2014 Spyder STS

[cnl414]

Hello everyone,

I have a 2013 RTL and will be looking to get a second Spyder. Hubby and I both want to drive. My dealer has a 2014 STS used with only 200 miles on it. The previous owner traded for an RTL. My question is for those of you that have the 2014 STS are you experiencing the heat problems that others have posted about. My 2013 has some but now that it is cooler I tend to appreciate it.

I have been reading and learning here and really like this site but haven't posted until now. If anyone can give me some insite into this bike I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Charlotte

glad you jumped in. Have not seen or heard of any issues with the 14's as to heat etc. You may want them during the colder days... but go for it you will see for yourself....

I have a 2013 ST...with heat problems almost eliminated.....have not heard of 2014 ST heat problems....do you have the 2014 air flow panels on your 2013 ST

I have a 2014 ST-L. In 16,000 miles, in the south, no heat problem. In fact no problem of any kind.

Thanks for all of your replies. We went to test ride it this afternoon and the dealer is going to install a larger windshield and saddlebags before we get it that the previous owner had already paid for. They had just gotten it in and it isn't running as good as it should be......so they are going to see what is going on and we will test it again.

Again thanks to everyone.

I have a 2014 STL and have noticed a little heat. Have only had it for 3 weeks, so not enough saddle time or temp conditions to say whether there's an actual problem or not.
I know how hot it gets in Waco, so it's good for you to investigate this!!!
Good luck and keep us posted on what happens!!!

I've got about 12K miles on mine, and would recommend it very highly. 200 miles is new (you'll do that yourself on your first ride), so I'd be very happy if it saves you some $$. You'll notice that this year they didn't discount the 14's, and I now don't think they will. I'm sure you can save over the 15's as well, which seem to be unchanged from 2014.

Thanks to everyone for your help. We are now the proud owner of a second spyder. (2014 STS and 2013 RTL) Got it home yesterday and can't wait for it to be a little warmer to go for a ride.


Merry Christmas to everyone
