I am eyeballing a Mollasi variator kit for about 300 bucks which is designed to be an upgrade to the stock variator. Alongside the kit will also be installed new rollers to accommodate so I do not lose acceleration.

Does anybody have experience with upgrading to a higher end, or even racing variator? I mean the kit is designed for this bike so.

Would like to know what to look out for.

Thanks

Thanks again MJR!

It was great to visit you.

I don't get home till around 5pm.

Would it be inconvenient to you if I got there around 5:30 or 6:00?

If so just let me know, don't want t bug you. I also wanted to see if you felt anything wrong with my bikes performance.

Mine was pretty bad, possible.

Well, would you care to share the solution you came to?

Straighter valve or Schrader valve? You mean the little spring valve thingy that screws into the tire valve stem?

Yes, the valve inside the air valve stem where you pump air into the tire.

But that was just a side detail, the main inquiry is regarding transmission. I have an appointment for a diagnostic next weekend but want to go in there armed with knowledge.

Any idea what are some common causes of low end throttle vibration?

That's kind of sad.  If you hadn't been on the brakes when you hit the pothole, you might have just kept on driving.

Of course, I hit a similar pothole @ 70mph, and it broke the muffler pipe, the muffler, and damaged the steering column bearings/races.

For the OP, rims "should" outlast the bike.  Only an accident, collision with road debris, a pothole, driving on flat tires, pretending its a trials bike, or the like should cause a rim replacement.  They simply don't wear, at all, in normal operation.

What do you mean by "Pretending it's a trials bike"?

In California it was until recently as you found out above neither legal nor illegal. Lane splitting was just this year legalized and it was kicked over to the CHP I believe to set a list of recommendations for implementation.

Did you buy one? Bert's had two used ones and one was a buy back from a guy in Escondido. It have a CBailey tinted larger windscreen and custom modified seat for better rider placement.

I almost bought a used 700 myroad at Berts a couple months ago but when I called in to place a down payment on it they sold it already. The Myroad has been discontinued and no longer in production. I may still buy a new old stock in the next couple months sometime. The Xciting was Exciting for a little while but I want more power. 65 HP vs 39? I will take that 65 any day. Along with the larger engine displacement.

Photo?

Where is the photo upload option? Is the only way to first upload it to an external site and use image embed codes?

If so, how 2006.....
