Reading the Operator's Guide Book it does not say you need to have the Spyder serviced by a dealer/workshop etc,
or am I missing something ?
If not does this mean we can do our own basic oil changes etc without any warranty claim problems.

In my owners manual it shows which task that owner can do and which must be done by an authorized service spyder dealer. All I recall that we can do ourselves is the oil change.

Just keep a log of what you did and when including all the receipts for the oil, filters etc. so that when you do have a warranty issue, you can prove you are doing the right thing. Include tyres / distances too.
