Belt Tensioner

[gerald37]

I have asked a couple time if the Belt tension er is really worth the money. I don't really notice vibration from my belt but I might be getting a little. I just wander if it is worth the money. Will it increase the life of the belt or what advantage is it?

Yes, Yes , and Yes

Hi Gerald,

I was not getting much(?) vibration on my '14 RTS but I got the tensioner because mechanical vibration will cause something to work loose after prolonged periods of time. Parts do fall off or break on machines that are prone to vibrations.

So, Yes, Yes , and Yes, get the new tensioner with 2 bearings.

If I do it won't be any ones but Doc's. If my health gets back I ride 20,000 to 25,000 miles a year. I don't want to chance a bearing going out on the road.
