• 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.

Smoothspyder tensioner installed

It works!
It pretty much got rid of most of the vibrations.
Thing I did different was that recommended 8-10 pounds of tension was putting too much pressure on the belt so I backed it off to 2 and it was much better and still eliminated most of vibration.
There was a little hiccup but Jim took care of it.
I felt the price was little high but I also understand that development of new products cost money and it is a low volume product. Still, to get rid of gut wrenching vibration that felt like it was tearing me apart too, not just the spyder, it was worth it. :)
Hopefully, it will last a long time.
 
It will....

I have a 2012 RS and the smoothspyder tensioner has been on it since I got it 7 years ago. Has worked great and keeps you running smooth. It also keeps the belt tight to the sprocket not allowing any slop which has the benifit of keeps most debris out from between the belt and the sprocket :riding:
