j costa variator

[iker]

hi, i read someone asking about a costa variator. i have a 2006 burgman 400s .bought it with 2000 miles on it.at that time a got a costa to replace jerkey and noisy stock variator . wow what a difference ,very smooth on takeoff no roller noise and a lot faster on takeoff . bike now has 9000miles  with no problems at all. top speed is about the same 95 mph,thats at 4300 alt. and a 250 lb rider. cant remember price around 280, i think. i have a 2010 yeager gt 200i . just got it and think its a great machine. no need for a costa onn this baby. thanks, iker

..welcome to th' forum iker!!

..different variators can make a big difference in how a scoot performs..

..the weight of the variator itself, coupled with the supplied roller weights can make drastic changes in acceleration, mid and top end...

..that yager is an awesome scoot!!!

i have actually seen one of those.. .. heard some great things about the costa.........it sure looks different, would like to try one myself, not on the smaller zx tho.

..was that the one with all those rollers all around it...

..saw something different over on scooterinvasion...

[thebatman]

yeah, it has like 10-12 "rollers",(but they arent rollers), its different than a regular variator.... expensive too..

[wordslinger]

..didn't get rave reviews on scooterinvasion...

[thebatman]

well that blows.   wouldve figured something like that would have worked..        sh**, i havent even mastered the variator YET, so i couldnt anyway.

your right ,Batman. the costa doesnt use rollers instead it uses 12 pins with round heads in the burgman .
