2014 RT Front Tire Pressure Spec

[sledmaster]

For those of you getting a 2014 RT model, the specification for the front tire pressure has been changed to 20 psi +/- 2 psi. I noticed this in the 2014 RT Pre-delivery Instructions, and cross-checked it in the 2014 RT Owner’s Manual. With the heavier engine and heavier vehicle, this seems to make sense. Thought it might be of interest to those of you lucky enough to be getting one!

Thanks for the info. I was wondering if you could post a link to the 2014 RT owner's manual. For what ever reason I can't find it on BRP site.

This will get you to the Operator's Guide page, then you have to select 2014, then select Spyder, go down to RT and click on EN1 for English.

Thanks for the information! :thumbup:
I noticed that change when I was reading my copy of it also...
I wonder what made them decide to change the specification? :dontknow:

Got it. Thanks Sledmaster.

Makes sense to me, too. Good information!

It might have been Ann; she played around with tire pressure, and decided that the 2013s like them a bit lower than the previous models...
Perhaps this is due to the extra weight of the new bikes?? :dontknow:
