Yeah,looks a bit crooked,,howz it turn over?Throwing some heat(bernzomatic or big heat gun) to the cases at the main bearing outer bosses should relieve the internal stresses..  |

It should spin over very easily holding the end of the crank. Shouldn't feel any sticking.
It's not a good idea to clamp the case halves together using the bolts.
Sometimes you might need a very light tap on the end to centre the crank using a copper mallet.

As far as a starting point for my CVT tune, I was going to start with a yellow (medium) Malossi torque spring, medium clutch springs screwed out ¾ (Polini 3G clutch), and something like 5gr rollers in the variator. Does that sounds like a good starting point in a Malossi over range? Sounds like a good start with your set up The yellow contra will make your variator weights act lighter for shifting you will rev higher You might be going up one higher on clutch spring or that spring at full tension . I run the medium polini springs on a street pipe with a standard clutch Cool, I figured I’d start with the clutch springs almost all the way right that way I would know right away if I need to swap to a heavier spring or not. |

Those pics are from like two or more weeks ago though, so I’m just asking out of paranoia. It’s been bugging the hell out of me since I put the cases together.
I haven’t turned it over yet, I’ve been getting my girlfriend’s scoot ready for summer and fixing other odds and ends on mine before I’m ready to start it. When I spun the crank inside the cases after assembly, it felt good though. I didn’t feel any hang ups or anything like that after I got the cases together.

Here’s the bike in its current state. Some odds and ends and wire up the Koso gauge and I should be ready to start dialing things in.  |

Hoping to kick this bad boy over and start her up today! Been making steady, but slow progress lately. I'll take some pics and go over some of my trials and tribulations later, but I have a question right now... I have all the wiring figured out on my Koso gauge except for the RPM wires. I want to install the RPM pickup in series with the coil, but am a little confused as to what to do with one of the wires (which I believe is a negative?). Here's the diagram. I'm using the wire set circled in red and want to achieve the "B" method of installation that the blue arrow is pointing at. In the diagram though, it doesn't tell me what to do with the black wire.  Would this be correct?  |

Thinking about it more... are the two connectors just different options and I should use one or the other? This seems to make the most sense.  If so, I could just cut one and solder onto the orange wire that connects to the coil, correct? |

Your first pic looks correct,second will work also,but you'll be cutting up your harness,#1 is plug in...

So I've mocked up my idea for a reserve tank via the oil tank. Took a couple picks... not super pretty.   It looks like there's a lot going on there lol, but I think it will work... My only concern is that the oil tank will be operating off of a gravity fed switch/petcock and the regular gas tank will be operating off of the normal vacuum petcock. Will this cause any issues anyone can think of? |

Looks ok to me, I would use non ethanol gas in at least the reserve tank unless you plan to use the reserve tank monthly. |

Looks ok to me, I would use non ethanol gas in at least the reserve tank unless you plan to use the reserve tank monthly. I’ll probably run the reserve tank out weekly I’m hoping. Just because I can haha. There is one gas station near me that looks like the sketchiest in the state that is listed as having ethanol free though. I may use this as a excuse to check it out haha. Question regarding ethanol free: if I were to tune my motor using ethanol free and then start using ethanol gas, would it effect my tune? Asking because there’s a transparent float bowl made for my carb that has the Dell style drain/jet swap bolt that would make it super easy to tune, but will degrade with ethanol fuels. |

I have never noticed a tuning diffeence between ethanol vs non-ethanol, but I have never uses high end setups either. As far as the transparent float bowls go, I believe someone once said they are no good for continuous use, only diagnostic. |

Those clear bowls are only for setup. The Dellorto web site say "NB: To be used for testing only, not as a permanent fitting"
