can am shaking
I just came back from a ride with my 2016 can am RTL. when I get over 50 mph my spyder shakes. it is not a real vibration but more of a shake. I did have a dealer install a new rear tire last year, and that is when the shake started. I took it back to them and they said everything was ok. I am at my wits end. hope someone can help. thanks

Hi .. as I see it you can play some Jerry Lee Lewis music or,
You have a bad tire or a bent wheel or an unbalanced tire it has to be
associated with the rear tire... take it back ASAP

Have your dealer check out your Rear Wheel and Tire. Sometimes problems happen. ...
Good Luck on Your Mission........

Take it back, and keep taking it back until resolved. Don't take it anywhere else, if you do, you'll be in the middle of a blame game.

If you have a Kenda rear tire, expect that. My 3 Kenda tyres all had flat spots and were causing bike to shake.
I replaced the tires with car tyres, run a lower pressure on the rear (22psi) and no shaking. First had a Falken rear that lasted 16000kms, now Nankeng rear and Nankeng front. Runs smooth.

Don't be surprised if the stealer says that it is now your fault as it's been a few months. Weight fell off, tire out of warranty ( if it had one), road damage, ect, ect. Good luck---- a decent dealer will take care of the problem.

Try a bottle of ride-on tire sealer.

Try Checking the pressure in the FRONT Tires. Most people ride the tires with very low pressure like 14 to 16 psi ( Don't know why) but that causes shaking of the Spyder. I use like 20 psi in the front tires but that is just my idea of how it should be. Your own chice I guess. Satisfaction will vary.

I just got my spyder back from the dealer. it seems ok now. they installed a belt tensioner for $135.00 and that was for parts and labor. I thought the price was real reasonable. parts alone on this website are way more expensive.

Or reduce drive belt tension like 100's here have done .... cost = $ 0.00 ............... I have read almost every thread / post on this site, it amazes even me what can be learned..... even the ones that arn't a problem Now can be useful later ...... jmho .... Mike .... EXCEPT for Crapenda's ... any Auto tire will perform best between 14 & 16 psi .... that's where a lightweight veh. ( like the Spyders )will do best .....
