Idler Wheel Kit / Belt Tensioner Accessory for F3
Hi everyone,
We've got some great news for any F3 riders who have experienced some belt vibration at higher speeds.
As was discussed in this thread, BRP will in fact be offering an idler wheel kit (PN 219800412) accessory that will help reduce belt vibrations felt by some customers at certain cruising speeds.
The kit should be available this fall and its price is set at 34,99$ US/39,99$ CAN - note that this does not include installation time. Installation should take approximately 20 minutes.
This kit is only compatible with the F3 series of Spyders.
Please let us know if you have any questions!

Hello Steve,
I hope BRP designs a tensioner for the 2015 RT, for the top of the belt. I have a tensioner on the bottom of the belt and still have vibration. It keeps Meg and I from taking long distance trips as the vibration is very annoying.
Tried tightening or loosening the belt, that only moves the speed at which the vibration occurs. Valcourt is coming up next year and really want to resolve this issue before the trip.
Are there any plans to design one for the RT? A search on the forums will reveal many others are experiencing this issue.
Thank You for monitoring the forums and keeping us apprised of new products to improve our Spyders.
Take Care, Louie

Good to Hear.....
This should help many. Glad they are coming to the aid of those with the belt vibration problem. Now if you could post a good chart on the tension for the respective belts in both the sonic and the krikit it would help them all.... at least we can wish....

It's good to see that BRP is stepping up and solving a problem that has manifested itself with the F3. However, I think since its a manufacturing flaw, it should be provided at no cost to the owners, but who am I to say?
Fortunately, I have an RT, therefore have not had to endure that vibration. But I can see how the F3 owners could be displeased about it.

Buy what you want - but I'm not giving up my RT over a stupid belt tensioner.

BRP should come up with a retrofit shaft drive kit for the RT at a reasonable price. The RT has a goldwing price. It should ride as smooth as a goldwing.
