The best substitute for brains & knowledge is....................silence.

Maybe a cooling seat and air conditioner.

And I hate to say it but maybe a automatic halon system...

Every time I fill up the gas is sizzling on the fuel neck......

my wish for the 2014

2013RTS
I guess we were lucky when the red head [my lady friend ] bought her 2013 RTS.I hated the thing for the first 2000 miles.I had a hard time keeping it on the road.She bought it on the 27th of may.We put 700 miles on it and then left for a 5000 mile trip out west.We were on the road over two weeks.45 mph cross winds across Kansas.The bike handled them well.The temp was pushing 100 degrees about every day and my gas tank didn't boil once.THe gas cap was a little warm but not hot.Now I can ride down the interstate 75 or 80 mph and the bike goes straight as an arrow and steady as a rock.I guess it took me that long to learn how to ride that thing.I have been ridding two wheels for the last 50+ years and I am 73 years old.All I can say is I think it is a great machine and I love to ride it.I still have and ride my 1300 Yamaha road star.The check engine light came on,we shut it off and restarted back up and every thing wea fine.Must have been made on a wed.

I agree Freddy. My wish is to get my 2013 ST out of the shop and rideable.

No matter what they come up with,
no matter when and no matter what it costs there will still be complaints.

I cant complain about anything but the heat. It is freaking hot. The gas sizzling is just something I have to live with. It won't ignite unless there is a spark. Just hope I don't have a static pop.... Other than my chestnuts roasting Im happy with the two 2013 's i have.

Could this be some crackpot conspiracy to curb the population growth among motorcyclists??

2014
Is it the most unanticipated model year since the spyder was introduced?

Tick ... Tick ... Tick ...

Very very dangerous. Be careful.

Get rid of the belt and replace it with drive shaft. Better gas mileage, better access panels. easy diy maintenance.

Shaft drive for the spyder is likely not too far away. For several reasons. imho

A point to ponder.
The 2014's will be an opportunity for BRP to redeem themselves from the issues that popped up on the 2013's.
Many people have reported no issues, but our site has been filled with complaints about a lot of mechanical issues. IMO: a lot of potential buyers may not go to a 2013--just in case. There may be some real deals available on holdover 2013's when this season ends.
If the 2014's do not have the issues of the 2013's, I think it will be onwards and upwards. If problems persist--then--there may be some problems for the brand.
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.
Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)
MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles
IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

Gasoline will auto ignite around 450 F degrees....you don't need a spark....
