• 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.

BRP BELT TENSIONER

Mike, I believe I saw a post (or something) from Lamont very recently where they are offering a vastly upgraded roller to fit the BRP bracket.....I’ll see if I can find it.

Saw that too but that won't address the other issue with the BRP unit. And that is a weak spring that fails. I had actually felt the return of the vibs (tho lower intensity). My roller & bearings were in pristine condition on mine but the spring had no tension when I went to investigate it. I could lift the unit up and it would barely return so I had to replace it! Now I could have gotten a spring I'm sure etc etc but at that point of having to pull it out anyway I just bit the bullet and replaced it with something that was more well developed than the BRP unit.

Now if you were putting Lamont's on as your first idler he decides to upgrade the spring as well.... could be a good route. :thumbup:

I must have gotten a good one, I have over 17,000 miles on my BRP tensioner and it's still going strong.:dontknow:

Yeah, that is the prob. These things are all over the place when it comes to reliability and the ways that they fail! Again, not much development time on them.... But for 35.00 it did the job for as long as it did and I was happy with it....
 
Google 606 2rs & 626 2rs bearings and order 1 each. Remove idler roller and press single bearing from roller. Install the 606 bearing in place of the original, The roller has a step in the bore that fits the 626 bearing. Install a 1/4 inch spacer between the bearings and get a 6mm bolt about 10mm longer. assemble and reinstall. You now have a durable roller assy.
The 2 bearings should cost less than $2 each.
