I am an owner of a 2012 RS-SE5 with identical heat issues that are being experienced by the 2013 owners. I have also found that in talking with other 2012 RS owners that I am not alone. I have also contacted BRP regarding my ongoing problems and like you I am waiting to hear what will be done to fix the problem. Would be interested in knowing if BRP is providing panels that will fit the 2012 model. If so, I will assume they know their is a problem.
When asked BRP Care said they are working on panel color kits for the 2011 and 2012 RS's. as well as the 2013's and the 2013 ST's.
What are all of you doing with the panels that have been removed? No, I don't want them, I want to know what to do with mine. We got the new kit for our 2013 ST-S. Doesn't seem like there would really be a market for them.
Mine are hanging in the shop with all the other parts that have been replaced...I don't see a market either
I am in Laguna Niguel, same color and yeah I hear you man
WHo do you service your bike with? Maybe we can bring them the case and see if they can help with BRP
Riding 2 up on my ST-S is even worse (heat wise) but even riding solo I am feeling it on my leg even with pants and boots
BRP.CARE@BRP.COM why shell out the bucks when with the proper procedure BRP will cover the cost of parts and installation. The panels make all the difference. Like night and day. As for the color, they are doing kits to match the 2013 bike colors. The 2012 RS's as well. Mine is a perfect match.
The way I see it, BRP sent me a new gas cap without me even being aware that there was an issue with the present gas cap. So this proves BRP can be :
1. Proactive
2. They already know who has what model year
they could send out the new panels if they so choose or at least offer them at cost.
It baffles me that for 6 years they have had heat problems and then they release the ST model with closed panels. I dont understand this how could have this been overlooked?
I ordered mine through the dealer too, cost retail was $333.99 per kit, so $666.78 before my dealership discount which is usually 15%, so around $566.78, I still think this should be a BRP Warranty issue and I'm still fighting with BRP Care about covering the cost
