• 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.

RTS drive belt

ok so I have a 2015 RT S which needed a new belt drive due to a rock that found its way into the rear sprocket and punched a hole in the belt. No issue right...well after the dealership received too small of a belt and then the return only to receive an empty box from BRP the right belt did arrive. Well here's the surprise, it seems that the 2015 RT had two releases that year and mine was the later. Has anyone heard of this or is it just the dealer pulling my leg? :hun:
 
All Spyder RT 2014 to current use the same belt part number. Some of the newer F3 Limiteds with the smaller rear pulley use the same belt.
 
The drive belt hasn't changed on the RT since 2014 with the introduction of the 1330 motor.
2014 - 2018 part # 705501304
 
Your dealer is pulling your leg - or he just doesn't know how to read. For whatever reason, the OEM parts listings include the RS and ST belt part number in the parts list for the RT, and vice versa. Item 38 on Drive System - Rear. But it's clear which is which. 2015 appears to be the only model year parts listings that do that. Just a database issue. Check out Cheap Cycle Parts and see for yourself.
 
BELT SIZE

All Spyder RT 2014 to current use the same belt part number. Some of the newer F3 Limiteds with the smaller rear pulley use the same belt.
:agree: .... however I think there may be another possibility ..... Spyders that are shipped to certain other countries have a different rear Sproket ( larger ) so it has a larger belt ...and it's possible that one of those got sent by mis-take .......jmho ... Mike :thumbup:

Pior to the 2014 all us spyders had the same belt. In comes the 1330 with a longer belt on the RT then the came the F3. What never happened to my knowledge it any belt change with in the same years production. There are the european and south american models with some differences.. :thumbup:
