RXP and fire extinguisher

[rx4pain]

When I bought the RXP in '04, the fire extinguisher I had in my '03 SC didn't fit. It's a Type B:C size 1

Wasn't there some sort of bulletin or recall on the extinguisher/tool compartment being too small to fit one? Weren't they heating them up?

It does fit, it's just REALLY tight.

The bulliten describes holding a heat gun at the opening of the extinguisher compartment for a bit, then sliding the extinguisher in. Once you get it in, you won't have any more trouble with it.

Don't have a heat gun...how much and is there any other option? I guess an open flame near the tank isn't good. That holder is embedded in the foam...thanks for the info.

Yeah do it on a hot day its easier . I had a time on mine you really have to push

Bling - did you heat it up first and then had the hard time pushing it in?

No mine is a black ski i let set out in sun with hood shut . It got hot ans it slid in but not extremely easy . I had tried in feb when it was cold and it would not fit . I used some wd 40 on it also and worked it back and fourth so i knew i could get out incase of fire Once you do it once and work it a little bit you will be fine

So you get it in and subsequent in's and out's are easier? I've got a while before the heat comes here in WA.

I think I'll search out a neighbor with a heat gun and will tackle this soon. I'm just worried about riding in an area I'm not familiar with and getting dinged for not having one. I have to get a whistle too...
