I hate to post this because I don't want to have another negative about RT's out there but maybe someone can shed some light on the problem that may help.
I love my new RT Limited but I am experiencing a problem that was not evident on my 2011 RT or with my wife's 2012 Limited.
At about 600 miles I began to notice a slight bounce in the front end around 40-44 mph. It wasn't constant however, just sometimes. When I took it in for the first service they re-aligned the front end as it was (very) slightly out of spec. The bounce was still there.
I returned to the dealer and they balanced both front wheels, test drove it and it was fine. After a few hundred miles the bounce returned but still intermittent.
Today the dealer re-balanced both fronts and the vibration, or bounce is still evident. They are stumped and will be contacting BRP about the problem.
I have written to Carlo and will wait on his and the dealer's response but in the meantime I was wondering if anyone else may have experienced a similar problem.
