2013 RT Elevated Temperature in Engine Compartment - Safety Campaign

[mcpjan]

They actually look pretty darn good on the yellow RT!:clap: :thumbup:

:agree: I hope it looks that good on white.ray:

I'm with finless. I like the scoops. I'd like to try them on my 2014 rts. Still like to push more air at the engine. Those of you that have the adjustable air wings I would try to keep them many of us 14 drivers would like to have them at a reduced price.
They put them on my 13rts durning the first heat reduction test, but kept them when I trade for the 14rts.

I hope that BRP is listening... The scoops are getting some decent reviews, and interest from RT owners that don't even have to have them! :2thumbs:
(Put them in your accessories catalog!!)

I think the problem will be the jig and tool to cut the panel!

But some of us good with a Dremel can probably handle it with the paper template

:agree: While not for the faint of heart; it's do-able! :thumbup:

My Excellent Dealer Is On Top of This

My exceptional dealer, RPM Cycles in Albemarle, NC already has the mod kits on order; the tech personnel have read through the 32-page modification instructions and are awaiting parts arrival. I understand that there are body panel/airflow changes and significant changes to the fuel distribution and ventilation system. Sounds like it should take a good tech nearly a full day to complete. I hope this will cool down my ride and get rid of that gasoline smell.

 

[Bob Denman]

The best of luck to you and ULY... :thumbup:

Thanks

Thanks Bob-

I obviously hadn't read the previous posts that gave a lot more detail than I had. Best wishes to all '13 riders, their rides and their mods!

Lexington Motor Sports - KY

I called LMS to schedule the recall work, the person I talked to was not a technical person, however she stated that the tech is planning on 1.5 days per spyder to do this recall. I guessed at a day given the instructions, maybe after a few are done they will be faster at it, the two days really doesn't bother me, I would rather have them tell me 1.5 days and it be ready in .5 but I would prefer it completed correctly instead of rushed.

Just got an email from, Greg, who is the service manager at Seminole Power Sports in Sanford, Flarda. Said he had the parts and we are ready to go. Hopefully, Jason, the service tech will be there tomorrow. I should have this thing done either tomorrow or Monday. Keeping my fingers crossed.

More photographs of the new scoops the more I'm thinking they don't just look like an ugly afterthought. Infact am beginning to quite like the look especially from front on view. Looking forward to getting my much loved RT done.

keep us informed

Hey mouthpiece that's great. Hopefully by Monday or Tuesday we will have pics and a review.

Does anyone know if these new vents will be bug and dirt collectors? if ridden in the rain will this allow water to enter into the engine compartment?

My Vertika vents let in bugs and water.

Bugs and Water

I have the new panels on my ST-S and really haven't noticed water getting in since I haven't been thru a hard rain. But bugs can get in. I would think neither water nor bugs would cause any harm. Just think about the average motorcycle that has no panels and what they go thru.

 

[cuznjohn]

i am having a hard time telling if the vents are flat black or not

 

[ekfraz]

They look like they are gloss black.

 

[jcthorne]

They are flat black with gloss black trim around the front.

Dealer just called and our parts are in. Bike is going to the shop in the morning with the intent of them having it several days while they work through the first one (ours) so they can do more of them quicker. Mine also has some known non-oem configuration they may need to speak with BRP about.

 

[Bob Denman]

Good Luck!

And of course: we're expecting a full report on all of this...
