Is it overtly visible once installed like the other?

Smooth SPYDER belt tensioner is not visible to me. You have to know where it is,and get down low to see it.

vibration rpm 3400-4400 rpm
It's good to see compennsation for lack of engine harmonic balancer qualitity---if it works great---but he problem origination is with the engine harmonic balancer mounted on the front of the engine crankshaft. Same rpm in any gear will cause vibration--usually 3300-4500rpm. I appreciate any vendors effort---but I don''t see magic -...
BRP have let themselves down.
Bought an F3 SE6 in July and love the bike , HOWEVER ! just made my first long trip down south where you can drive a little faster and discovered what I now know to be the common problem of the bike behaving like a meat grinder between 67-72 mph. Contacted BRP and got the cold shoulder so then went on to the dealer who now just does not return my calls. Looking at the Smoothspyder tensioner but feel aggravated to have spent 25K on something that has such a basic design flaw, BRP wake up, be honest and have some respect for the people who are buying your products. Perhaps BRP could consider the prospect of providing a little customer service here ! you know in the long term it will save a lot of money in keeping customers coming back...........maybe Hyundai might consider making a trike!! just imagine buying from someone who cared about you even after you left the showroom and gave a five year warranty.
Sorry to rant, needed to let it out , will order a tensioner.
