain awesome. Always love the tech, especially when it’s a Spyder😉Thanks man...just loving the new Spyder’s 😁 Keep them coming😁😁

[@rodneywright2577]

Thanks for the instruction . Not many people would take a new Spyder apart just to show how it’s done . I have a 2010 RT . Will not buy another one . Just to hard to work on . Thanks again for all what you do . I watch them all . May God bless your hole family.

[@markhenry192]

You must have similar if not the same weather us us here in Blighty. Never seen so much water in my garden. Anyway Spring is around the corner. Thanks guys

[@BKsn00py]

Like I said in your last video ... I don't own a Spyder but find your instructions very interesting. You have to admit this work you did this weekend is going to make your pay day a little easier. One thing about working on mechanical equipment, many a weekend day I would be going over a manual to prep myself for the coming week. Nothing like getting the real job done with prior knowledge. Great video. I've been awake since midnight and had to back up your video a few times catching myself closing my eyes. lol

[@TJRohyans]

I wouldn't dream of disassembling my Eluder without a service manual even though I'd like to in order to dampen some squeaks and rattles! It's put together similarly with pins, screws, and tabs. With the days getting a little longer again maybe you'll find enough time for an after work ride? It's early, but it ain't bright and there's fog! Sipping coffee waiting for the work to begin. Have a great day. Peace and love.

[@howtosellyourcustomprinted7483]

I like it a lot more when you show HOW you do the taking apart, but it's a lot more work for you, I understand.

[@g4dan1]

Thanks for the show and tell. Keep doing them. They help those of us who would have a pro do the work but, it guides us in the direction of what’s right and proper. It’s a nice of spending a rainy afternoon here in the PacNW. 🤔🌦

[@N3RPB]

Thank you for taking time on your weekend to show us how to get at the inside of the Spyder.

[@josephchappell9259]

Just a heads up. The only panel that needs to be removed is the service panel on the passenger side of the bike. Pop that off, slide brake fluid reservoir out of the way. Then remove oil filter. The driver side service panel can be removed for servicing the air filter. No tools required except for the 6mm allen for the drain bolt on passenger side, the T45 for the driver side drain plug, and the 36mm oil filter socket for oil filter housing. Just trying to help!

[@christopherabram7087]

You keep doing what you do!

[@jeanmorin4580]

Wow, my favorite bike, presented by my favorite Spyder guy, on my birthday! Couldn't wish for more! :D Thanks Shawn!

[@jamesgruhn-n0dfi647]

Maybe you can get a ride in this week. We are inching our way toward spring.

[@albertosbrolla8424]

Thanks for the brp training! A few more classes and I’m ready to start work! Lol. Hope all is well!👍

[@harryparmley1193]

Great class on taking the Spyder apart. Makes me appreciate my '18 RTL, the '20 seems a little more complicated. As for the belt dampener, I felt vibration at 72-75mph right from day one, and it is/was a common malady among our fellow riders. I guess if you're cruising 60-65mph all day it is no real issue, but out here in the desert 75 is leisurely cruising. Ha..! Maybe BRP finally got to the root of the problem... Another great Spyder day. Be safe tomorrow (yesterday)..!

[@hurleywilson7246]

Beautiful area. Looks so peaceful.

[@ES44AC-2]

Thats crazy about the ice in August...

[@pidjones]

Glad that changed for 2021.

[@rodad99]

Thank you !!

[@Doug_Morgan]

And that my dear Watson is why I like working on my Harley. You don't have layers of plastic to remove like my Yamaha to get at things.

[@garthhowe297]

I was envisioning seeing another KZbin video on doing service on a new car ... all you need to do is remove the hood, left front fender, left front strut, and then the fender liner... and voila.. the oil filter is right there... ha ha. I like doing my own work, but I don't think I would want to service my own Spyder.

[@luvledzep6786]

Awesome Shawn !! Thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍👍💯

[@petertrapani8701]

Shawn and Kelly great vlog the tech talk on the Spyder enjoy your week. Be Cool and Ride Safe🇺🇸🏍🐶

[@vikenwellman7888]

I do miss the spyder rt. Only had it for a year. Wife wanted a Harley freewheeler instead. So when I get to old to hold two wheels I’ll get the spyder for me.

[@ghostpepperrides4805]

Great video. You showing all of us helps. Some (many) will not attempt this. You just did some self training and makes you a better technician.

[@Walts-Travel]

Well you got some us out that shelf. Good stuff Shawn. 👊😎

[@russcoaus2043]

Hi u2 great vid thanks Shawn and Kelly great video you learn something every day🇦🇺👍

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Thanks Russell!!

[@Den-nu6pv]

would it be ok to use plexus plastic cleaner for cleaning the spyder thanks and thank you so much for showing us how to do some of the basics on these things GOD BLESS

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Plexus would be fine for your Spyder, but be careful on flat painted surfaces, as it could cause an undesirable gloss look... Thanks Den!!

[@kenbaldwin4951]

Can you explain more how remove and install the RH Deflector (largest piece)

[@manueldiaz-hb4tg]

Can u please show us how to extend the wires on the extended handle bars

[@robhowen]

Thank you and I wish you had actually shown the actions required to remove the panels.

[@user-sd6qx8sb5v]

rob I agree the Smoaks make very good videos, but this didn’t show the side panels coming apart. It would be nice to see a panel by panel removal. It’s now Jan. 2021 and there still isn’t a good video on a 2020 RTL, COME ON SMOAKS WE DEPEND ONYOU!

[@lloydmedley1087]

Thanks great tips too know on how too do it...love that 2020

[@RGSABloke]

Shawn, thanks for the look see, very interesting even to a guy with a 1250 Kalamata. Regards to Kelly. Joe.

[@wendeannethomas793]

If you can unbolt the floorboards (because there are rails like on the F3), can you then install pegs? I so miss the F3 pegs!!

[@-jackinspokane6648]

Thanks again so very much for the inside view of my Spyder. I hope both the future customers and ProCal appreciates your off-duty training. I sure do. Did I hear you say the first service was 3K miles? What would you say the brake-in milages would be? that's the time when you can 'ride it as if you stole it', LOL. Take care you two. Sure see why Kelly loves you so much. Ride like you are invisible. And I never assume I have the right away. -JackinSpokane.

[@TwoIndians]

I would have loved to see you actually removing the panels and show which areas to pull, push. unscrew, etc

[@peterlee5463]

While you have panels off can you show location of CAM POSITION SENSOR

[@RubensMateusPadovezeArquimago]

Thanks for showing Spider's inside🇧🇷

[@JimsTrikeAdventures]

That's cool to see it come apart. I am looking for a away to wire my GPS. Need 12 Volts. Did direct to the battery, but need it to turn off with the key. Goldwing was easy, has a accessory lead right on the battery. No so on the 2020 RT. Any Ideas?

[@fullmoon2614]

Very good young man. Just let's me know, leave the professional stuff to you professionals. Lol. Really hate your weather today. I need you to R I D E!!! We'll keep wishing for better weather days as this too shall pass. Stay safe and I'll keep the webs hanging until sunshine!!!

[@lesaprime3257]

Where is the coolant reservoir?

[@BenyQuinonez]

I personally wouldn't mind some rain. Maybe that's just me,haha

[@mij222]

I am new to the spyder world and trying to learn all I can your Channel is awesome keep up the great work I also have a question I am picking up my first spyder next week 2020 RT limited and wanted to know when the first oil change should be performed I asked the dealer they told me 600 miles and a cost of 399.00 which is really high. They are a new dealer and just started selling them this year I am their first Spyder sale I asked them how the alignment was they told me it was fine but they do not have a Laser alignment equipment so I am worried it was not checked. I trust you Shawn so that is why I am asking you when should the first Oil change and what service should be done?

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

The 1st service is at 3,000 miles..! No oil change is needed, nor recommended prior to that. Please follow the maintenance schedule outlined in the owners manual once you receive the unit. Don't worry about the alignment until you can find someone with good experience performing laser alignments on Spyders, as they're very close out of the box. Thanks Jim!!

[@mij222]

@@TheSmoaksVlogs Thank you for the information

[@ecv4647]

Thanks for the show and tell , yes the weather is lousy on the east coast as well. Don't fool with Mother nature, as the old saying goes. Question - Is there more than 1 oil Drain plug. Also can you show how the side mirror is removed. Thanks Again.

[@michaelvarle8848]

How do you keep your radio on you bite without starting it up

[@kurtfirestone2761]

Did they change the front end on that as far as shocks or sway bar

[@dwilsonxray]

I like your videos a lot ,I just got a question, I've got a 2020 rt what size speakers are in the front

[@edcochran1]

My gauge cluster came loose. How do I access the back of the gauge cluster?

[@bedowfamily102]

Would be nice if you showed how things actually came apart

[@rodad99]

Thank you

[@rickh9306]

Shawn: I am thinking about buying a 2020 RT. Have they "fixed" the issue of the zip ties being used to hold body panels together. I saw that in one of your other videos and was quite surprised by this somewhat Mickey Mouse way of installing the panels. Thanks...Rick H.

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Oh yeah, those incorrectly molded panels are a long forgotten memory now..! Lol The ones that came with them have been replaced. Before the replacement panel arrived, all the new bikes were coming with them from the factory. A very short lived issue... Thanks Rick!!

[@namraj1]

With approximately a year and a half of experience, have you determined if there is a case for adding the belt tensioner to the 20 or 21 RT or RT limited?

[@claudiocoreggioli6294]

[@georgebrzeczka3554]

It's sorry about your mess but it seems like a bit of Work 2a lot of us that explains a lot of things that we didn't quite understand either. I have a 2021. Does it seem easier to The way it's set up now. Compare to the elder models. Why is there a valve under the seat I'm assuming it's for the shock? Don't the RT LIMITED Have a self Leveling shock!

Dag on...I hope the GM at Pro Caliber don't watch the videos. 😆
