RT-S items that I received

[Questions]

I wanted to Post a few pic's of the items I received with my RT-S that you should check that you also receive.

Pic. 1 is #1 a matching Lock Tumbler that matches your Spyder key this is to be used if you purchase the spyder Trailer. Nice touch !!!

Pic. 1 is #2 a 3.5 Input that plugs into the Trunk Jack for use through the Aux. input on the radio.

Pic. 1 is #3 a Special iPod connector that allow direct control of your iPod through the Radio Aux input.

Pic. #2 is the trunk pic. showing the std. 12 volt plug on the left side and the Aux. Radio input plug on the right side.

Those are some nice little extras, and it sure beats having to pay the dealer to install the power outlets after the purchase.

You should have received a cover too.

That cover is nice. I hope she is able to get it from the dealer.

Yes, the travel cover should have been included, as well as the trunk liner.

Here is my cover picture, you should open yours and check it out maybe they sent you the wrong one, because it looks like you are a little short compared to the one I received. it is a great cover, also have the trunk liner Thats a boring pic, so there isn't one.

I haven't opened mine and the pic I posted was from the BRP site, not my RT. My guess is it's the same as yours.

would love to see some post updated us all on your thoughts of the RT

[Questions]

Well I can say it is a wonderful machine, since I never owned any other spyder it is difficult to give you comparisions. Had the 600 mi. service yesterday and all went well have 780 mi. with no issues.

Went today to the factory BRP Demo activity here in Irvine CA. The RT,s were being ridden all day, lots of folks, lots of questions.

Top Likes:

1)Wind Protection, you can really hear the radio at 60 mph.
2)Seating and Handle bar position, It feels very natural
3)Lights at night, they are very good in lighting up the road
4) Handling in the twisties, Set the suspension to Hard and it handles great, without harshness and also when riding on normal roads.
5) The RTS has real Carlike white back up lights, just like a car.

Top Dislikes:
1) After you turn off the ignition the Radio stays on for about 15 sec. you can mute it but it seems one more thing to worry about.
2) Front Rims and the rear rim don't match. Front are stylish, and the rear is just an alum. unpolished wheel.
3) Seat Material looks like it is not the best quality.


Thing I would Like added:
1) TPM tire pressure monitiors
2) Rear Truck Liner, the front is included, why not the rear ?
3) Vent in the windshield, similar to the goldwing.
4) Rear Truck Light.
5) Heated Seat
6) And the most important for us ladies is a Mirror on the Rear top box lid.

Overall I have taken the RTS on a tight mountain ride on the premier test road in So. CAL. the Ortega Highway, and the RTS is solid, powerful, and fun to ride on the tight mountain road.
