Had the sprocket recall done, now it's got a vibration! Which Belt Tensioner?

[Scooter1942]

I had my 2017 F3T serviced for a recall on the sprocket. I now have a vibration between 60 & 65 mph which I did not have before. The mechanic suggested installing a belt tensioner. Is there any difference between the tensioner from BRP and Lamonster Garage?

Huge difference in quality and robustness. Get the Lamonster product.

Yeah,LaMonster did his homework…..it is the better choice.

Belt vibration is reduced when the belt is adjusted to 180lbs on a krickit device. Dealers typically go around 200 lbs.

B.S. - Spyders don't NEED a belt tensioner - PERIOD ...... they screwed something up .... changing that sprocket should NOT have caused those vibes ...... as Dennis said lower the belt tension ( IMHO 160 lbs. wheel on ground ) I'll bet the Tech set your tension to fACTORY SPECS WHICH IS WAY HIGHER THEN 160LBS. .... GOOD LUCK ....Mike :thumbup:
