Mongoose / Re: Where to buy aftermarket parts?

« on: February 16, 2011, 03:11:05 PM »

Kymco and PGO use a lot of the same engines in their Scooters. The parts are interchangeable with the CVT internals.

So the Kymco Xciting 300 uses the exact same engine and trans as the Mongoose/Maxxer.

The ATVs have a totally different final drive, so don't expect that overgear set to work

In the cvt there are rollers that vary the amount of rpm's it takes to run at a given speed. If you feel you are reving too high at top speed, you can add heavier rollers to bring down the rpms' or visa versa.

But will not affect your top speed.

The rollers dictate how quickly the CVT pushes the belt up the ramp. It can affect the rate at which the CVT gets into top gear, but unless you change the shape of the roller, cannot affect the overall gearing.

The only rollers I have ever seen that can change your overall gearing and give you quicker launch (lower gearing) at the bottom and higher top speed (higher gearing) is the Dr. Pulley - which don't much look like rollers at all, more like a strange board game piece...

Being that they are both Taiwanese, Dr. Pulley makes rollers (and clutches and sliders) for the entire Kymco range. A cheap and worthwhile performance mod, in most cases obviating the need for a clutch change - at least until the stock one is done in

For clutch and rollers, try Dr. Pulley - better launch and higher top end.

I have used Dr. Pulley on my MP3 Piaggio as well as my Maxxer 250 with great results.

As to clutch, unless there is something wrong with it, there is little reason to change it - it doesn't give you any performance benefit.

Tuning it is another matter - to either increase revs before take-up or to speed up 'grab'. You can do it with the stock clutch by playing with the springs, but if you must change it, again, Dr. Pulley makes a decent aftermarket tunable clutch for the Kymco.
