From a previous theread it does come supplied with both as new. And the passenger seat matches the driver seat stitching wise I seem to remember.

Yes, it does. Very nice. It actually limits the power output with the seat on. More power with just the cowl.

Doc, do I understand you to say, they detuned the engine with a passenger seat installed.... You gotta be kidding right ? That would be about the most asinine thing I'd every heard if BRP did that....

The Daytona is very flighty with 2 up. I can take a corner just a little above normal speed with my 90 lb grandson on the back and get wheel raise without cranking the throttle much at all.
The way I figured it out was that I was ryding one up with the seat on (no cowl) and I noticed that the byke wasn't a peppy as when I first got it. I pulled the seat and got to looking and there is a large spring loaded disk that the seat sits against and depresses it. When you put the cowl on there is a void where the disk is. I'll take some pictures if anyone is interested. I think it's a liability factor for them and that the Daytona is primarily a one up machine that you can carry someone for a while. Just don't challenge the twisties 2 up.

They also did a sensor on the seat of the RT for a passenger, too.

Wow! I actually thought you were pulling the guys leg with you said that it was detuned with the rear seat on. I guess what you said makes since, but I would have never expected that. I don't know of any other manufacturer that does that.
