If History is a Indicator

Seems I remember a certain saddle was supposed to be standard equipment on a specific model, and ended up being classified a printing error.

Time will tell guys. No need to get your shorts in a knot.

Why they would eliminate a convenience feature on a touring bike is beyond me. But, thats just me. opcorn:

Too much drama here. :chill:

Absolutely no reason to argue over trivial points like an electronic trunk release on the RT'S and RT-LTD's.

The beta testers are coming and will fill us in on what is actually happening. At the moment, my information is from the printed BRP operators guide. Do dealers know for sure--For most--I am thinking not. My dealer did not even know what colors were available at various levels. No kidding. :yikes:

The item is not a deal killer for most--IMO. Some of us are not as attuned to the happenings at BRP and do not have an inside track to special information--so we try to make do sometimes.

Sled's right; they can change pretty much anything they want, and whenever they want to...
It just seems like an odd time to be "De-contenting" a topline model... :shocked:

 

[Chief-J]

How much will the price drop? ......

Wonder if this Filing with the NHTSA has anything 2do with the PushButton in question

Especially this one here:

[h=3]ELECTRICAL SYSTEM[/h]

9/10/2013 - MURRYSVILLE, PA I HAVE A REAL SAFETY CONCERN INVOLVING THE RT'S. THE BUTTON THAT OPERATES THE PARK/FRONT TRUNK OPENER CAN...AND HAS, RESULTED IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE FRONT TRUNK FAILED TO UNLATCH THE TRUNK. IT WILL ONLY UNLATCH WHEN THE BIKE IS POWERED ON. YESTERDAY, 9/9/13, MY GRANDSON WANTED ME TO TAKE HIM FOR A RIDE AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I PUT ON HIS HELMET AND PLACED HIM ON THE BACK OF THE BIKE. I NEEDED TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE FRONT TRUNK, SO I PUSHED THE BUTTON DOWN TO OPEN IT...IT FAILED TO OPEN AFTER REPEATED TRIES. I GOT OFF THE BIKE AND AS I WAS PUSHING THE BUTTON I WAS LIFTING UP ON THE TRUNK TO SEE IF IT WAS OPENING. WHILE PUSHING THE BUTTON, IT TOGGLED TO THE PARK POSITION AND THE BIKE STARTED GOING BACK AND DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. THANKFULLY I AM QUICK ON MY FEET I WAS ABLE TO RUN WITH AND JUMP ON THE BIKE TO STOP IT. WHY WHY WHY WOULD THEY PUT THE TRUNK OPENER ON THE SAME SWITCH AS THE PARK??? I WAS SHAKING FOR A GOOD 1/2 HOUR OVER THAT, THINKING ABOUT WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WEREN'T ABLE TO JUMP ON THAT BIKE AS FAST AS I DID TO STOP IT. BRP REALLY NEEDS TO RESTRUCTURE THIS PARK/TRUNK OPENER FEATURE. FYI: This is NOT my posting, I just copied & pasted it here to help stir the pot. Personally, all the guy needed to do was push the button again & there wouldn't be any issue, but ........

I suppose if they throw away all of the keys; the heat problems will ALSO disappear... :shocked: :gaah:

no sense in gettin Nasty. Who cares anyway. In almost 5000 miles, I may have remembered twice that I had the electronic opener. Can't we all just get along. Don't forget your helmet. :roflblack:

 

[cuznjohn]

if

if the reason they are removing the electric opener is because of the safety issue reported, i would think a button on the dash would do the trick and not be a problem for them to do

Does anyone else have confirmation here. How about some who were supposed to get delivery in early November? Trusting but verifying.
