Dr Pulley Slide Pieces Won’t Fit
« on: November 11, 2026, 09:09:29 PM »
The variator plate on a Cali Classic 200i is designed for a different style of slide pieces than the Dr Pulley’s, does this mean I can’t use Dr P sliders?

Is the picture showing up?

Dang, just spoke to a Lance rep, need to get a different variator in order to use the sliders.  No thanks.

Anyone need 14 x 18 13g dr pulley sliders?

that's interesting. I would have thought that variator design was pretty much standardized by now. My variator experience is limited to a Kymco and a Honda, but they are the same.

This would be nice, to have a standartized CVT.
I guess there are at least ten different variants out there, and each producer claims to have the best.

That's one strange looking plate!

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

To be clear, it’s the variator ramp plate causing the problem (of dr pulley slides not fitting).
Guess if I had better presence of mind and more familiarity w scooter parts, I would have figured out from pics of the slides that they wouldn’t work on my scoot.

But I’ve been overwhelmed this summer by all three bikes breaking down simultaneously, having to take all of them apart trying to figure out the causes🤯, so attention to details has been lacking

all 3 bikes at once? I've often had 1 and sometimes 2 of my 3 down for repair...but never all 3! Hope you worked through it.
