• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Doc Humphreys RT BELT VIBRATION DAMPER KIT

So before I order,...

I need BRP part 219800412 AND Doc Humphrey's adapter RT belt vibration adapter kit.. Together these components manage belt vibration, right?

And, these parts are instead of the other belt tensioners that are on the market.

If I'm not understanding this right someone please re-explain before I spend $80 on parts.

Thanks, Dale

You are 100 % correct. Those two parts are all you need. Just watch the video on the installation and you are ready to go.

I put one of these on my 15RT and I can assure you it works! This is the exact way that the Spyder should have felt from day one.

Yes that is everything you need. If you have been suffering with the dreaded vibration between 65 and 70 you will be pleasantly surprised! Install is very easy and straightforward. Doc also simulated a catastophic failure of the rear suspension and it still clears the gas tank which is why BRP said not to use it on the RT. I have almost 1000 miles on mine and have all been vibration and trouble free miles.

Parts are ordered! Looking forward to smoother operation.

I watched the video and I've never removed those side panels before. Looking forward to learning.

WOW!! I ordered the kit from Doc less than an hour ago and just got a notice it has shipped already! Called the local dealer and they have the idler unstuck for me to PU. What a pleasure doing business with Doc and Procaliber Vancouver Washington!
 
You can get the kit from Doc Humphreys at Roadsterrenovations.com. and you will need Can Am's Idler Belt Kit part number 219800412 available at your local dealer. Both items are about $35.00, but Pit Bull Powersports stated that they have 40 of them on order and it seems most dealers are sold out of them right now but have them on order. Doc Humphrey also has a good installation video on his web site.

Just ordered mine tonight. I got the Idler from Florida Power Sports via Amazon and the bracket and bolt kit from Doc Humphrey. Hope I get them before the end of the year 2016.

Do you have a link on Amazon for the Idler kit
or what is needed in the search box to locate it
Thanks
 
I would suggest that you contact Doc Humphreys, he is the one who made the kit. I know he has been trying the kit on different years and models, so he would be able to give you the best answer.
 
Once us RT owners found out that they could be adapted to our bikes; BRP was never going to be able to keep up with the demand... nojoke
