    Default Question for Lamontster on 2013 belt tension

    Just what is it supposed to be? I have 1 tech tell me 500n +-150 and another saying 800n +-150 and then there is BRP 2013-6 bulletin ( Green Manual) saying 1050n +-150. I am going to the dealer tomorrow and want it to be right. Now it is ~500n right now and I do have some belt slap vibration at ~60mph. Does the 2013 have the same belt as the 14 will have? Thanks a bunch

    I went back to my dealer after returning from our trip in the mountains and asked if they would check the tension due to vibration going up hills. The tension was set to 840n and the tech adjusted it to 1040n. The latest spec from BRP is 1050n +-150.

    The tech at my dealer showed me their sonic meter with the sticker BRP sent them with strict instructions to put it on the meter. The sticker clearly stated MY 2012 and earlier - 450 N plus/minus 150. MY 2013 and later 1050 N plus/minus 150.
