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.

That would be harmonic vibration from the belt. If yours wasn't delivered with the belt tensioner already on it I'd go back to the dealer and ask them to add it for you.
Thankyou I will do that!
I came from a Valkyrie (flat Six no vibration) to the Spyder. Its normal. My F3-T sounds like a box of rocks and the vibration is something to just ignore. My vibration finally went away at 5,000 miles or I just don't notice it any more. If it stops running you got something to worry about, just enjoy the ride. Get a set of Elka shocks, world of difference in handling well worth the price of Stage 3.

I get vibrations around 73MPH. I just go a little faster and they go away.

I mounted one of Doc's stabilizers, and it put an end to the harmonic vibration that I used to feel at highway speeds. :thumbup:

OEM is a good (cheap) fix
Had the Can-Am belt tensioner installed last year and I've forgotten that this used to be a problem (and is was a BAD problem on my F3-S.) It was about $35 plus install. Should have been a recall item but...life goes on.
Definitely get it and you will soon forget you used to have a vibration problem.

My dealer says hes never heard of a tensioner for these. Anyone have part numbers?

Did that and dealer says there are no BRP tensioners and if i install an aftermarket one my warranty is gone.

I put one on mine and bought it at the dealer. I think your dealer is the problem.

By any chance; do you have a part number for them?

yep F3 Limited. Forgot to put that in there. Still a noobie but my dealer seems surprised to hear that there might be a BRP tensioner.

Well wtf. You have the same machine. Your tensioner is a BRP accessory?

You da man. I just called and gave them the part number. Wouldnt you think they would have been able to find that?
So did this help your vibrations on the hwy at all? Wondering if i should have them do it while its there.
