I have a 2022 Can Am F3 limited. There is no place to mount a belt tensioner on this bike that I can find. And the belt on mine is bow string tight so maybe putting one of these one my bike, if I could, may cause problems. The dealership where I bought my Can Am stated that these late models don't need a belt tensioner and I would be wasting my money to purchase one. But, as I said, I can't find the mounting holes for the belt tensioner anywhere on the left side of my bike.
mmmm ok bow string tight , I would have thought that would put an enormous amount of pressure on the front pulley shaft (seal etc). This is one of these situations where I guess you have to trust your dealer, in saying that it wouldn’t hurt to call another dealer to get a second opinion. Unfortunately I don’t have any experience with the latest model but a second dealer cal might be worth exploring.
Really good question, I’m not sure I suppose only time will tell but will do another review after about 5000 Kms (3000mls) and see how worn it is, bearings etc. Cheers.
great info Steve, thanks

Good video Steve, Maybe next time take that cat with you while rYding :)
Ye on wrong side of road mate! Haha
Keeps it interesting 👍
What is the lifespan of this tensioner? Seems a bit fragile.
