Thank you, I will compare it to mine. I know yours should have the updated gauges, but that should help.
If it is any thing like my 2020.
Windshield, mirrors, console trim, side panels, console panels,console trim, tank panel, remove 4 screws from gauge cluster and disconnect gauge cluster then you can lift it enough to do your wires.
I added the cruise control last year, and just changed out my left hand switch as the paddle shifter was failing and getting ready to do my fuel filter.

You may want to take advantage of this opportunity to change the fuel filter while you have everything off.

Thank you, now I just need to order the part.
I have the printed copy but not sure what area tells me the process of removing panels . Sorry, I am new to Spyders; I came from HD, where everything was exposedAnother option is to buy the Acrobat PDF copy of the Repair and Maintenance Manual for your Spyder.

BRP hasn't made aircraft in nearly 20 years. BRP parted from Bombardier, Inc., in the early 2000's. That stated, it still is a crappy way to attach a panel. I've broken the itty-bitty tab at the corner off of the panel, scratched paint, etc. In a new state, the tab will release easier. As soon as one begins riding the machine, it gathers enough road dust to change the friction level between the catch and latch surfaces. Even it I didn't use my "tool", I would spray a soapy mix in that area to provide a bit of lubrication to facilitate the release.Sad to think a company that makes aircraft, puts panels together this way.
Sir, I am at a crossroads.

Turn the round plastic around the key counter clockwise about a quarter turn, then pull the circular piece out, that will release the rest of the trim around the keyway.

Do You have an F3 or RT?
Thank you, I took a break from it, said a few prayers and came back to it and after removing the white clip and finagling with that thick heat wrap I got it out but still took more prying that I would like on a plastic electrical connector. My new housing is set for delivery today.
