Put mine on today and yes if makes a difference.

while I paid for the part i still think it should have been covered by father BRP.......heck he should reimburse those of us who already paid for it.

[ncgrl1]

I totally agree...

[Chupaca]

That's what we are...they will take this knowledge and probably put this tensioner on the next years model now that we have tested it out and it has performed well. The best sample testing possible is Joe Public.... and we pay...

Mine is still not here yet

We have them in stock for our local customers.

I installed mine this week. And like others have said, it does make a difference.

Trying mine out today!

Rode 200 plus miles on the F3 today with the new BRP tensioner in place and I was amazed. All the belt vibration is gone. Only thing I could feel at times was a little vibration from the engine, which was very minor. BRP really hit a home run with this cheap upgrade for the F3's!

I agree with one said that we deserve to have BRP give us a free belt tensioner because we are used (R&D) to prove that it work.

I 'm just hoping that BRP will mail me a free belt tensioner for my Spyder they sold me without one.

It's undoubtedly in the mail, jerpinoy

Those are what were used for brakes back in the day. That is a Butler Petrocycle from the 1850's and the little wheels on the bottom were dropped down on each side to raise the rear wheel to stop....

I took a few pictures and I'll post them today sometime.

[Peteoz]

Wow.....fascinating......Thanks Doc.........I wonder if you can still buy those brakes aftermarket for the Spyder? I might give them a try to see if they upset nanny

My 2015 F3 is an awesome ride, but the vibration above 62mph was very disturbing and distracting.
The vibration was most noticeable when feathering the throttle anywhere above 62mph. It was most annoying at 70mph and above. In fact I was hesitant to ride above 60 just because I thought my F3 was going to vibrate to pieces.
Installed the idler pulley and what a difference. The vibration is almost non existent now. I am very pleased.
Seems to me this ought to be installed at the factory.

If I was a betting man, it will probably be integrated into next year's model unless they are completely redesigning the bike.

I ordered mine off Ebay from a Central Florida dealer...it was quicker than going to my local dealer and then having to go in and pick it up. The video Lamonster did on installation helped a ton!! I was able to use his tips and tricks to install this by myself within 30 minutes or so. No more vibration at all! Just did a 500 mile trip this weekend with no problems and cruised along around 85mph smoothly.

Highly recommend!!

Print the first post of the attached thread (includes the part number) off and give it to him. If he still can't find it, you'd be safer finding a new dealer
