Belt tensioner.

[KJWEB]

I received my kit yesterday and have printed out the instructions.
Here is the deal guys, I also found out yesterday that I have to have spine surgery next month so please go easy on the back-and-forth about my question, I'm just not in the mood... sorry.
Where can I get a video of how to install it?

Lamont did an excellent one with some handy tips ...... M :thumbup:

Well, a very good and dear friend of mine, Kevin, in the Seattle area is going to ride down here, Albany, and install it for me. What more could a guy ask for... nothing

Had my BRP tensioner put on yesterday by my favorite dealer in Wisconsin Rapids. Noticeable difference in ride quality. There's still a hint of vibration but not sure if that's from the belt or not. Definitely a great mod for the bike!

Yes--regardless of what other posts may say, it does not solve the problem for all of us, I can understand their loyalty, but bull**** has never satisfied me, why else would I say this if it wasn't true??? The problem is engine vibration in the 3200-3800 range--the engine is not balanced--the entire site can blame it on the belt---so why do some of us still feel vibration after the BRP roller assy is installed???

After looking at Doc Humphreys video and all for the RT mod for this, I had to pull the trigger. I have wanted to get a tensioner but the 200-300 price range always seemed really high, the brp part is 35 bucks and docs mod is 40, and it looks easier to install than either the Baker or smooth spyder....we'll see i'll update when I get it installed !

Installed mine today. Huge difference. I'm pleased with the product and very pleased with the smoother ride. Now my teeth don't hurt at the end of a long ride.

Christ on a cracker! Engines give out vibrations... get over it already. The belt tensioner GREATLY helps reduce vibration. The Spyder vibrations are nothing compared to other motorcycles on the market, except the gold wing which is damn smooth.
If you want a ride without any engine vibrations then perhaps a car would be a better choice for you. Seems like you're far too sensitive to vibrations to be riding a motorcycle at all.

Sorry to have offended you and a few others. My goal was to have BRP correct the problem on future productions. My other bike is a 2007 Suzuki Hayabusa with a Stage 2 Velocity Turbo putting out 344 rwhp & 210# torque on a 530# bike. This isn't my 1st rodeo. Could I have some cheese on that cracker?. Dyno chart attached.

I think whine would be more appropriate for you to have with your cracker.

I hate to have to say this :shocked:, but your finely-tuned buzz-finding butt is probably set to be too sensitive.
Dan is right: anything with an engine will produce vibrations, and triples can often be pretty funky.
You can either accept them for what they are...

...or move on to the next project.

These bikes don't have a problem; other than riders who have a problem accepting them for what they are.

Oh! :congrats: on the power that your 'Busa is making! :bowdown:

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!

Doc, how can I get a bracket for the F3 tensioner to fit my 2016 RT Limited?

Thanks,
Ron

Please PM me.

I am going to start calling this kit a vibration damper kit.....seems more accurate.

I'd have to agree with that.

If you get Doc's adapter, and BRP's tensioner: you betcha!

Bob I figured you would have a picture of a bunch of turkey sandwiches today !
