Post by: xsel777 on November 02, 2015, 05:52:06 PM: I once got higher topend with lower revs (7500) by moving the washer/spacer on outside of variator to inside of outer sphere. I also increased the weight of the rollers by inserting metal tubing into the inner metal part,as it is just not possible to get other than standard weights,from my research on the subject.

I would say it was just redline.

Only real mods are the BRISK gaples sparkplug (save me checking and changing) and the Malossi variator (as in my previous post)

Additional mods. for interest ... are twin tone horns (EBAY about Â£5 delivered)

And white LED strips fitted to the underside of the side skirts 8) (just because I had some strip left over from a DIY project)

But then these would not affect the top speed :D
