Something reliable.

[rabtech]

Maybe a cooling seat and air conditioner.

[rabtech]

And I hate to say it but maybe a automatic halon system...

Every time I fill up the gas is sizzling on the fuel neck......

[agasperino]

please add an option or a button you can push that makes it drive straight and not hunt from side to side. Something they forgot to do when when they built my 2013 rt limited

[willey]

I guess we were lucky when the red head [my lady friend ] bought her 2013 RTS.I hated the thing for the first 2000 miles.I had a hard time keeping it on the road.She bought it on the 27th of may.We put 700 miles on it and then left for a 5000 mile trip out west.We were on the road over two weeks.45 mph cross winds across Kansas.The bike handled them well.The temp was pushing 100 degrees about every day and my gas tank didn't boil once.THe gas cap was a little warm but not hot.Now I can ride down the interstate 75 or 80 mph and the bike goes straight as an arrow and steady as a rock.I guess it took me that long to learn how to ride that thing.I have been ridding two wheels for the last 50+ years and I am 73 years old.All I can say is I think it is a great machine and I love to ride it.I still have and ride my 1300 Yamaha road star.The check engine light came on,we shut it off and restarted back up and every thing wea fine.Must have been made on a wed.

[twain]

I agree Freddy. My wish is to get my 2013 ST out of the shop and rideable.

[Saluda]

no matter when and no matter what it costs there will still be complaints.

[Mo Lee]

How about a BIGGER, SMOOTHER, more POWERFUL engine!

[Bob Denman]

Tick... Tick... Tick...

I'm starting to get the rash that Scotty (NancysToy) has... must be a contagious allergy out there called MIS-INFORMED DEALER-ITIS!!!

I own a 2013 RT-S and I was having the same issue. Told the dealer's tech... change in the ball joints and now I have a rYde that goes straight as an arrow... on the interstate going 75mph I can let go of both hands (not that I encourage it), and I jog a few seconds.

Others have had the balljoints replaced, and some has gone as far as getting the machine aligned, swapped tires and shocks... and eventually it got corrected.

Please... go to your dealer(s) let them know that this is not right, and have them make it. If they snub you or give you the "it's normal" line... find another dealer!

[Bob Denman]

that's not about release dates; it's about proper training.
Let's hope that BRP can find a way to ensure that the folks who work on our bikes, actually know what they're doing!

[fyrertuck]

Well I can tell you my 2012 RT SE5 found me before I was looking for her. So the new one will be fun to look at but as long as she will let me ride her we should have a long ride time together. 30 year of riding and I love this thing.

[rabtech]

I cant complain about anything but the heat. It is freaking hot. The gas sizzling is just something I have to live with. It won't ignite unless there is a spark. Just hope I don't have a static pop.... Other than my chestnuts roasting Im happy with the two 2013 's i have.

[bruiser]

Halon 1301. It's expensive but worth it. Halon hasn't been manufactured since 1994. It's considered a CFC, but is still legal to use.

[Bob Denman]

Could this be some crackpot conspiracy to curb the population growth among motorcyclists??

[Jeriatric]

Is it the most unanticipated model year since the spyder was introduced?

Good recipe for flammable situation. Hopefully your away from ignition source

Very very dangerous. Be careful.

[jerpinoy]

Get rid of the belt and replace it with drive shaft. Better gas mileage, better access panels. easy diy maintenance.

Well considering CFC production was outlawed in '94, seems like a long shot.

Shaft drive for the spyder is likely not too far away. For several reasons. imho

[ARtraveler]

A point to ponder.

The 2014's will be an opportunity for BRP to redeem themselves from the issues that popped up on the 2013's.

Many people have reported no issues, but our site has been filled with complaints about a lot of mechanical issues. IMO: a lot of potential buyers may not go to a 2013--just in case. There may be some real deals available on holdover 2013's when this season ends.

If the 2014's do not have the issues of the 2013's, I think it will be onwards and upwards. If problems persist--then--there may be some problems for the brand.

[Bob Denman]

We'll all know more, once some actual information starts getting to us...
Then; we'll just have to wait for the actual owners to start singing...

Gasoline will auto ignite around 450 F degrees....you don't need a spark....
