    Default Noise at 72 - 77 MPH

    I have a RTL 2020 (2000 miles)and my friend has a 2015 RTL (23000 Miles). On a 2 day ride in FL we talked about a grind or vibration, noise coming for under engine / maybe between the front end and engine front. I ask if he had it he said yes. We rode and via headset we both got it between 75 - 77 at almost the same time. Not always there but most times it is. Above 80 nothing even higher nothing. Can someone tell me what this is. It is clearly a normal RTL noise and not a problem.

    I think it is the ftruck door

    I had harmonics from my drive belt around 70 mph on my 2016 RTL. It felt like a vibration that only occurred at a certain speed. It went away after I installed a belt tensioner

    I get it at 50-55 sometimes, a cyclic sound and only occurs on certain road surfaces and/or conditions. Lamonster Garage has a good solution that I will install some day.

    Does anyone know why Can am did a really bad job on the piece of rubberwear that is used to get access to the radiator fluid. It is the piece under the headlights an above the frunck. Anyone know of any other way to secure it better?

    At 3700-3800 rpm (70-75 mph) I was getting vibration from the belt. I installed the LM tensioner and no more vibes.

    I confirm, I have an RTL 2020 and I had the same vibe. I installed the Tensioner (https://www.slingmods.com/canam-spyd...illet-aluminum) and the problem was fixed. lots of ToperWare to remove, but easy to install. I don't understand why BRP doesn't include such a part.

    If they did, they'd have to admit they made a mistake and aren't perfect. Can't have that now, can we?
