I'm thinking if the torque pulley opens wider,the front has to close
more to keep the belt tight and ride higher up front..Is this right?
If so,then we need to make sure the weight tracks and pulley will
give us that extra squeeze to keep the belt tight.Man a scoot is a
real balancing act!!

Yeah. I took both of the the roughly 1mm variator washers out that I normally use to try and make sure the belt travels all the way out up front. I did a quick burnout so I could see the pulleys move and the belt goes very close to the edge of the front pulley. It's hard to tell just how far it is in the rear pulley.

Why not just check it on the center stand?

My center stand doesn't get the wheel off of the ground at all so I have to do a burnout. It's more like having 2 kickstands. lol

oh, i see, now that you mention it i remember from your vids. At least its not a tire shredding burnout. I pictured you roasting the hell out of your tire trying to look at the trans to see if it were shifting right lol. That would be a video lol!

You were running two 1mm spacers and still hitting over 55mph? Running them stacked? |

I almost made a video but thought better of doing it more. I already made a little smoke and boy does that tire get sticky. It's a shame I can't launch hard enough to use the grip it's capable of.

Oh, to answer the question I missed... I was running 2 spacers stacked and doing over 55. Even with 2 1mm spacers the belt won't reach the center of the front pulley though. Withthe worn belt at 15mm and 2 spacers it still didn't reach the center. I've diled off every bit of the recess for a restrictor washer and filed the vari down close to the brass sleeve inside.

Decided to open the CVT case today after getting the carb close, The TD would seem to 'hang' in one position,so I tore it down to find the upper 'O'-ring sheared from improper assembly causung all of the lube to puke out over many miles.Wanted to cut the slots,here is the stock;  And after hogging it out;  Pulley width went from 1.435" to 1.525",but the seal overhangs the clutch backplate,will fab a spacer washer to get the extra travel.. Question??Ya'll mention 'spacer washers' in the variator,where the heck do they go?My belt will not 'bottom out' on the variator pulley,how can I get it to?? |

At the end of the drive boss, slide it on the crank right before you put the vari face on.

I tried to make a shim,but after measuring only needed to remove .025" so I trimmed the back flange of the seal back to the metal, them machined off the excess flange on the TD body.The 'O'ring groove is very close to the seal groove so very little of the seal groove can be cut before it gets into the 'O'ring groove,maybe .030 to.040"  |

I just left the seal in and filed away. Filed the seal and the TD at the same time. Now the pulley doesnt hit the clutch plate when it opens all the way. I couldnt really cut anything out of my pulley grooves, looks like its already been done lol.  Heres a before pic of the top.  And here is the after shot. You can see that there isnt a little edge on top anymore.  Not sure this did much but maybe lower the rpm,s a tad at higher speeds. |
