I've never used that vari but I'm guessing it has elongated guides/tracks for the ramp plate to travel farther on the back of it? If so, the variator is too thick to fit and work right with the starter clutch in place. The Malossi over range variator needs part of the case that the starter clutch rides on removed as well.

Wow! This variator should work pretty good besides not have electric start

I know really nothing about it, but I certainly enjoy the performance from my Malossi OR that has those long tracks. Just make sure you keep that kickstart setup tip-top, cause you have no backup.

Yay I know about not having a back up last year I built a qmb with a cheap kit off of eBay and I kept killing the kick starter gears and the electric start wouldn't work found out the cylinder and piston clearance was a little to tight took it to a friend he took 20thousands out of the cylinder problem solved

it tells you to remove the starter stuff becuase its an oversized varatior basicly you installed 1/2 of an over range set up

i wouldnt run an oversized varatior with out the mathcin drive face
if it wasnt oversized you would be fine but the gain from an oversized is to allow the belt to go higher and give you a diffrent gear ratio
