HAVE YOU HAD THE 2013 RT RECALL WORK DONE YET?

[taxmyzer]

I've noticed that my fuel pump is getting louder. I never heard it before the recall work or after, but 2,000 miles later it's getting more noticeable. I know the fuel system changes that were done, I'm just a little suspicious that it's getting noisy so much later. Anybody else hearing this?

I've noticed this as well. I was told it's due to fuel system changes from the recall & there's nothing to worry about. :dontknow::dontknow::dontknow:

Yes... My fuel. Pump is getting louder as well after recall work was done about two weeks later I noticed that the fuel Pune was getting louder

Gas cap is on tight!

Are you sure your gas cap is on tight? I had the vapors once after the recall work was done, turned out I hadn't tightened the gas cap at the last fill-up. Heck, once (a long while back) I forgot to put the cap back on. THAT was embarrassing.

I think the cat is the culprit. A 10 degree difference in outside temperature and the heat from the cat makes all the difference. Below 90 degrees it is fine. The body panels are cooler, glove box is cooler and the gas cap is cooler. Maybe they didn't replace the canister like they were supposed to!:dontknow:

It will be going to the dealer.

Take it back to the dealer. BTW who did the 2013 recall. Mine was done last month and all is good.

I got mine done in Fredericksburg in late July! There is so much heat that just blows around the bike on hot days it is almost not enjoyable. I am going to buy some small sheets of ABS plastic and make a shield to deflect all the fan heat. I put the block off plate on, but I think some how that makes it worse for engine heat. I don't see how but it made a difference when I took it off. If the dealer has to take it apart again they are going to put a cat bypass on and wrap the headers.

Good to know I'm not alone. I guess it's the same fuel pump noise the 2014's were experiencing...Thanks.

I'm a happy camper. I think BRP got it right.

Have heard nothing but good things from Fredericksburg Powersport. Check the lower panel (black piece above foot rest) and make sure it is properly locked in with the upper lateral panel, mine is a little warped from the heat and I have to pull it out with a small hook before seating since that is where most of my hotfoot came from.

If you have a upper block off plate installed on the right hand side (dragons mouth), remove it and Install the 2014 right hand side plastic grill which comes with the lower hole block off (all one piece) which is where I found the heat is coming from and flowing up under the foot. You will still get some warmth there but no where near the hot heat that was there. The grill costs around $25

That's what I did. $18.99. It not only gives that gaping upper hole a finished look, it blocks off the lower one as well. Easy install.:thumbup:

RT recall

I had it done and it didn't work so I sold it and lost a lot. it had 2,300 miles and I had it for 17 months and lost 14,000 dollars on it.

Is there any modification required? Or is it just an easy fit? What do you ask for? A 2014 right side grill?

Thanks. I will check that out. Rode home yesterday the dashboard said it was 107 degrees. When I pulled in the garage there was no vapor coming from the bottom and no smell of gas....BUT! The tank was just above a 1/4. That seems to be the difference.

Holy Cow! Did you sell it for 12,000 or what?

I had the 2013 RT Recall done a couple of weeks ago. I also had no more heat from under the seat and the glove box is cool. The weather here has been cool 60's 70's and low 80's since the work was completed and was pleased with the results. Yesterday it got up to the mid 90's and the heat coming out on the right is just about unbearable. It comes back towards my leg and pases back at a angle to the saddlebag. It not only hits my foot but on up my leg above my 8 inch boot. I have had the RT for two years and after the first year I changed on the vents and put on the adjustable vents. Either way I never had so much heat on the right side. I am wondering in doing the recall did they leave something out or had the new air scoops changed the air flow around the cycle? Reading the posts this problem has not been a major problem.

Do you have a block off plate, and if so, is it upper or lower on the right hand side? The radiator is right there, and yeah it blows hot air. The scoops do change the air flow, and there were some interior panels removed to increase airflow in the engine bay. But the engine heat has to go somewhere, and it is to the radiator. So, if the right side is wide open, get a block off plate. Most folks - me included - like the lower one to keep the hot air off of the right foot.
