Year, Model, Miles, Issues...
So many threads about problems, seems to make the RT look like its nothing but trouble. Of course thats the nature of the beast on these forums, so lets see who really does not have any issues. (BTW: this thread offers an exclusion to the law of murphy that states: "as soon as you say you dont have problems, you have problems the next day..."
What year, model, how many miles, and what problems if any have you had? (if no problems, put it in CAPS)
I'll go first, but I have not had mine long.

Must be nice to be problem free 2013 RT 3 weeks old from day one no cruise control and water in my cluster lens....within the first 300 mi. 2 stalls at stop signs one engine over temp & limp mode cleared by shutting down and restarting. All minor so far hopefully it stays that way. Haven't ridden it 7yrs so it is good to be back on a seat and handlebars. I won't say a bike because it simply isn't one it is in a class of it's own. I tell people it is like riding a 100mph ATV with a lot of cool features.

2010 RTS. Almost 18,000 miles, NO PROBLEMS. most people have the newbie problems of how to learn the machine. They always seem to overreact to everything. Foot riding on the brake pedal: OMG got a limp mode ! wonder why? A lot of noise is made on forums by folks shooting from the hip before really checking the issue out. Yes there are problems, as with any new product ,but it is not as wide spread as people make it out to be. Yes there is heat on the right side, ever ride a two wheeler with a large V Twin between your legs? (this doesn't apply to the recent heat issues with the 2013 ST's), again it's a new product, it will get worked out.
Happy Spyderlovers
