Different Size Variator

[sidthesloth]

Cheers zombie, I will do that with a list of what we did and what happened. With my overheating and seizing the engine I am of the opinion that the exhaust was the main culprit after having added the extra oil, do you think I am right on this?
Stock I was getting 116 kms per tank with a best of 127 (I thought I was walking home that day). On Saturday I filled up at only 58kms but that was not quite empty, yesterday was 110 so it is not as bad as it could be. Yeah I look forward to the roller tuning, I don't know about the clutch torque spring as that will affect the rollers. Time to learn more. Tomorrow, I will get those plugs I was supposed to get last week and do some chops.

I agree it was mostly the exhaust w/out the correct jet. An expansion chamber will pull the mix right out of the jug. That is the nature of that beast. You Da man Sid!

I will get to work this afternoon and write up an overview of what we have done, which section would be best to post in?

[zombie]

ZX/50 sounds good to me! Thats actually a fairly new section thanks to yajblackburn. Haven't heard from him lately. He helped me alot in the begining...

[sidthesloth]

Cheers mate, I will start on it now, should have it posted soon. Just have to remember the sequence.

Asked scooter assassins if they had sliders for the variator I bought from them and they said the ones they tested wore out the plastic and broke in about a month. At least they test them before they try to sell them.

Stick with the Dr. Pulley Sliders!  I've heard bad things about knock-offs!  The Dr. Pulleys will work in any variator just the same.

There is a press release from Dr. Pulley Slaming MRP, and some others for selling Knock Off sliders. There IS a difference.   http://www.rhinoforums.net/general-rhino-discussion/42548-official-announcement-dr-pulley-taiwan.html

Funny, I read that press release right after posting that!

Found it on Invasion.

[Shaka]

Me too!   I did watch one of the videos where they were testing the slider.  Pretty cool!

G'day Shaka, since you are using Dr. Pulley sliders, I was wondering if you would like to take a look at these and see if they are the real deal?

[Shaka]

Looks like the real deal to me!  Looks like a pretty good price as well!  They only have 3, 4, 5, & 6g ones though!.

[sidthesloth]

There was one from taiwan, price was better and they had a larger range. Will try to find a link to it tonight.

Thanks for that Shaka, if it was left to me I would have bought the knock offs and been none the wiser, which is what they want of course. I couldn't find the other ones I was looking at last night but this bloke offered them for $28.00 + $6.00 postage so I accepted that. Hope they turn out to be the correct item. Having used the cheap rollers I think either 6 or 7 grams gave me the best compromise, 5 grams were to light.
