Video about Handling of 2013 Models
I found this short video by BRP explaining some of the suspension changes and how it affects handling on all the 2013 models. I don't believe I've seen it posted on SL before so if it was, sorry for the duplication!

Thanks for posting this Faran. I can tell you that this is not just media hype and as soon as you get a chance to put the 2013 through it's paces I'm sure you'll agree. The thing handles like a dream stock now.

All 2013 share the same changes.

Lamont,
Question: With the frame changes; did they also move the battery forward into the area behind the Frunk on the RTs?
Thanks!

would love to see a side by side comparison of my current set up and what is going on vs new set up. The ride will probably tell the story, I am afraid to test ride as I will want to buy
Again at the .57 second spot of the video they show ride improvement again. And here I thought it couldn't get any better.
Just when I got my RT farkle'd just the way I wanted it. Decisions, decisions?

Dealer sales people not up to speed.

When I was looking at the 2013 ST at the dealer, I commented about the battery moving to the front. The salesman told I was wrong then consulted with two others and they all agreed I was wrong. We lifted the seat and I pointed out the positive jumper post was gone and one of them mentioned it was a prototype, that why it was not there. I let it drop at that point. The salesman also told me the ST Limited came standard with a backrest. I told him I did not think he was correct. He got out the 2013 brochure and realized his mistake. So the dealer staff are not fully up to speed on all the changes and that is understandable.

Wonder if there will be a lot of trading in at the dealerships, or people just out right selling them and buying new ones. Any way which ever will make the older models more available, which really at this time are hard to find. And wonder if most of the mods one has on the present models will fit the newer ones. They sure are a very nice ride, as they are,hard to think they are that much better, but common knowledge is that they will always get better and better.
