    , and...

    Since you've piled up a "couple of miles" with your 998s: please tell us what you think of the triple.

    I was really impressed with the test ride.

    better acceaeration my power steering went out at about 40k so its beenmanual for the last 40k the steering quickness Is going to require some time to get used too

    over all I am impressed

    does this model need a belt tensioner?

    It only needs a tensioner if the vibration becomes bothersome.
    (The longer driverbelt, does seem to exacerbate the situation. )

    Depends on your level of comfort with the various vibrations that come and go at certain speeds/throttle applications... I installed one once they became available from BRP. Sorry, wasn't gonna pay 250.00 for an aftermarket. And I am so glad BRP DID make one! Sure the vibs are "livable" but why live with something you don't have to!? My buddy has an F3-S also and thought I was crazy and that the vibs were no big deal. But as soon as I installed mine he saw the light and got one of his own and wondered why he didn't do it sooner....

    Here is the part # 219800412

    A couple of years ago I had my wife go into our sled dealer for a couple of gallons of oil. Ended up with two new (left over) sleds.
    Expensive oil !
