Which is the best Belt Tensioner for an F3 LTD?

[AY4B]

Got a new F3 Limited a few days ago and found it to have a lot of vibration at highway speeds. I was looking on here and found basically 2 different styles, one applies tension to the upper side and the other to the lower side.
now I'm confused, is the vibration coming from the upper side which is pulling or the lower side which has the slack?

I put the the brp damper pulley which goes on the top , all vibration gone. Now saying that I am keeping a very close eye on pulley and bearing. I only have about 4000 Km on it so we will see.

I have 23000 Km, all highway, on mine. I keep a close eye on it, which is Very easy, and it's like new.

Is this a Paid advertisement?

If it is I am way under paid, seeing that I bought a product with zero discount without even knowing if it is going to work.

I think It is supposed to get here by tomorrow and if I get it installed by my ryde on Saturday, I can give a full review.

That is the one I’m leaning to but was wondering why there are 2 different kinds. The Smooth Spyder says that it wont work with LDT’s because they can not bolt to the air controlled shock.

First i need to get the dealer to check to see if the tension is right. I did not have much vibration on my ST.

I will be going on my second summer with the Smoothspyder tensioner. I have ZERO vibration and ZERO worries about the bearing wearing out. A little pricey but you get what you pay for. High quality. Very solid build.

Right On- Get the tension Right Per the Dealer and you Should Not need a tensioner -

Have to agree no vibration at all here! You have to have it set up right!

If that was truly the case I doubt that BRP would have gone through the expense of making a tensioner.

You MAY need a LASER ALIGNMENT!
Unless they did it b4 u bought it.

Vibration at highway speeds has nothing to do with the alignment. That would be a whole nuther discussion.
I brought it up with the salesman and they still say that they already are laser aligned from the factory. I will try to at least get them to check it because they do Rolo laser alignments there. The bike handled very well on last Sundays ride in the twisties, but I could see a new sway bar would help it.
I did order a BR sway bar today along with a ton of other stuff. It will keep me busy for awhile putting it all together.
