Vibrations Between 70 and 80 MPH
:yes:Everybody that has a Spyder must get this Rotary Drive Belt Tensioner. I put it on my 2012 RT Limited. Yes I Tighten my belt to specs. Still had some vibrations. I now have a new spyder did not know I had that much Vibration. The best $250.00 I have every spent. I did not know the spyder could be this smooth. I am tell you all this is great.
He has a demo on youtube you can get his site there but he only sell on Ebay MY key word ( Can Am Spyder RT Rotary Tensioner ) His email is jim@smoothspyder.com. :yes:I AM TELL YOU IT IS WELL BUILD AND IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ONE YOU ARE MISS OUT ON A SMOOTHSPYDER
looser tension no vibration
Well all went well. No vibration at all. Not sure if any damage will occur with lack of tension. but if the vibration goes away I'm in with both feet.. Good luck out there getting your dealers to get it right at some point in your ownership..

I will probably try a belt tensioner. :yes:Farkle
Hi I have had 3 RTs. 12 13 14. They all had vibrations starting around 74 mph. I have a belt tensioner on the 14. It helps but don't cure. I still get the vibs in the 80s. I think there are two issues with the vibrations. When under power, the bottom of the belt vibrates. For that, the tensioner will help. At the higher speeds and the engine "floating" the top of the belt vibrates. It's rather pronounced and annoying riding 2 up pulling a trailer. I'm afraid it's just the nature of the beast. Ron
