Not sure on the 270 but I seriously doubt it is much lower than our MXU450. The MXU 450 calls for 147ft. lbs. of torque and also requires red locktite. It may very well be working it's way loose. Which if it does come off can be terrible and cause a lot of damage inside the housing. I recommend you shut it down until you have time to get locktite and torque it much higher. I don't like guessing on those numbers but Arctic Cat also sells the 270 under their name. You may very well find more information about the 270 searching under Arctic Cat online. It would be shocking to find that the CVT was any different. I am running an Arctic Cat XC450 cvt sheaves that have been machined for faster acceleration in my MXU 450. I would also leave the cover off and either block it up or ride it yourself and look over the CVT system to make sure everything is right, Then install the cover. I would not allow anyone else to ride it with the cover off as that can be dangerous.
Let me edit that, Arctic Cat calls it as a 300 but it is the Kymco 270 motor, drivetrain.

That should give you the information you need for torque values, it is considerably lower than the 450 but higher than 30-40. Hope that helps you out some. Only other thing I can think of is maybe it needs to break in some. The speed should be 38 with the drive boss you installed. I have a niece with the Kymco 300. I'll try to get up with them and see what theirs will do.
Wow I think I'd snap the drive in half if I tryed to torque that high. It came off pretty easy and didn't have any locktite on it I didn't wanna go to hard and break it. I'll go put at 75lb and see if it helps I only took it around the corner and back. Thanks for help
