What are the differences between the 2007 RTX & 2009 RTX

[IFlyEm]

Besides color is there much of a difference between the 07 RTX and the current RTX?

not really i don't think. Besides the 09 looks better imo without all the yellow that was replaced with red.

Ironically the reason I am asking is that I like the Yellow and there is a leftover near me.

< just about got rid of all my yellow, sitting on the bench.....LOL just need to have welterracer powder coat the A-arms this spring.

I have an '07...I dont think they changed anything. If they did, it was nothing big. I liked the yellow...hate the red on the new ones!! Reason I bought a leftover '07 instead of spring ordering an '08.

yellow

that's funny.
I have an 07 RTX and removed all of the yellow....it drove me nutz looked too much like a mustard bucket.
Only thing left is the yellow headlight which I will need to live with unless anyone has a quick fix, I don't want to buy a headlight.

Since I added an arctic cat rear skid the suspension is lime green with green wheels, I will be getting rid of the green wheels soon but the green rails are powder coated and don't feel like ripping it apart to go all black.
I removed the decals too.

I don't understand why they just didn't make it all black to begin with!

Did the 09 RTX get a rear heat exchanger like the LTX did?

09

dont know about the rear exchanger but i thought i read that the engine got a lighter crank. the rider position moved forward. handlebars moved forward. maybe someone else could say for sure..
