Congratulations..!!

That is a sweet new ryde..:2thumbs: as for the vibrations there are some tensioners that are working out well . Check with smoothspyders and baker built. They are sponsors on the home page. The longer belt has made it a bit of a problem hope they come along with a solution, brp that is....:thumbup:

:congrats: on your new F3. I love that color. :yes::yes:

Vibration on the high end has been mentioned many times now. There appears to be an issue on some, but not all F3's sold.

The mention of the SmoothSpyder tensioner has been mentioned as a solution by some.

BRP needs to address and solve the issue. My dealer is experiencing it on his personal F3.

Congratulations!! That thing is really sweet. You don't see many orange ones on here. I am living with the vibration hoping BRP will do something but as noted the SmooyhSpyder tensioner is getting great reviews.

Congratulations. At 1,300 miles the vibration seems to be a lot less than the first 500 miles. I don,t cruise above 65 that Much for it to matter .

Vibration

Did anyone have any luck with the dealer, I have had my spyder for less than a week and most of my miles are on highway so far, that 68-73Mph shake is very bad. My mom rides a 2015 RT-S with almost 12k on it, and no vibration even within the first week of having it. Going on three big rides in the next few weeks would love to have it fixed before I travel.

Its easy to move past the vibration area by rocking the throttle a little. I have 3500.00 miles on my F3 now and the vibration is almost completely gone. I think it has to do with putting some miles on the engine or belt or both. I might consider the smooth spyder gadget, if the vibration returns.

 

[OJ UK]

I agree with Mr. Tazzel! I now have over 5000 miles on my F3 and any vibration
that was there has now disappeared.
I believe that this is due to the belt getting more pliable with use. Anyone who has ever
had a motorcycle with a 'tight spot' in the chain will know what I mean.

Glad you like your new F3-S, napper!!

the dealer checked belt,and sdded air to the front tires.they only had 10 pounds in them and now much better but atill a small amount vib.at 68 t0 73 so if it don't get better with moor milage ill go for smooth spyder.love the bike.and I posted on another post about my bags I put on so if you missed that one here are some piks of the bags ,and also a pik of my shark radio
