• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Misunderstood? 2015 issues?

So a few days ago I posted about what I need to do to my not yet picked up 2015 RT limited. I had mentioned all the mods to my 2011 RTS that I had completed. Didn't get the help I was hoping for.... What I hope to find out is what the 2014/2015 RT's need to make them better than stock. Not personal upgrades like racks or seats, but more along the lines of handling, heat management. Like on the 2011 almost everyone did something about heat on right foot or gas smell issues. Are there any known issues with these newer models?
Once again, Thanks in advance, Dan :2thumbs:
 
Heat issues? NONE!!
Beyond that; you've got to log some miles on it, and THEN decide what you think it needs. :thumbup:
Everybody is different, and you may not need what I do... :D

links, it is an excellent upgrade.

14 and 15 seem to be free of heat and boiling fuel issues.
 
Handling:
1. Alignment, even the 15s are out of alignment from the factory.
2. BajaRon Sway Bar and Heim Links

Safety:

1. Custom Dynamics HMT Brake Light
2. TricLED Amber and Red Front Fender LEDs
3. TricLED Mirror Turn Signals
4. Wolo Bad Boy Air Horn
 
I have found no "performance" enhancing items were needed to satisfy ME. Added the CD trunk light bar on the back and bumpskid with LED's on the front.

Bob D's advice to ride it a few miles and see what you think is right on. :yes:
 
I ride my 2014 RT Limited in stock form. It seems to fit me ok. Haven't done a laser alignment as of yet. Seems to track & handle fine.
 
Here's the thing...
The first generation RTs (2010 through 2012...) needed some help in the front end.
BajaRon's anti-Sway Bar and end-links were usually the first thing to try... followed closely by a set of Elka shocks! :thumbup:
Then; folks would take a look at reducing the heat coming out of the radiator outlet, and onto their right boot.
After these two topics were put to bed; out came the lights, the horns, the aftermarket mufflers, the custom seats, the new........
Well; you get the picture... :D
Everything on the early RTs that needed attention; BRP just flat-out NAILED on the 2014 and later versions.
There's less that you have to do now. It comes down to how much personalizing you want to do for your bike... :2thumbs:
