What is the best way to effectively improve air flow on 2013 ish ST Model
Airflow around/thru the tupperware?? Or airflow into the engine?
The tupperware benefits from a 2014 panel upgrade, quite a few had that done to reduce the under-tupperware heat; while the airflow intothe engine can be improved by putting a few holes of about 2-2.5" dia into the air intake cover & getting an ECU upgrade. :D Or you could remove all the black placcy intake trunking & filter etc & fitting one of JT's CNC air filter kit intakes, but I don't know if they are still being sold/marketed?! :dontknow:
I have a 2013 STS that is being reassembled (in my garage) as we speak.
I removed all of the Aircleaner Air Box and the Resonator. this action created a huge amount of free flow airspace.
Replaced the Sparkplugs and Wires and performed a Canisterectomy.
Then installed a JT Air Cleaner. It takes a bit of trimming on the plastic bits above the airfilter to get everything to fit.
Yes, JT still has the Air Cleaner assembly for sale,
I also drilled several 3" holes in the belly pans and had the 2014 side panels installed.
Air flow in now incredible and heat is significantly reduced.
Sorry no pictures until I get back in town on Tuesday.
Here you can have a look to the newer tupperware from 2014-models with extra air flow
Looks Great, where did you get the 2014 tupperware? not free I'm guessing..
there was a good will upgrade that may still be in effect just hard to find parts or dealer that knows what to ask for. FYI mine @54k mike with the stock tupperware & only heat issue I had was a warrantied hose clamp on thermostat.Quote:

The side panels can be ordered and installed by the dealer at no cost to you.

I just called my dealer here in Oklahoma and they told me that BRP has free 14' replacement panels only for the RT's & not ST.:(
It's possible your dealer doesn't know about it (there was no recall or TSB if I remember correctly.) It also could be that since the ST was discontinued there is no inventory of 2014 body panels left.Quote:

There is no recall for it. It's more of a courtesy from Can Am if the customer comes in complaining of high heat while riding. This a "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" kind of situation here.
I will try BRP Cares.Quote:
