100 deg temp, stuck in Houston traffic, park 2013 RT in garage....

[jcthorne]

AND NO GAS FUMES! NONE.

Ok, only 30 miles since the recall done but its hot today (actually 92 but air temp sitting in traffic was over 100) and the bike was fine. No fumes riding, no fumes parked and we closed the garage door.

Absolutely amazed so far. Louise has a long group ride planned for Sat and will report back after that.

Oh, and Kevin at Mancuso North could not have been better to deal with. Finally, ONE decent dealer service trip for us. I'll go back.

That's great news!

[Bob Denman]

I am SOOOOO glad to hear this from you!! :yes::ohyea::yes: :congrats:

[garb55]

Glad it seems to be working
No ridding for me today
50 degrees and raining cats and dogs :(

[Bensonoid]

Just got back from a ride and as I'm reading this mine is sitting outside waiting for fumes and drips to stop. Couldn't hear better news at a better time.

[ekfraz]

I am happy to hear that the fixed worked for you, I still have to wait a couple more weeks and riding without excess heat and gas fumes will be worth it I guess, I wanted to ride for a couple hundred miles this weekend but I don't need any more burns.

Good news on the bike.

Is that a new service manager over there?

[KennW]

Absolutely awesome news particularly the report of such positive results from riding in traffic.
Still waiting to hear back from my dealer about my RT being done but smile on my face is spreading as I'm hearing so much positive feedback. Is it to early to say "thank you" to BRP ???

[PrairieSpyder]

Glad to hear the good news!! :ohyea:

North Vegas, down 95 through Needles and Blythe to home last Sunday and temps ranged 104 to 111.

Summer is on its way.

I'm going to give my evap canister time to overload with fuel and start dripping again before I do that.

[jcthorne]

Side panels are not hot but we had already done a good deal of work in that area with insulation, pipe wrap, air cleaner etc. Our radiator discharge is all straight down, not on the right foot.

Take it to Mancuso North. They have kits on hand. Think they could get to you much sooner than several weeks.

No change in engine temp but would not expect any, our engine never has run hot, its Louise and I that were hot.

Heat around the glove box is reduced while moving. Still notice some when sitting still but its not much. We are not the ones to compare for body heat as we had already pretty much solved that on our own. The new vents did improve things.

Did they give you any problems with installing the new evap canister given the old one was removed?

[jetmech]

Thanks for the reply.

Not at all. They expect to see many that way.

[IdahoMtnSpyder]
