The tensioner is being refined and still in the works.
The one on mine has reduced the vibration by about 50%.
I can drive through the 68-72 MPH range under power without hardly any vibration, but as soon as you back off to a steady speed and not under a load there is still some residual vibration which smooths out after a bit. This is coming off the top of the belt.
My tension is set low at 155 Lbs. with the kriket and off the ground, which is about 650N.
I have heard from a few that have raised theirs up to around 1000N and they tell me their vibration is 95% gone at any speed.
BRP seems to like to set the tension on the low side or even under the spec's from what I've observed, obviously for their comfort and well being and not the consumers.
My 13 ST was at 770N when it should have been 900-1200N.
I would have your dealer check your tension and move it up to just under the maximum range of the spec's.
If you still have vibration after that it should be greatly reduced I would hope.
If a tensioner if still needed then it should be much more effective at cleaning up what's left.
Happy Easter!

Be aware, Does not work with a Corbin seat. Seat is to thick to allow backrest to fold forward.

I also heard from a customer with the BRP bags that there is a spacer or something needed to make the bags lock to the frame.
I haven't been able to see the bags to see what is going on there and the pics weren't too clear, if anybody has any info on this send me an email please.
Very happy you like them, thanks

The only sure way of getting rid of bad habits is to create good ones.
AND, by the way, this will not happen on auto pilot.
It's time for a YOU-turn!!!
