    I dropped my F3-L tension to around 155lbs, based on Mike’s experience, and then removed my aftermarket tensioner that was showing signs of wear. Vibration is now virtually non existent, so dropping the BRP recommended tension worked for me, too.

    Are you suppose to measure the tension from the top if the belt down or the bottom of the belt up? Thanks!

    What is the recommended cricket measurement for the old RS (2010) belts while on the ground? I should check mine. Thanks. Nevermind, found an old thread that said 160-180 for my RS. Thanks.
