Picked up my RTS today. It has been nearly eight weeks in the shop. Night and day difference!!! I must admit, I was very uncertain. I was beginning to think I had lost the touch...and possibly my marbles, to boot. I was not crazy...my RTS had some serious problems.
This is like a whole new machine. Absolutely amazing transformation! Not only do all the lights work now, but it handles like I expected it to. No hunting all over the road, sudden lane changes, or need for my undivided attention. I can ride it normally, even on the highway. One hand is no longer a problem, and it does not feel like it is out of control on cruise. Yes, it is different from the RS, but it is not radically different, and unpredictable, as it was before. I am so relieved! Runs strong and true, now, too. I was able to drop down a gear in most situations. Very smooth, and no sign of the previous misfire. It stops, too! The brake problem has been resolved, and it stops as it should.
I have to do the remainder of the 600 mile service tomorrow, then I can start to rack up some miles, at long last. I have missed a few events, but there are several more on the horizon. No camping quite yet. The trailer hitch and mods will have to be installed in the next few weeks. I delayed my ESI and my comm system orders, in case things could not be resolved.
Many thanks to Carlo and Kurt from BRP for their valuable assistance in this struggle. Thanks also to Jeff at Leaders Marine, and the rest of Leaders' service staff, for their patience and persistence. Long delays are much easier to accept when the end result is this outstanding. Sorry I lost faith.
