RT vent kit on 2014 RT

[Doc - Riverside]

Weekend project complete. Looks sharp and reduces the heat during the hot days of southern summer.

They look great. So are they from BRP or aftermarket?

Waiting for my scoops to come in at the dealer. Yours look great.

Guessing this was more plug and play since the bodywork on the 14 / 15 already has a grille in the scoop location. Possibly no cutting was even needed???

The scoops look nice and no doubt cool the cowled areas.

The question I have, is with the scoops blocking the airflow around the bodywork, it seems the riders would have less airflow. This assumes you had the adjustable BRP deflectors. If you ran the stock wind deflectors it is probably the same.

With the adjustable deflectors, it can force air into the upper oem grille, and also aim the airflow towards the riders.

Curious what you found is the best setup.

Hi Al,
Those are from BRP. They developed them as a solution to the 2013 RT's overheating problems.

[Brogers57]

What kind of advantages are you seeing with this?

My opinion is the Air Vent Kit is the best Mod that can done on any RT (2010-2015). Yes you should do it and it is only$67+tax but you should get BRP to install them for free.

BRP agreed to provide them and have them installed for free for me after a call to my dealer about excessive heat.

ZERO charge to me. They were installed yesterday and work beautifully... I had them installed on my '11 RTS.

No one with a pre-2014 RT should be paying for these or their installation.

Push the heat issue with your dealer to get these for free from BRP. The dealer is getting them for free and is being paid to install them; so you should not have to pay.

Not sure why this is true. All the 10 thru 12 owners told us 13 owners repeatedly for years they did not have heat issues. Told the NHTSA the same thing and were dropped from the investigation for that reason.

Its interesting to see 2014 and newer bike owners wanting the cool ride the 2013 bikes provide.....

That's how I'm getting mine done.

Yes ... also if you still have warranty (ie: Best extended) BRP are covering the costs. My wife had the scoops installed on her 2012 2 weeks ago and BRP picked up the tab!

[Highwayman2013]

Got the scoops put on my 2012 by the dealer for zero cost on Saturday. They seemed good on the way home. I will give them a better test on Tuesday.[someATTACH]115440[/ATTACH]ImageUploadedByTapatalk1441643582.810788.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1441643591.496684.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1441643600.729835.jpg

I have a 2013 RT Limited, BRP installed those scoops and other panels as part of the factory recall, the retrofit made a BIG difference in how cool the Spyder now runs and fuel vapor odors were also reduced; BRP a new evap cannister was part of the retrofit. I'm definitely happier with my Spyder now!

Hello,
Am trying to get this Heat vent from my dealer. BRP is stating that these are already on the 2014's. NOT on mine. I have a 2014- RT-S. What should part should i tell the dealer that i need???
