I sent BRP an e-mail explaining the heat issues, I will post more when I find out what they will do.

I have also contacted BRP about the heat issues

I sent BRP an e-mail explaining the heat issues, I will post more when I find out what they will do.

I am an owner of a 2012 RS-SE5 with identical heat issues that are being experienced by the 2013 owners. I have also found that in talking with other 2012 RS owners that I am not alone. I have also contacted BRP regarding my ongoing problems and like you I am waiting to hear what will be done to fix the problem. Would be interested in knowing if BRP is providing panels that will fit the 2012 model. If so, I will assume they know their is a problem.

No Modification Needed

Have been thinking about it, but I know it's an expensive mod, as is everything with the Can-Am name....my question is, how tough is it to do the install, and how much modification did you have to do (mounting brackets, etc.)?

I have the 2014 Panels on my ST Limited. There was no modification needed for the install. Everything fits perfectly. They didn't change the frame between the 2013 and 2014 ST.

another spyder fire

I saw where there was another fire on a 2013 Spyder, at this point I am just thinking about getting rid of my 2013 RT SE5 because I do not need to be worried every time I start the Spyder to go for a ride, I thing BRP should do an exchange for the 2014 Spyder's to prevent injury's or death to the operator or others, If I don't hear back soon from BRP than I think I might have to hire a lawyer to get this resolved.

What are all of you doing with the panels that have been removed? No, I don't want them, I want to know what to do with mine. We got the new kit for our 2013 ST-S. Doesn't seem like there would really be a market for them.

When asked BRP Care said they are working on panel color kits for the 2011 and 2012 RS's. as well as the 2013's and the 2013 ST's.

Mine are hanging in the shop with all the other parts that have been replaced...I don't see a market either

did they send you the new panels directly?

 

[Tazzel]

I am in Laguna Niguel, same color and yeah I hear you man
WHo do you service your bike with? Maybe we can bring them the case and see if they can help with BRP
Riding 2 up on my ST-S is even worse (heat wise) but even riding solo I am feeling it on my leg even with pants and boots

[email protected] why shell out the bucks when with the proper procedure BRP will cover the cost of parts and installation. The panels make all the difference. Like night and day. As for the color, they are doing kits to match the 2013 bike colors. The 2012 RS's as well. Mine is a perfect match.

The way I see it, BRP sent me a new gas cap without me even being aware that there was an issue with the present gas cap. So this proves BRP can be :

1. Proactive
2. They already know who has what model year

they could send out the new panels if they so choose or at least offer them at cost.

It baffles me that for 6 years they have had heat problems and then they release the ST model with closed panels. I dont understand this how could have this been overlooked?

Mine were ordered through my dealer and sent to them.

 

[flamingobabe]

I ordered my panels from the dealer, then dealer shipped to me...my husband installed the panels

How much did they end up costing you?

 

[Jeffsm69]

I ordered mine through the dealer too, cost retail was $333.99 per kit, so $666.78 before my dealership discount which is usually 15%, so around $566.78, I still think this should be a BRP Warranty issue and I'm still fighting with BRP Care about covering the cost

I just got my panels installed this past Saturday. Much better. Now I'm loving ryding my ST and not burning my thigh.
