Different Size Variator

[thebatman]

got a ? about those roller tunning kits...... i looked at several diff ones but they ALL look like they are for thhe 3 roller setups....saw like a 3-9g 18pk...thats only 3 a set...same wit 9-14g...even saw a dr pulley roller kit but looks like a 3 deal...       am i missing something..(like those prices vs. the $17 a pop..lmao)

[wordslinger]

..i have two sets..each are 6 roller setups...

..they're around 30 bucks a piece...

..between the two, they range from 4-9 grams...

..don't recall what brand, but when I get home i'll check that out and let you know...

..these are what i have....the set on top and the one to the lower right..

I wouldnt use the 3 roller ones because the collective weight is less than with 6. I used cheap ones from scooter assassins to work out what weight I wanted. But then I changed the torque spring, now I need heavier sliders.

sweet, cool beans thanks dudes...i did look at provo and those looked like the 3rollers...maybe im just blind, cant see sh** wit this phone......             ok this var is starting to get on my nerves....im thinking this extra weight is throwing me off....rode wit the 8.5/1500s today....takes a long time to get in the power band,(if in it, runs great), from take off..up to 30 is SLOW(bit humid here today)..maybe i will HAVE to go light as hell to compensate for the extra weight???    any ideas now?....lmao

once again did you try 3 7g and 3 7.5g I think that was going to be your spot???

[sidthesloth]

Dont use different weights, the 3 7.5s will work the variator and the other 3 will just rattle around. 8.5 is too heavy, try somewherde around 5 or 6, especially if you are on the stock torque spring. If the variator is too heavy you will need less weight somewhere. Remember, heavy weights close the variator quicker.

Hey sid it will work fine for tuneing not suggested for a daily rider,worked great for my tune process till i outgrew my test kit    It let me know what wieght to perchase or in our cases modify to.No ill affects will flatten them rollers quik if run to long.

[wordslinger]

...yup, that's the point of the different weights of the variator tuning kits..

..so you can really dial it in.....

[sidthesloth]

Nope, I still don't get it, if you try 3x7s and 3x7.5s, which ones do you use if that configuration works?
I have yet to see rollers in the 0.25 gram range and if they were out there, how accurate would they be?

[wordslinger]

..yea, but i run 4.7 grams in my a50...with the stock drive face, ncy variator (malossi was better)

..it llloves them......

you can mod the weights if it comes down to it,you will need scales and a dremmel for light changes or if your lucky the right drill bit can shave the perfect amount off,my bro in laws people after some mods we did ran best with a 7.30g set .He just happened to have a bit that allowed us to drill the centers out a little bit and wieghed each one and were with in .001 of each other not bad in the back yard with a hand drill acouple of beers and what the hell attitude the 7.5 wer'nt working any way.Try it ya'll like it Ha!

[wordslinger]

..i quarter gram does make a difference....

...just as a mm difference in the drive face or variator, or a cpl in the belt....

..damn...

..tuning...

..it'll never end!!!....

well i tried 6.5 w/stock spring, 1500 flys....ehhhh....today i have the 8.5 w/1500s.........i dont have any 6s or 9s...i had thought of a 7.25 before actually....lmao..(with oem var).. guess i need to try and get me one of those roller kits.                                     do like that my belt goes tp the very edge of the var now unlike the oem which lacked about 2-3mm to reach edge...
