Another question for the hive, (I've been watching variator movies) is why isn't there any lube on the splines? Is it dry to prevent over-servicing and slipping?

Might be worth lightening the flywheel. There's a guy in Redford Twp. that machined one down for a Buddy project of mine and is currently doing the same to a stock Zuma flywheel on another project of mine. |

I'll have to look again but something has to move to pinch or release the belt, to change the ratios? Thank you for the reply, I guess I'll just tear into mine and perhaps it will make more sense.
OK, the penny just dropped, the "boss." Which is also mounted dry? I'm learning something new every day. |

If you coat the centre boss of the variator with engineers blue or coat it using a blue felt marker you will see if the belt travels to is smallest diameter, (lowest gear) because the colour will be worn off. If not you need to work on that. Might be as easy as a longer centre boss or a washer to make it longer but then you might lose a bit at the top end, if you are reaching max rpm. Stronger clutch springs will raise the stall speed. I.e. the RPM at which the clutch fully engages. Stronger springs will allow the clutch to slip a bit more. |
