    Default HUGE difference with SmoothSpyder...

    Just test drove my '12 RT with the SmoothSpyder belt tensioner. One word... AMAZIING!!! The vibration is completely gone and the ride is so much more enjoyable. BRP should be installing these on all Spyders.

    Jim at SmoothSpyder was quick to respond to the few questions I had. Installation was a breeze. If you have vibration problems, don't waste any more time. Get this product!!!

    Thanks, Mike. I did try that several times. My shop is very good and they don't charge me for every little thing (i.e. adjustments). They want me as a happy customer. We just could not find the sweet spot for my comfort. The belt tensioner was a simple answer for me and well worth the expense. It completely mitigated the problem, instantly.

    But, I appreciate your comment. It's the first thing folks should try.

    Default Good to Hear.....

    Have one of the originals but hear the new ones are much better. It did help quite a bit and am very happy with it....

    This is my third riding season with a SmoothSpyder, and I can't imagine not having one. It really does make a noticeable difference.
