    Default Is Belt Dressing Worthwhile

    Hi All! Harley sells a dressing for their belt drives. It came in a tube and I used it on my old Ultra, which seemed to help (better cruise speed, possibly better shifting, etc.). So, would/is this beneficial for a ‘20 RTL regarding noise or life expectancy?

    BRP has a belt lubricant available, or at least specs one, but I don't know the details. I saw it mentioned in some maintenance instructions for the belt. You are referring to the Spyder and not Ryker, right?

    BRP TSB 2012-4 is it. I believe that is the only discussion about any kind of dressing on the drive belt.

    Here's the youtube link where I found it.

    Are you dressing it for a casual or formal occasion?

    Ric, Ha! Idaho, Yes it’s a ‘20 RT Limited. Thanks for the vid. It appears there is some value (I’ll keep the tube).
