He also fell into the trap my dealership (as most dealerships do) of not being aware that the 2015 TSB allows RT riders to set the tension all the way down to 119 lbs, and in the back of both the 2018 and 2019 Can Am Spyder RT service manuals there is a specification that is lower than the front "How To" section. It allows all the way down to 141 Lbs. My dealer was confused as to why Can Am hadn't standardized the numbers.
Most folks who ride the RT/RTL enough to actually fell the belt vibration prescribe to the lower belt tension group. I asked a master tech if there was some hidden reason not to go as low as possible, the answer was nothing that BRP had put out. My take is less is better on bearings, pulleys, and vibration.
