2014 RT

**Desert Spyder** · 02-10-2015, 06:23 PM

How does everyone feel about the 2014 RT's? I saw one at the nearest dealer while having my 2010 RT serviced and my heart went pitter patter. Any quirks?

**bluestratos** · 02-10-2015, 06:33 PM

None at all, they got it right this time. I have 10K on this one and it is far better than the previous models. I had a 2011 that had a lot of problems. If you can affort to buy a 14 its the one to buy.

I really love mine; ability to go further miles on a tank of gas, no heat issue and that sweet 1330 engine power. I did have a few minor warranty issues - had to have the ignition replaced and maybe the fuel pump, but overall highly satisfied with no regrets

Went from a 2012 RTL to a 2014 RTL and love everything about it.
I haven't had any problems with it at all.
As they say, pitter patter just get at 'er!

**ARtraveler** · 02-10-2015, 07:21 PM

No buyers remorse here. Have a lot of experience with

's and think the 2014 is the best one I have owned. 10K miles my first season of ownership.

My 14 rt is my first spyder and it is great. Still less than 2,000 miles but no problems so far. The wife also likes it.

**Chupaca** · 02-10-2015, 07:38 PM

Some one may have made mention of it here...

if its in the cards go for it..!!

**danotech** · 02-10-2015, 07:39 PM

Only got 5k out of the rear tire on mine but other than that it is great

I've had mine 2014 RT-S for a couple weeks now. I knew I would love it, but I am enjoying it even more than I originally expected, and definitely no buyers remorse. Good luck!!

Is there a car tire that will fit the rear tire of a Spyder? 5K on a tire these days is ridiculous.

WHY?

**Ben Burped** · 02-10-2015, 09:56 PM

I'm just wondering if there is any relationship between more horsepower, the throttle, and the short life of the rear tire ? Any thoughts ?

**Oldfox** · 02-10-2015, 10:22 PM

I have 2700 miles on mine now and can't wait to put a few more miles on it. Take every chance to ride it I can. You won't be sorry if you get one.

**Desert Spyder** · 02-10-2015, 10:51 PM

I've heard about those rear tire mileage issues. Thats disgraceful. I've been putting Kumho tires on my Spyders since 2008. They average 15K miles. OK thanks for the tips peeps. BTW, did they ever get those rear grips to fire up and warm up properly?

**SpyderAnn01** · 02-11-2015, 12:54 AM

Brian, go for it. There are no bad things on the new RT only great things. I'm at 35,000 miles and I love it.

**Dragonrider** · 02-11-2015, 12:59 AM

If I had to choose between a new 12 or new 14, it would be the 14 hands down. If I still had my 2010, and was considering a 2014 - I'd still have my 2010 - but I didn't and I don't.. Otherwise, I'm really happy with my 14 RT - no regrets.

**Roadster Renovations** · 02-11-2015, 01:47 AM

14K on our 2014 Rt and it has all been great! Trouble free miles!

My wife and I trade off driving and I have used the rear grip heat and it works for me. I do not know how hot they will get as I have only used low.
As with everyone else my rear tire was gone at 6,000 miles so I replaced with car tire and have 10,000 miles on that and it still looks great.
Two issues that were taken care of under warranty (power steering and brake caliper). Other than that no issues and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

**Vidman** · 02-11-2015, 09:40 AM

ONLY problem I have or heard of........Low mileage on the rear tire. My dealer claimed I HAD to use the OEM tire or VSS will not work properly. BS.

I have put more miles on my 2014 RT during the ryding season then I put on my 2 wheels in the two previous years added together.

**stevedfive** · 02-11-2015, 09:50 AM

It's amazing! I saw a 14 RT-LTD yesterday at a dealer for $21,999! That means I took a major bath on my purchase but no buyer regret here.

**dlby** · 02-11-2015, 10:24 AM

I prob paid more than needed to
Hard 2 kno 4 sure wi trade in (HD ULTRA) &,all mumbo jumbo.
But--
I am so glad mine is on road & we are in love with it!

I traded my 2012 RT Limited last June for the 2014 RT Limited and couldn't be happier. the 1330 with the 6 speed trani AND zero heat issues plus floor boards made it a no brainer for me. And my woman just loves to ride. Both on and off of the Spyder!!!!!!!! lol

The tire compound was changed on the 2014 and has now changed back to 2012 specs. Should last much longer.

**soonerspyderryder** · 02-11-2015, 02:29 PM

Love it!!!
