It will most likely be hidden where it runs through to the rollers have to remove to see.You are going to need to replace a belt someday Its good practice.The roller ramp is on the right side.

No I cant remove it yet until Iget this impact wrench.. The job will be a whole lot easier when I have the proper tools! I just hope its not too difficult to remove th variator and remove/replace the washer/restrictor

It's quite easy just try to hold the roller housing together once the rest is off.You will be able to see how it works and know where all the parts go.Another note you will have to relieve the pressure on the belt at the clutch side.Just have to compress the spring It's stiff and rotates a bit.

Are you quite sure that its restricted because I te bt which the clings on on the variator was flat and smooth with no washer just the outer pulley and inner pulley between it. Will the restriction be somewhere else? Also what do you mean by compress the spring?

actually I ment de-compress.You can do it by hand It's a litte tight,you will pull the clutch ramps apart slightly and push the belt into the groove to give you enouph play to get the belt off the veriater side.The boss rides inside the roller ramp you can not see all of it.The lip would most likely be inside if restricted that way.I do not own this model but most are the same.Good luck

i've heard the springs are too tight and if you loosen them your bike runs quicker?

De-restricted you should be able to run right around 50mph.
