    Just got back from myrtle beach bike wk sunday. I just want to say i rode round trip 1480 miles and my 2014 rts was amazing.i counted around 60 other spyders. It was a lot of fun, just wanted to give the rts alittle cred. There is alot of people having problems maybe i have a good one. i had it wapped before i left will take pictures soon and post. Thanks for all the info.

    I doubt that there are "a lot" of people having problems with the '14 and later RTs. It's just the nature of forums like this that folks who have problems report them on venues such as this while many of those who don't have any difficulties just quietly motor on. Many of the problems reported here are the result of lousy dealer set up or dealer failure to really go to bat with BRP for the owner.

    I purchased a used 2013 RT-S in September with 4700 miles. I've now put 8000 trouble free miles on it. Love it.
