...to say the least. lol I don't think the very rigid pipe works well for a street scoot at least. Cruising at 1/4 throttle or so at 8-9000RPM going 45ishMPH my feet and hands were getting numb by the time I made the 11 miles to my friend's house today. It split the metal, not the welds, right on the seam where the stinger bracket meets the pipe. I might take it to a local welder because I damn near ruined the thing just trying to weld the belly extension in burning through everywhere. The thing is a monster with this pipe and I can't imagine it with anything else... well I can, but it sucks. lol One good thing anyway. I got the right adapter for the tach from DROWsports. Seems to read the same as the other sender, but I have only been easy on it so I haven't seen over 285 or so. I was gonna run it WOT for a moment on the way home, but things didn't go quite as planned as you saw. www.drowsports.com/product/71/Electrical/Gauges/Koso_Air_Cooled_Temperature_Sensor_Adaptor_   |

Do you still have that slipping belt problem? Are you using your modded variator and pulley? Can you post pics of your assembled CVT. Just wanted to see the length of your belt when installed.

I don't have any belt slip issues now. I think it was actually a problem with the angles of the 2 halves of the vari causing a high rev spot that I thought was a slip. It's an unmodded Hoca vari now, modded fan, Bando 788 17 28 belt, 6g sliders, Hoca contra (stiffer than 2000), Hoca rear pulley/clutch assembly w/straight groove torque driver. Right now the belt is almost all the way to the center of the front pulley (2mm of spacers on the Hoca drive boss) and just shy of the edge of the rear pulley. I have been thinking for a while that the belt needs to be just a bit longer. I bought a 798 Gates and the stupid thing was shorter than my 788. :doh: I don't have a pic of it as it is ATM, but I can get one at some point if that description doesn't do it.

That's good news. No need for the cvt pic then. I just hope that you'll not get those belt edges worn out again.

Last time around it didn't even seem to wear the belt down. It looked like it snapped the cords and the belt flew apart.

This might help. 15 and 10 degree variator mod. Noticed anything?  |

Yeah. I dunno what mine are. When I mod the face I just do my best to file everything straight and even. lol

These best done on lathe and must be done on both halves. I also did those filing before but it ended up a slightly bent crank until I met this guy who taught me about cvt angles and thickness.

I'd love to do them on a lathe, just don't have one or access to one.

I was cleaning stuff out and came across the instructions for the Koso tach. I think I wasted my money getting the proper AC adapter in hopes it would read higher than 302 degrees...  |

glad to see that pipe regenerated :thumb: . love the revving sound of that. hope to see more vids of it revving. BTW what is the (rpm and exh duration) powerband that pipe was designed to?
