Has anybody heard any more on this, if it's switchable to miles ? I em liking it as it has a fuel gauge... Was considering a trailtech viper but it has no fuel gauge.. |

yes 2 spot welds in there holding it in turned out to be only one spot weld. the other area that looked like a spot weld was just paint. this thing was nothing to get out, just stick something in there and work the restrictor back and forth to break that one spot weld and out it comes, easy peasy. |

It is a very big deal, it don't matter his reason.. If it was a car or motorcycle he would have not moved it, the only reason they didn't come and get you was it was light weight.. He had no right what so ever to touch your property without your express permission, And merely parking in that lot does not give him that right.. And that's what you tell him.. i read about the issues you have had. do you feel less load would mean less problems? i will be butting about 60 lbs less on my stroker build. It's really hard to say, I see many of the 2 strokes getting 60 and 70 mph speeds and it makes me wonder whats happening with mine, I know mines a 4t but the metallurgy of the components I thought should be about the same.. I've had my drive belt go so high on the variator it put a 1mm groove in my old Kevlar belt rubbing against the starter bendix, I destroyed a NCY Teflon coated variator, the heat generated destroyed a what was left of my Kevlar belt, and melted my CVT cooling fan. The NCY variator was 89 mm the Hoca is 87 I'm hoping the slightly smaller variator will keep my belt out of the bendix, and the slightly smaller variator radius will withstand the torque forces better,. And I also cut cooling holes in my CVT cover.. Time will tell the rest.. My best guess is that the 139 was not designed for this so it's trial, error and $$$ making every thing work, and I think the majority of my load is coming from wind resistance, I don't see 60 lbs making much of a difference.. I should also mention that I'm still having to use the kick and starter combo to get it started.. Needs a higher torque starter, or a different starting design all together so I can remove the bendix from the cvt.. Another thought might be an additional head gasket to lower the compression a little, this may help solve the starting problem.. I welcome any thoughts anybody may have on this.. |

60 lbs on a scooter designed for a maximum 220 lbs load is alot bro.
As for lowering compression I used 2 thick hoca base gaskets on my 50mm motor and yeah the cam bearings and chain were tight but it has 4000 miles on it now and runs oh so good so I dont see a problem there.

You may be right about 2 base gaskets, the chain was tight, but two base gaskets may be the answer.... Didn't want to tear it down again, but it looks like ill have to. New rings, a honing tool, and two gasket sets.

when you torque the head down and compress the 2 gaskets some of the tension on the chain will be relieved.

Yea that's what I was thinking 1Fast, that the gasket squish would allow just enough slack in the timing chain.. If I have to I can pre-tighten to get the squish, then put the rocker and cam and timing chain on, then torque it down.
I just came back from a 80 Mile round trip, CVT was cool enough to put your hand on and leave it. It was little warm, but not hot at all, took the cover off and every looks really good.. I believe the slightly smaller variator and the holes in the CVT cover helped a lot. But the temp outside is only 52 degrees..
When every thing works it's an absolute dream to drive.. Think now also I should invest in some Pirelli tires LOL

Well the starter is a DC motor, either the polarity is reversed or its reversed in the starter, hence a factory defect... Id try a different starter on it..
