    Default Chain?

    In Pitbulls' video on naked 2014 was that a chain rather than a belt?

    Nope, it's a belt. It's a new material than ours.

    Hopefully the belt will not cause flapping like prior years.

    Hoping it doesn't make the noise that my 2012 RT does.... I lube it every 400 miles.....

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    Since I started wearing good ear plugs, my Spyder makes no noise at all!

    BRP has a TSB out on "lubing the belt"
    That sounds kind of catchy!

    A small dab of grease on your fingertip, and wipe a bit onto the belts inner cogs at several points around it...
    It outs a bit of lube on the pulleys in order to keep the squeaking to a minimum as the belt works it's way on and off of them...
