my zx50 issues

Yep, like art said, if you have a leak seal it up. I had some oil on mine around the same area so sealed with permatex no.3.

 You will notice less belt dust when hitting the right range for your cvt and less heat.

yeah, imma go get sum gasket sealer right now just in case..lmao                    soooo art, good buddy, i guess your telling me im getting ready to be screwed again with this freakn cvt..........see why ppl love the hippie grass...lmao....

[wordslinger]

word is probably getting washed away yesterday an today...hang on homey...


..no, actually it was dry yesterday......rained a bit today, and i gotta storm coming my way now...

..bat, if you have a leak, that may be the root of your consistency delima...

[thebatman]

i swear imma go get sum sealer...lmao..  had to try cvt 1st... check this out, i just put in a set of 5.7g rollers (wish i had 6s).. take off slower, a bit of tug again BUT the top great, mid great, rpms are jamming uphill(like suppose to do, i think). better than the 6.5.. would 6s fix that or should i try the 2000flys...imma try them, sh**...i pretty much like 5.7 except for the slight tug at takeoff..DONT WANNA FK THIS BELT UP....LMAO

[thebatman]

well, take off still sux....seems to be all "2nd",no 1st(slow ass tug) no 3rd......guess its not meant for me to have any take off AT ALL..... scotty said i could either have take off or top end NOT BOTH..maybe he was right after all..top, mid is great..all 2nd tho....according to the paper, thats not right either......

Batman- You should really make yourself a leak-down tester!  It's the only way to be certain of no air leaks!  That could definitely be the root of your inconsistency!  There is some great info over on SI about doing a leak-down test.  I can send you some pics of mine if you like also.  The clutch fly springs will not have any effect on your cvt set-up after initial take-off also.  They play no role in the "shifting" aspect of the cvt.  They just start the shifting process at a set rpm depending upon the stiffness of the springs.  Keep that in mind!

...damn...there's shaka!!!

long time no speak bro!!...

[wordslinger]

..and there he went........

[thebatman]

dam, i done missed shaka.....WHAT UP THO??.. i put the 6.5s back in..if it wasnt for the takeoff, id be good to go(6.5s do make rpms drop sum uphill tho, like to try 6s, kindof dig the 5.7s BUT i have a bit of tug).. i have tried the 1500 contra but she seems to get worse,(seemed to bog/sluggish worse at takeoff) guess i need more umph for it....idk......    now i am only assuming i have a air leak by the residue on the back side of my reed cage.......runs good otherwise, i would think a leak would make it run worse....idk...                                        well sh**, imagine that aye word?!?!?   POOF, maybe he buddys with david copperfield...

[Shaka]

Sorry guys, just been busy!  Back in school now along with everything else!   Have you tried a white Malossi contra?  I think that 1500 may me too stiff to keep your stock engine in the ideal rpm range.  I'm actually running that white spring on mine.  You really do need to make sure you don't have an air leak though.  Like I said the only way to know for sure is by doing a leak-down test!  I test mine every time after pulling apart the motor and you'd be surprised at how often there is a leak!  I would say for certain that $20 tester has saved my engine now a few times!  I'm sure what would cause the residue behind he reeds.  It may be normal.  Take of pic of it if you get a chance, I'm curious!

[thebatman]

hey shaka, i remember a leak down tester here....somewhere!!!..i believe it was yours to be exact..idk where it is tho...   anyway, yeah id like to get a pic/how to on making one if possible..idk if i can, may have to take a trip to harbor frieght.    i will take a pic of my cage today and pray that word will do me the honors of posting for me...(he posted a pic of my scoot, cover. did you check it out?). of course its not as bad as it was when i cleaned it a week or so ago..wanna try my ported oem cage, STILL HADNT TRIED IT OUT..

[wordslinger]

..sure batdude!!

 

..gimme a few minutes...my pic program ain't resampling them smaller....imma reboot...

[thebatman]

thanks word.....

[wordslinger]

..sorry for th' delay..

..hadda go feed th' dog...
