I am sure there are changes coming for the 2014 RS & ST Spyders, but to be honest with you, I can't think of many. Most of my attention has been on the significant changes of the RT.

I know the RS & ST have suffered from heat management issues, especially in the 2013 models. Has BRP announced refinements to address those issues in 2014?

According to BRP's site both RS and ST received a new side panel airflow design. Would rather have to see it in person as the site doesn't give many details.

784922013 & 2014: Side by side pics of both years' STS model. The RS got the same new panels! :thumbup: The look pretty darn sharp

changes in some panels, paint colors, and tweaks to the electronic control systems...much like the VW beetle of yore advertizing 57 changes and all you saw were 2....:roflblack:

On the ST it now comes with the better shocks as well as the new side panels.

Have there been serious heat complaints with the 2013 RS's? I have not heard of any or did I just miss them.

Looking at the parts catalog I see the side panels have changed to allow extra air flow for North American and European models but for some other parts of the world no change. Also the items added for the 2013 heat recall are factory installed on the 2014's. That's all I have seen. Has anyone seen anything else.

I like the looks of the new side panels on the STS. Wondering if they are backwards compatible.

Talk has been yes but you have to buy 4 pieces to do it. Maybe BRP will be including the change to the 13 as a retrofit to eliminate the heat problem. One can only hope....

Good information. :thumbup: Also have been spending most of my time on the 2014 RT changes and not giving to much attention to the other models. Thank you all for posting the information. Others will surely find it helpful. :2thumbs:
