Various Variators with Varying Victories?
« on: July 31, 2010, 07:11:44 AM »
Hey guys,

After reading so many of your posts, it seems that after CDI, Inlet and Exhaust, fitting a good CVT setup seems crucial in chasing more speed, and better ride-ability, regardless of your choice of ride.

Can any of you please tell me which is the best for me to fit to my Like 50 4T?

I have noticed that there is a big variation (pun intended!) between different Variator setups that some of you have tried, succeeded, and failed with.....

Thanks a bunch guys, and happy scooting.

Josh

Ha! I think the most in common will be the malossi veriater If chaseing more the drive face,clutch and belt length are a must. How to set it up is the tricky part. This seems to be different between all the models and the actual hp you are producing.
