My 2014 RT exhibits an anyoing engine vibration coming off idle at around 1200 RPM. It is NOT belt related since it occurs when standing. It is especially annoying when starting out. At idle it is smooth, but going through 1100 - 1300rpm there is a slight vibration, then everything is smooth again. I do have a belt tensioner device installed, but again the vibration will occur when standing. Maybe the 1330 is so darn smooth, I'm just being picky.

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.

How many miles on the bike.. I never take Spyder symptoms very seriously on a bike with under 3000 miles - over the years most of mine have gone away after a solid breakin
The vibrations are felt on the bars and on the mirrors. Again after it passes thru 1200, everything is smooth. The vib is only felt off idle as it passes thru 1200. At idle and above 1200, smooth. Mileage is 1,100.

Mine has a slight hesitation rather than a vibration
I talked to the dealer about it but am just waiting to take it in for its 3000 mile oil change and checkup. He said he will check out my 1400 rpm hesitation at that time. I'll let everyone know what he finds out.

Please keep us informed. A lot of times the situation gets this far and then we don't hear whether or not it gets fixed.
Visited the dealer today and checked another 2014 RT Limited. Same vibration as my 2014 RT Limited at 1200 rpm. Easy just check the mirrors as slowly accelerating from idle with the bike in neutral the vibration will be seed in the mirrors briefly as you go through 1200.

Inline triple vibes
Inline triples have a natural vibration, kind of an oscillating type at both ends of the crankshaft. That 1979 Yamaha 750 had lots of it because it was rigidly mounted to the frame and didn't have a counterbalancer shaft in it. Both of my Triumph triples had a balancer shaft and were a lot smoother but there were still some harmonic vibes at certain RPM levels. I suspect the Rotax 1330 ACE also has a balance shaft and what you are experiencing is a harmonic vibration which happens at certain RPMs. It's the nature of the beast so-to-speak.

Spoke with dealer
when I took my Spyder in for it's 3,000 mile break-in inspection. He made a few routine adjustments and recalled seeing something in his manual about a 1,400 rpm (or so) problem. He couldn't remember if it was for a vibration, hesitation, etc. and said he'd check it out and let me know if he found anything. I trust the tech and will let everyone know if anything turns up.

Question: Is this vibration happening if you rev the engine up, and the bikes ISN'T in gear?
This might just be the normal feel of your clutch plates doing their thing, at engagement time... :thumbup:
