    Try the Stage 2 upgrade from Monster Fuel injections--burn rubber all the way thru 1st gear & a touch of the 2nd gear.

    I just went to install the roller upgrade in my 2018 F3 Limited and found there was NO tensioner installed. Is that possible? Should there be one?

    My 18 F3 L didn't have one ethier. Maybe the 19s do now or his dealer is installing them when they prep them. They may be tired of complaints.

    My 2019 F3L did not have one either, I removed the one on my 16' to use on my 19' and I did upgrade the Lamonster roller.

    Do they make a difference on these newer bikes?

    I didn't ride the 19', I just installed it from new. I could fell a difference on my 16' so I assumed the 19' would be the same without it.

    My 2019 F3L did not come with the tensioner either. I purchased one from Lamonster and installed it but I really can't feel any difference with or without (at any speed up to 75mph).
