• 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.

New Side panels

Didn't Carl get everything he needed? I just followed his list with a change in color. But I haven't pulled the trigger yet.


I followed his list for the most part, but one of the numbers isn't even available from BRP so I had to guess at the proper number they suggested, we'll see.

Snoopy....you were told numerous times that the part ending in 069...should be 079...quit pushing the blame on someone else....I copied the list...then did research my self and my conclusion was exactly the same...I have the parts and they are correct.....
 
Char,
Is their installation going to happen before, or after; SpyderFest? :dontknow:
Or is it just on the, "Round-Tuit" list? :D

Not blaming. I just still don't know which number is being sent?

I thought I did the change people were speaking of (079?) but it wasn't available?

Maybe it was the 069?, it is all confusing to me...I'll see when the parts show up. Lol
 
March 28th?
Just over two weeks... you should be getting your parts soon! :thumbup:
This is a very interesting topic; I think that lots of folks are waiting to see if the scoops help... I think that they will; but we need some actual experiences with them to be reported in here! :2thumbs:
 
Curious

Like so many of you, I too am very curious to see how Carl and others like the new side panels once the weather gets warmer. And, like so many of you, am wondering if BRP will actually do anything about this on their end... including, as someone mentioned, at the very least, making the 2013 colors available in the 2014 panel parts.

A question... I was told by my dealer (I had it shipped to VA from MN) that the Service Bulletin 2013-9 was done. Is there an easy way I can visually verify if this is true? My brand new 2013 ST SE5 runs awfully hot, and it's got only a few miles on it, and those are mostly just parking lot and neighborhood practice rides.
 
The rides in parking lots and neighborhoods might just not be fast enough, to get enough airflow through the bike.
I would say, try it out at speed on the highway, before starting to get worried about anything... :shocked:
 
Bob...the parts will be installed before I leave for Spyderfest....waiting on torx screw and nut


STicks....the service bulletin is a computer update to the ECM...to answer your question ...no


as far as ordering the parts to update to 2014 air-flow panels.....so many are ordering...BRP has run out and needs to make new ones...if you go to BRP site some of the parts say unavailable......I did hear a rumor that the 2013 colors will be available

I looked up every part in this list but the decal x2 with the correct part number and my source shows $694.20 .
Shoot me a pm if you want to know where. The site says free shipping but could be a charge for bulky orders. Does anyone have any results to report on the kit? Is removing the cat a better solution? It would be cheaper
 
Side Panel Confusion

Thanks Flamingobabe and Bob.

Another question...

On the list of parts needed for the panel swap, I see there are "LH Upper Side Panel" and "RH Upper Side Panel", as well as RH and LH "Front Panels." But, on the lists provided in the thread, there is a second set of "Upper Side Panels" under different part numbers. One set shows color, the other doesn't. I thought we needed to get four panels. This makes six. :dontknow:

705007329 705007330 are the black pieces that fit in for fog light area...and 250000069...should be 250000079..and they come in a package of 10.....if you want one...you will have to go through a dealer........be sure to order 2 decals

Powersportswarehouse.com was around that price plus shipping, don't remember the exact numbers.

I think there is a backorder or some parts though because it is taking a while.

Sent an email today for an update.
 
Char,
I am SOOOO glad to hear that this project might be coming to an end for you! :yes::ohyea::yes:
Here's to hoping that it's smooth sailing from now on! :cheers: :thumbup:

Finally got my panels in.

That took quite a while, BRP must have a good backorder on some parts. :(
 
Yesterday my wife and I rode down to South Pittsburg, TN for the National Cornbread Festival. This was the first time we have ridden our 2013 ST-S with the new panels for more than 200 miles with temperatures higher than 70 degrees.

On the ride yesterday we had temps in the mid 80s and I must say the new panels definitely make a difference in keeping the bike cooler. There is still some hot air getting trapped under the tupperware but nothing like it was before. Perhaps it is now time to cut some 4" holes in the very bottom panels, or just remove them to let that air out.

I am very pleased with the conversion and can recommend it whole heartedly to anyone that has an ST-S.

Carl
 
I cut a few holes in each bottom panel a few months ago.

I like at least having something there in case I run over something maybe it might protect something. :dontknow:
 
Been a little hard around here getting a list of "exactly" what we need.

No one who has done this has an exact list yet.

Even the list I ordered by was incorrect and I was told some clip part numbers were wrong.

Hoping once I actually get my parts and do this I can give a specific parts break down w pics so people know what "exactly" to order. :dontknow:

This list is for the Pearl White Panels from FlamingoBabe ...

250000079 Panel Nut M5 X 0.8. Model-ST 1
250000577 Torx Screw K40 X 12 4
