As long as we have people with your ingenuity with the doggie carriers, there will always be something to share/discuss/kick around.

The pursuit of knowledge will never stop.

 

[Saluda]

With some people I doubt the complaints will ever stop. Hope I'm wrong. We'll see.

There was life before the 2013 RT's, and there will be life after.

We can even start a fight about NOT fighting, if you like!

 

[bcoulter19]

Oh PLEASE let's not do that. We don't need another one of those threads. :sour:

Just imagine... the 2013s will not only be removed from the 'not recommended' list but may indeed end up being the significant upgrade from from earlier models as they were intended to be.

Yea, just imagine.....

 

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: That's true...
They DO have the better brakes and suspension...
In time; they may prove to be the best of the 998s!

They will have the warm right foot thing to talk about.

 

[DJFaninTN]

all the 10, 11 & 12 owners will be on complaining that they want an upgrade like the 13's

 

[MikeT]

I think that there are a fair number of '13 owners who do not think, or a skeptical that, the "FIX' as dictated by the NHTSA is going to completely solve the inherant design flaw. That leaves lots of fodder for continued discussion

Why shouldn't we, when we have the same problems. I would love a heat fix also. I completely eliminated my evap canister but would still love a heat reduction especially from around the gas tank.

In that respect the 2013 RT is no different than all of the other 998 bikes. And it can be fixed by the same methods as all the others. IE divert the flow away from your foot.

According the the close out report from the NHTSA, the number of 2010 thru 2012 MY complaints about fuel fumes and fires was insignificant compared to the complaints with the 2013 model. This is why they closed the case with BRP recalling only the 2013s. At this point, it will require significant numbers of 2010 thru 2012 model owners filing complaints with the NHTSA to get a new but related investigation opened. Its unlikely that BRP will do much with these older models unless the NHTSA forces the issue.

:agree: You have to remember that there's the heat that melts components underneath the Bodywork... :yikes:
...And there's the heat that makes you feel uncomfortable... :shocked:

NHTSA (and BRP), have little concern for the latter.
