Title: ..95 mm variator..
Post by: wordslinger on May 27, 2010, 09:16:13 PM
...so, this Polini is 95mm...just 5mm greater than my Malossi...is it worth a try??

..how much difference could 5mm make....

Wow, notice the notches at the end of the ramps?  That is exactly what I tried doing!  I bet 5mm will make a noticeable difference.  I would think at least a few extra mph's!  The other thing to consider is you will need a slightly longer belt to utilize the extra height.

my thought is the same. Take 5mm off your belt and the difference is huge. Try wrapping 5mm of electric tape around your Malossi, and be sure it will fit first. I think that, and an orer-range clutch will get you close to 60mph.

http://www.exriders.com/archive/topic/380672-1.html (http://www.exriders.com/archive/topic/380672-1.html)    Some of this gets juvinal, but there are some good points made here. It's gonna be more involved than jetting was to get the set-up correct. There are a few good ideas for sourcing the parts in here too. My comp. has still got a few bugs to work out so I can't surf around too much yet, BUT I WILL KEEP TRYING FOR YOU BRO...

..josh, over at scooterinvasion forum spoke of this set...

...this look intriguing....

..it has a 1000 torque spring tho....


..two slightly different versions..

..less than $200.00

...what you see thats not right with the first pic set??..

..it's 20 bucks more, but the clutch bell has that cool "N" cut into it...
Title: Re: ..95 mm variator..
Post by: zombie on May 29, 2010, 02:19:38 AM
I think the "N" is the frame shape they based the Eiffel Tower on. I could be wrong!

..i reckon ncy is a respectable brand??

...it just seem like probably a good upgrade given that i have so many miles on my scoot..and ALL it's OEM parts..
Title: Re: ..95 mm variator..
Post by: zombie on May 29, 2010, 02:56:23 AM
No Doubt! 200.00 for a full cvt is outstanding. I wish you could see it all first. Ps. I blew my belt today riding wheelies for my friends kids. It's not ALL bullet proof~

Theyre both from the same taiwanese company, only scooterworks is cheaper.  I'd go with them.  I just checked on NCY's website, scooterworks seems to be a direct US distributor for NCY, so i guess that's why they're chaeper.

You can surely get either kit from scooter works. Remember Tronics re orders when you do. Works may have them in stock.

Post by: wordslinger on May 31, 2010, 01:30:27 AM
...there should be a formula for determining what belt length would be needed if your variator is 5mm greater in diameter...
Title: Re: ..95 mm variator..
Post by: zombie on May 31, 2010, 01:40:09 AM
Measure the circumference of each one, and add the difference to the belt length.   I think...http://www.csgnetwork.com/pulleybeltcalc.html (http://www.csgnetwork.com/pulleybeltcalc.html)    determine belt length from pulley size   Just google that, and you will find it
Title: Re: ..95 mm variator..
Post by: wordslinger on May 31, 2010, 01:56:21 AM
The size is: 748 18 28

...you said in another post..



...provoscooter says Malossi Kevlar Dimensions 743 X 18 X 30

..i'm assuming the 700 number is the circumference....
Title: Re: ..95 mm variator..
Post by: zombie on May 31, 2010, 02:12:00 AM
I believe that is right. 700's=length    18=width    28=notch type. Gates also makes a kevlar belt, and you can direct order one at any given size. I'm trying this one as a spare as Malossi usa is out of stock on mine.   http://www.gates.com/ (http://www.gates.com/)    http://www.powersportsmax.com/product_info.php/products_id/14054 (http://www.powersportsmax.com/product_info.php/products_id/14054)

Hey Slinger I lost track of the post w/ the belt size. I have compared the oem #'s and they are different. The searching I have done give me #'s taht are every where from 739-752mm for the same belt. That may be why so many others have blown belts that are claimed to be correct. I had the same trouble when i installed the Malossi Var before doing the clutch. I would suggest getting the full kit deal, and the belt that matches. It seems the most reliable way. I will look more tomorrow

..you're probably right, but who really knows what belt is correct...

..i'm beginning to wonder....
Title: Re: ..95 mm variator..
Post by: zombie on May 31, 2010, 04:32:12 AM
Just take the OEM #, and google around that. you will find all sorts of claimed sizes. Take any one of them, and google that. it goes in circles w/ no clear winner. I think one of the formula programs will be the best approach to something that makes sense. If you can use 1 to get your stock size then you can work it from there to modify 1 or the other.
Title: Re: ..95 mm variator..
Post by: wordslinger on May 31, 2010, 04:35:16 AM
...i've seen at least a half-dozen different claims....

..i'm sure they must all "work", but one size must be "optimum...
Title: Re: ..95 mm variator..
Post by: zombie on May 31, 2010, 08:35:06 AM
I just realized I only got you by 4 posts. (w/ the spot)   Perhaps an old belt wraped around both pulleys, and cut in the top center can give you a good idea. Going by the old # add the missing mm's to a new #

..i gotta go ahead and get the cvt kit..

..i have 30,000 miles on my stock clutch, and my malossi variator is a little better than junk...

..ramp plate hole is not true...sliders are shot... those damaged areas on the 3 bosses are triple what they were in thos pics from a few months back...my rollers are wearing at a slight taper...

..the NCY has GOTTA be an improvement overall...

Title: Re: ..95 mm variator..
Post by: zombie on June 01, 2010, 06:28:10 PM
Just a thought! Contact Malossi, and fill them in. They may do a Gratis swap, or have an idea for a Malossi over-range kit for you. Try one of the phone #'s for the headquarters in Italy as they are the ones in charge. I realize the var doesn't owe you anything, but it may be interesting to see what they say. Tech support would be my first attempt.

Great stuff, wish i could do that aswell. Good luck with it and have fun installing it. The cars will be drafting you soon. ;)

..two-up, and up th' hills was a struggle at times, but i wanted an extreme comparison to before and after the kit...

Good-o, will be interesting to see the results, cars don't "draft' here, they just push. Had one come out of a show ground last week, didn't give a toss just kept on coming, passenger was horrified, driver didn't care. Four wheel drives are big enough for that.

...what bugs the crap outta me the most, is the ones that just will not go around...they'll ride your ass for miles, even on roads with a center turning lane...backing up traffic as far as you can see...

..two or three will pass from several positions back, ans STILL they just won't go...

after about 4 or 5 miles, they finally get up enough nerve to cross the yellow line, and by then...

..you have 25 pissed-off ppl behind you blaming it all on the scooter that's RIDING THE FRIKIN' WHITE LINE THE WHOLE DAMNED TIME!!!!...


...umm....

..sorry.....
