Belt,front and rear sprocket replaced

[SethO]

Just got home with spyder, new belt, front and rear sprockets, sounds great, OUTstanding wrenchs and parts guys at hicklin powersports in Des moines, Pm me for more info.

It has the reduced belt tension, and for people that just push test the tension its a little over half the pressure.

I can not thank jim enough, he trailered my spyder up to the twin cities and spend a whole day and more helping me out with this, my hat is off to him. He is LEGIT!!, has a ton of first hand mechanical knowledge of the spyder and hopefully his is done as I type this, you are the man.

Thanks to Aaron the BRP sales rep from spyderfest, he should be the north american sales rep, has more than my vote, changed my opinion on BRP employees by himself.

Thanks to everyone else, DOC and len come to mind along with everyone else.

Tomorrow back to testing,always testing.

Good to hear you received superior service from this dealer and BRP rep.

Why not supply this dealers web site address... when we need to order something we can check his site first. /Ken krb1945

Glad to hear you got it back, and everything seems quite good with it again. Have fun testing, and hopefully you won't break anything else for a while. :D

Seth, Glad to hear that your spyder is back home. :2thumbs: My hat is off to Jim (jedd) from Tiffin, IA and also Aaron of BRP (who I had met a couple of times in Omaha) both of whom deserve a lot of thanks for helping you through this. :clap:Ride it Safe :yikes:

got a few good videos made today, should be able to get one up tomorrow. I was worried about the belt tension being lowered but it was rock solid. It is awsome to get the thing back on the road even though it was 32 degrees this morning and 32 when I got home on it. My spyder can beat a kawi er-5n just in case someone wants to cut thru some curves with you on it.

jim you are the man, I wish I could figure out what I can get ya for helping me out, ps-90 this winter for coyote hunting?? We will eat somewhere else, maybe a topless place that serves breakfast all day.

Seriously you saved my bacon, my trailer's bearing when out, I do not now where but it is shot SO if I would have went to des moines I would be stuck somewhere bad.

This picture should be banned, I was slowing down for you FL buddy who was "taking video" I see how you guys work, Chicago, rematch, get the cops to shut down a street or a freeway.

:thumbup:A good news story Setho, thanks for sharing.





Tomorrow back to testing,always testing.
I hear you, me too.
Cheers!

Looks like you found a good shop - most would tighten the belt until it sings.


I think it was more Aaron the DSR from BRP telling them about issues like what I had and the "fix" for it.
