    Default Belt or Belt Tensioner noise...???

    UPDATED!
    The vendor of the tensioner felt this post was a negative review of his product. That is not the case, nor was it meant to be!
    This was about a noise issue I am troubleshooting and what I felt the problem was.
    After removing the tensioner the noise is still there and appears to be belt related and not about the tensioner.
    Hopefully this clears things up and everyone is happy.

    I'm now running the BRP with Doc upgrades and am finding the noise to be intolerable. When I'm wearing plugs or ear buds it's not so bad, bit without them it is horrible. I've had other bikers wonder what in the world all that noise is.

    I'm wondering if a metal roller instead of plastic/nylon would make less noise on the belt?

    Anyone have any input? Is the Smooth Spyder one quieter???

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!
