Newbie Question re Vibration
I'm still new to the Spyder, having had my RTL for 3 months and a little over 1,500 miles.
I notice something that may or may not be a problem. On the interstate, if I start up a hill, there is a vibration that I think comes from the drivetrain. As soon as I crest the hill, the vibration disappears.
Does anyone know what causes this??

Probably the drive belt. There are vendors that sell vibration dampers if it bothers you a lot. https://www.roadsterrenovations.info/products

But tell us more about the vibration...
At what speeds does it occur?
What gear are you in?
The drivebelts will often set up a harmonic vibration at speeds in the 75 mph range (give or take a bit...)
But if you're cruising at a relatively low speed in top gear (say about 38 to 40 mph): the drivetrain will vibrate a bit if it's under a load...

Thanks for the feedback. The vibration happens in 6th gear, at around 70-73 mph but only going uphill.

feel it through the foot rest
I usually feel the vibration through the foot rest at crusin speed of 55 or so ! when the throttle isn`t giving much push , just easing down the highway , you can roll on the gas a bit and it goes away , this is the belt drive , lopking at doc`s damping system at some point in time !

Vibration at 70-73 mph is 99% belt vibration. We are doing a Ebay promotional sale for a bit if you want to get one it will be cheaper.
