F3 Vibration

[Tazzel]

I don't know what I am doing but my vibration is almost gone. If I didn't know it was there I wouldn't know it. I did have the first service done the other day and they might have changed the adj on the belt.:clap::yes::yes::yes::yes:

Yes my vibration is almost gone as well after 2500 miles

Vibration on new f3

Mine did this on way home from dealer, when it starts if you back off throttle and then increase slowly it go away.
should not have to put up with that on a $30 thousand dollar machine. Shame on BRP.

Vibration has disappeared

3000 miles and my vibration has disappeared.

I was getting a bad vibration right around 62mph. I put some more air in my tires (22 in front 32 rear) and the vibration disappeared.

I got the vibration today on my way home from work (2016 F3T with 150 miles). It's noticeable - especially since your so used to the ride being smooth and all of a sudden it kicks in. Mine was at about 75mph. I slowed down and it went away. I'm not going to panic since most people have said on here it eventually goes away. But I have to say it's not just normal motorcycle vibration. The whole bike and your body vibrates. Anyone else have any more updates regarding their F3s?

All Spyders have belt vibration and the best and only way to stop it is spend your money and fit a Smoothspyder -An easy fix for F3 vibration. End of all your problems with vibration forget about the rest this is the BEST.

I'm not sure what the vibration feels like....

You haven't felt it. I knew right away. The whole bike shakes to the point where it's hard to see. I'm not panicking since it seems to be common, but it isn't pleasant. Most people here says it will stop as I break the bike in. I'm going to take it a couple hundred miles this weekend.

It does not and will not go away no matter how may miles you put on unless you fit a belt tensioner believe me, you can get the belt re-tensioned and all that does is shift the vibration to different speed.

I don't recall anybody saying it shakes to the point it's hard to see.
I guess my bike isn't broken it yet I only have 14,000 and the grinding vibration still rears it's ugly head every once in awhile.

may be normal. I'm not implying it happens on every bike. I'm new to the Spyder so I won't speculate whose bike is broke in and who's isn't. My point was I didn't know what people were talking about until I felt it myself. I only get the vibration on the highway at about 75 mph. I'm not stessing over it, just acknowledging it's there.

So, I took my new F3 on it's first long ride yesterday which entailed some freeway driving. Turns out I have the belt harmonics between 67 mph and 72 mph. Has anyone found a solution to this issue, or has anyone had any success with a resolution through Can Am. :ani29:

I installed the Smooth Spyder Tensioner which is advertised on the forum. Super easy install....super easy to adjust and has totally eliminated the vibration....Period!!!

 

[armyspydervet]

I looked at them, but it says they don't fit the F3T

Vibration gone

Vibration on my F3-S has totally disappeared. Just over 3000 miles on mine.:thumbup:

 

[SpyderF3-s]

Frustrated with the issue

I have over 8000 miles on my F3-S and still have the vibration.:yikes: Almost everyone has the issue, dealers say it is within specs, you send $$$, and BRP says it is normal. It is definitely a belt issue. Why should anyone spend more $$ to fix a BRP issue? :banghead: :bdh:

F3T

It will be interesting to find out if owners of the F3T and other 2016 models experience vibration issue.:dontknow:

 

[Tazzel]

5k miles still feel the vibration between 65mph to 67mph. I rock the throttle a little to get past it. Not as bad as when first new. To me its no big deal. Do I wish the Spyder was a perfect machine, absolutely but finding that in any bike is impossible.

Two post up from your post the gentleman says he has a F3T. That's disturbing since it has a different swingarm!

No not really, It is a Spyder= belt driven=some vibration

2016 F3T Limited SS triple black... Not one bit of vibration anywhere, or at least as much as I have experienced on anything else in 24 years of riding. You know, cars usually have no vibration at all. Maybe stick to the cage. Food for thought... :roflblack:

Oh don't look at me like that. I am only joking around!:thumbup:
