    Default Updates?

    Have there been any real changes to the '15, '16 or '17 RT from the '14?

    Thanks.....

    Could you explain what you mean by "Quick Start"?

    On the 2016 you don't have the start up wait. You just turn the key hit the mode button and then start.

    Plus... the RT Limited now comes with the much better Garmin Zumo 590 LM. I think that happened just this year with the 2017 model.

    Cool

    I just purchased a 2016 RT-S and I still have to wait press the mode button for a cold start. The only way I can get a quick start is if I turn it off and back on with in a short time period. I don't remember the time.

    Default 2016 RT

    Hi There I purchased a 2016 in may of this yr and have 9,000 km on the machine. RT LTD.

    This trike is TRULY a great investment and does what the manufacturer claims it can do..
    In todays marketplace this is refreshing to see a product do what it is claimed to do

    That's interesting my 2016 RTL no waiting required.

    I've heard on the 2014 & 2015s if you press the mode button twice there's no wait. Given I don't have a 14 or a 15 have not tried that.

    Default 2017 changes

    From what I have read they have upgraded the DPS unit. Supposed to be much smoother. And changed the steering column to have one knuckle instead of two on the RT's.

    For the F3's they have changed the rear sprocket to be the same as the RT. The new F3 limited is now very similar to the RT with a top trunk and automatic air suspension.
