What did Can-Am do to the 2013s?

[wiredgeorge]

My question initially was innocent. I have seen soooo much talk about the 2013 RT that I wondered what actually kicked off the eventual fix. I gathered poor air circulation leading to heating and some folks have complained of smelling gas. My query seems to have kicked off a urinary olympics so never mind... perhaps some of you folks have too much personality invested to talk about this subject without getting heated so I have gotten more than enough info to satisfy me. In the end, I have a 2010 so the question was academic.

There were comments about how the suspension was improved for 2013; how was this done? Was the basic frame changed? Shocks? Anti-sway bar?

The entire front suspension was replaced; new A-arms, shocks, brakes, wheels, and tires...:thumbup:
In order to handle all of this; they changed to a new frame design.

Yes the frame, a arms, shocks, sway bar, hubs, bfakes, etc. All new and much improved in 13. Was all uvershadowded by the heat and fume issues that are finally solved. The 13 rts are great bikes.....now.

A couple with a newly modified '13 stopped by the other day and they both complained that excessive heat was still present. The passenger commented a couple times that before the mod, her right foot cooked, and now its the left one! :banghead:

They're seriously considering trading for a 1330.
