• 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.

Do all SPYDERS squeal when you give them gas?

Belt Tensioner
Just put on Smooth Spyder Tensioner on road 100 miles and all I can say is Holy Poop!!! This thing smooths my RT right out no vibes or belt noise. Can't understand why BRP doesn't put theses on at the factory. CAPT. JIM you the man fast shipping great directions. Excellent product!!!!!
 
niander99 get yourself a cricket tool and set the belt tension to a lower spec. I think they have your belt way to tight if it's squealing. I have my belt set at 115lbs with the smoothspyder tensioner at 12lbs and works great no squeal and no vibrations.

Thanks for the update. U just had the 1st service done on my 2012 and it still squeals so I guess I am going to have to look into the SmoothSpyder.
 
"Rotational chirping" when accelerating sounds exactly like the symptoms Imhad a week ago when I picked upca small rock chip that lodged in the rear sprocket. It was very hard to spot. In fact, I could not spot it until it started to produce a very light parttern on the belt. ( glad I check it often.) the "chirp" would disappear after out riding for a while.
 
Our 2011 RTs squeals with delight when I open the throttle, so does my better half and I have a wide grin on my face....not into squealing myself!
