Been meaning to ask this for a while.......

Hey RT guys- he did post this thread in the Spyder GS/RS SPORT forum. So that right there should have been a dead giveaway that it was not an RT.

Note to self: Read the RED INK @ the top of the page before opening pie hole.

If the only tool you have is a hammer...

Althought I can honestly say I do not have a clue as to what is on the RT handlebars as I only have two GS's.

You have to forgive them. They are kind of slow on the draw, like the RT.

You are cruel.....

[coz]

Another case of RT guys not knowing what they are talking about. There are other models ya know!

Next you will telling him to check the codes by pushing the mode, set and turn cancel buttons at the same time. Again!!!!!

the rt guys are all overcome by the HEAT while attempting to accelerate.

On my 2011 RS-S it is on the RH grip in front of the grip. The manual says you can use it to turn on the headlights without starting the Spyder. It says it will reflect into the frunk to help find stuff, though it seems less than optimal for that purpose because you have to hold it on.

I think it's the big butt on the RT that drags the hot air down the road with them.

The rear switch button on the right side handlebar cluster flashes the head light when the bike is switched off.

Is it supposed to do anything when the bike is running? If not, then what is it's intended purpose?

that button is so you can lite-up the FRUNK at nite.... open the frunk, n press that button... you'll see that the lite reflects off the inside of the frunk hood into the frunk....
gr8 idea if u ax me....

I thought it was for signaling other drivers. Like flashing your lights twice to say "It's ok to merge in front of me" or flashing your lights to say "There's a speed trap ahead."

Either that; or it's for the passenger ejection seat activation...

Joe,
I've told you before... You cannot hang out in the Ladies' Room ... you'll be accused of being a Masher!

OK, we have taken enough gruff from the Sport Bike Section.

Thanks to everyone who answered my query.....even the RT guys! You have to hand it to them, they only wanted to help me out.
Many people over the years have said that I need help....
It's quite comforting to know that the humble RS-S has something that the RT doesn't!!
(Even if it doesn't really work unless there's two of you!) I carry an LED torch in my jacket pocket anyway.

Off topic Alert!! ( It's my thread and I'll put what I want in it...so there!!)

I do think that when the guys who've upgraded to the 1330 triple RT's get them on a good long run
they're going to find that they're a fair bit quicker than the V-Twins were.
However I'm going to sit and wait before I jump onto that particular bandwagon because I think at some point
the 1330 is going to give way to the 1503!! That's right! For those of you that didn't know: Rotax make a 1503 triple
that is currently used in the latest SeaDoos....200odd bhp! Take a look:

Thanks again to you all.....it is appreciated.

Ooh!
That makes PERFECT sense!
Think how much safer the bike will be with all of that unnecessary weight removed from the cylinder walls..
It'll handle MUCH better!!
(Chevrolet engineers actually tried to use this argument to upper management, when they bored out the 390 to a 427... They didn't buy it! 0

Bob,

Are you sure that wasn't the 396? I know there was a Ford 390.

Okay, back on track.

[Bob Denman]

Yup! I don't know how I managed to mangle up that fabled number...
May the gods of horsepower forgive my transgression...

[Cruzr Joe]

RTS 1330 Raw Power, yeah we bad ..

[DrewNJ]

The 1503 is a totally different motor than the 1330. The 1503 has been around since late 2002 and NA makes anywhere from 130-155hp depending on platform. Supercharged versions make up to 260hp stock and guys in the know, push them easily well over 300hp very reliably. It's an extremely well built motor that responds nicely to mods.

While it would be nice, I highly doubt your going to see the 1503 in the spyder.

[Bob Denman]

But it IS fun to dream...

[Motorcycledave]

If it is the one I think you are asking about... I have one on mine and was told
that it is there so at night when you have the trunk lid up and push the button it
lights up the inside of the trunk... or bonnet if you will... is that the one?
