It doesn't get any easier

Why would you want to turn the power twice with the associated power lose and add countless pieces. Do Spyders have a belt problem?? NO!!! If its not broken why complicate matters.

Occam's razor is a good thing.

2015 Wish List:

They pretty much filled out my list from all the previous years. I guess I am easy to please. :roflblack::roflblack: I speak here as an RT owner.

A couple items I did not think of though.

An easy accessible gas tank filler like I have become accustomed to with the Corbin seat--which I shall relinquish on further models.

Push button ignition. I like that concept. I recently rented a car with it--and like it. The Kawi Concours has this as an OEM.

2300 CC like the Triumph Rocket 3? Nope--just kidding here. :joke:

Other than that, I guess I am a happy camper.

Maybe its just me....but a brighter dash...directional, parking, all the lights are dim during the daytime....really hard to see the directional
....

:agree::agree::agree: Strangely, hardly anyone ever thinks a dash cluster that you can actually read would be a great improvement and suggests BRP should fix the problem.

 

[Bob Denman]

:agree: too... But is it the dash lighting, or reflections off of the leading edges of the handlebar cover that make the viewing difficult? :dontknow:

 

[ArsonInvest]

For me..its appears to be the angle of the dash...I think if it were tilted slightly it might make a difference...then again...taller or shorter people might not be able to se it either...BRIGHTER dash...and its really tough when the sun is behind you, and still an issue at any other angle...

I would like built in Bluetooth integration for the radio and CB, no add on unit needed. I have my aftermarket CB bluetoothed using an SR10 from sena. Works great. Just wish it could be built in.

 

[va2djd]

For 2015 RTS my wish list
1- 6 in longer for tall driver
2- light in rear cargo
3-better speaker

 

[PW2013STL]

LED turn signals in the mirrors and adjustable backrest

FUEL MPG COMPUTER

It would be great if the Spyders had fuel /mpg computer and I agree with the larger dash screen hasn't anyone told BRP small screens are not user friendly for their typical clientele if you know what I mean. They could get rid of those nearly useless fuel and temp gauge's and add a nice built in GPS screen and larger LCD screen.

 

[Blue Star]

One in my garage :2thumbs::2thumbs::2thumbs:

:agree:

 

[chris56]

Ok, I am blown away by what BRP did to the RT in 2014 but I still have these items left on my wish list

1) For the Spyder to ride on Water
2) For the Spyder to ride on Snow
3) For gas cap access on stock seat without having to take my luggage off the seat..

Seriously no 3. would be enough.. Still can't believe how many of our wishes or complaints that
they handled on the RT...

I think they are working on this ..

2015...

I hate to say this; I'm thinking that we'll actually only get some BNGs...
(new colors) for next year.
They've done a pretty thorough job of addressing the "wish-Lists" from prior years; give them some time to tackle the RS & ST bikes! :thumbup:
Besides; if they're gonna add a shaft drive just for "J"... it'll take some time to work it all out!

My wife and I have toured a lot many years ago. If you can remember "BATES" maded top loaded saddlebags and you could put your helmets in them. We also had the large Harley rear box. Been to many races in Daytona where we had as many 8 helmets stuffed in them for other riders.
This is what I would like to see.
1. Larger Top loaded saddle bags.
2. Larger rear bag. So you can load two helmets in it. You can only get one helmet in the front trunk and one in the rightside bag. Left bags got some obsolete obstruction in it.
3. Passenger to have the ability to raise and lower the radio volume. Not just change channels.
I own a 13RTS the front trunk switch works when its in the mood. Opening it with the key is a dance. Push the keys down, turn it to the right, reach around the mirror, grab the lid and open the trunk. OH what fun. Because you can't have anything in your hands when you open it. lol
They removed the switch on the 14s.( rumor, someone released the parking brake and the bike rolled off with passenger on it)
4. Design a keyed lock latch on the front trunk. (Move the BRP Badge up the trunk and put the key lock under it.)
5. Added the turn signals indicators to the mirrors so the drivers can see them on. Looking at the dash for the small green arrow is a pain. Again left side works when it in the mood. lol

I see this has come back one more time. I pretty much agree with gas cap through the seat access and push button ignition. Have had chain, shaft and belt drives. No complaint except for belts cost to much to replace. $350 or so with labor. I have done this twice.

RE: Colors--what are some of the colors that you folks have in mind.
I am going to go way out and suggest an Orange color.

Others????

 

[Bob Denman]

Colors??
This one's a real Beauty...
