I too had this problem on my 2012 RT and after many shop visits and phone calls to BRP we finally solved the vibration issue at least on this bike. We played with the belt tension and added an idler...

I would love to see something like this; however, BRP may be just a little late in getting their patent for it looks as if "TMW" already has one for the same design. I chatted with TMW by email 10...

Dropped my RT off this morning as BRP requested to look into the vibration, CB Radio and Blue Tooth issues and was given a loaner to use until my bike is repaired. The loaner is a 2010 RT with 7000...

I get between 34 and 37 mpg's and that is over almost 6,000 miles.

Neat looking Mod:

I thought BRP had the patent on this.....I guess not!

I just received a phone call from BRP Customer Service regarding the belt vibrations and other issues on my 2012 Spyder. They have made arrangements with my dealer to provide me with a loaner for a...

I wish you luck getting BRP to respond, I have been waiting a month after the local BRP Rep stated they would be in contact. You need to have your dealer show you the video that BRP has produced for...

Very well stated:thumbup:

If BRP was to ask me to try a different belt I would be happy to oblige. I have considered that there may be a difference or a lack of standards in how the belts are built. However, after all the...

I too feel your pain, for I too have a 2012 that we seem to be unable to get rid of all the vibration. I have spent over $1000.00 on this problem and have been able to reduce some of the vibration...

I agree, my job this winter will be deciding what manufacturer and model my next bike will be. I do enjoy riding the Spyder, but BRP has no idea what it customer supports means. I have heard all...

Wishing you a very Happy 80Th Birthday, that is a real accomplishment and you look in very good shape from your photos:cheers:!!

Sorry to hear of your BRP issues, I too have seem to have had some BRP troubles. I am also thinking about GW Trike but when the RT is working it is a nice handling bike, I will have to think about it...

I have the BRP CB radio and can transmit but not receive. They added the CB when I bought the bike, any ideas as what should be checked first?

According to the wire prints my dealer tech showed me the IPOD continues to charge on the 2012 RT S SE5 with the key off.

Yes!

A question for you, when you stop for gas or anything and you have been playing your IPOD and after starting again does the IPOD start playing right away or is there a delay (several...

X2

I stop by another dealer today for a second opinion today, service manager was very friendly and showed me a lot of his correspondence regarding vibration from BRP as well. They too have had some...

I do believe what your are saying may have a lot of truth in it!

Yes, I agree!! I have removed a lot of the vibration but still have a little more to figure out and remove.:bowdown:

BRP all ready knows about this problem, they are just hoping we except this as normal and we all go away. Even though I have spent a lot of time and money on this problem and at times I believe I may...

It would be great if you kept and posted a log of your travels!!

I am planning on that trip next year.

Have a fun and safe ride:)
;)

This seems to be why some bikes are vibrating more than others. Before BRP gave us permission to tighten the belt and it was supposedly set at 450 newtons I could twist my belt almost all the way...

I would be happy to trade my vibration for your noise, mine makes no noise of any-kind!

This bulletin is for 2011, mine is a 2012 and there is nothing for the 2012's and it seems many of those complaining have 2012's. By by tightening the belt we have now reduced the vibration to...

We have gotten permission from BRP to go to a tighter belt and are getting very close to solving the vibration problem on this bike. I now have a very small band 62 to 65 mph that has a vibration....

You may also want to give Ken a call at Fox Shawmut Hills in GR, great out the door price and their serivce is great and will do most repairs while you wait.

Thank You Sir for your insight; I would like to add that when the spyder first came out the belts were set at about 1400/1500 newtons. That is telling me that when originally designed, this is what...

Well, I guess if I had my choice I would take the "whole lotta shaking going on" when at a stop light, not at highway cruising speeds.

So what you are saying is as long as I "avoid those rpms in...

Thank you for your efforts to get this addressed, I too have been in contact with BRP and all I'm being told is that they are working on the problem!!

The only difference between what your are...
