Where can I get a Belt Tensioner for an ST(s)?
I have been looking for a belt tensioner for my 2015 ST(s).....just recently started having a vibration at around 60-65. I've checked all the regular sponsors here with no luck. Anyone know where I can get one?

Have you tried first doing what others here have done to reduce/eleminate belt vibes be loosening the belt? Factory / shop specs have it too tight. Measured with a Krikit II, rear wheel on floor = 150 - 160, off floor = 140. I get a tiny bit of vibe aound 72 mph but it's easy to go a tad faster or slower to avoid it. It's free, easy and won't have te potential to hurt your belt.
Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

How worn is your rear tire, and has it lost a tire weight? If it's been fine until now, I would check those things first!!

Please try the above advice before installing tensioner, but if you do install one, use the new one from LaMonster, a sponsor on this site. Good luck.

Smoothspyder has a high quality tensioner. It's a little more cost, but worth it.
