O.K back to that drive face,I think this is my bottleneck now.I have decent take off to just off idle with the 10g's, than seems to drag to 40 then a great hit to pegged, so my thoughts are the ramp angle or more weight dont have anything bigger than 10g at the moment,does look like belt is still slipping a bit by all the dust i'm accumulating between short test runs and cleaning it out after each time i open it,so  whats out there and a pic of your ncy would be nice if that camara is working.catch ya later got to find some bigger weights.

... O.K back to that drive face ...

..yup...that's th' oem...

..now imagine that tapered all the way nearly to the teeth..

..imma drop by wally world tomorrow and get me another camera...

[wordslinger]

..i'm getting dust too..

..i'm really thinking that the optimum belt size is between the two we have...

[wordslinger]

..my scoot won't run the 23100, whatever that qualifies as  (748-18-28) specs.....

..i've snapped 3 teeth off one, and pretty much melted two more...

..i'll post pics when i get my camera tomorrow...

..a 95mm variator would require removing some of the aluminum casing above the starter bendix...

..like with a dremel...

[wordslinger]

..hmmm...

I have the polini in my other build liked it to 50 then kinda dropped off.Did you try the stock face,I was getting the 23100 to pegged pretty quick.Just like the idia of the longer belt Its a whole new gear range just cant quite capitalize on it yet.All the thing I'm reading are saying with the race clutch if it's slipping go to bigger weights and or Spring.I'm going to see how mutch more weight i can possibly run,than back to the contra and flies,but think ultimatly right now my drive face is an issue,sliding right past the usfull part of the face than have to play catchup till 40+ then its a dream.I'll try the weights first.

Have you snapped a gates belt yet.malossi does have one that is a little shorter but a 19 dagree pitch i think.

[wordslinger]

...i pretty much melted a gates "powerlink"...

[art]

There's the catch I think it's your drive face and i think my problem's the drive face HA!What else is out there!I'm not up on this part at all.The melt should be from heat (slipping),you need more weight!

[wordslinger]

..i swapped back to my oem drive face, with the ncy variator, oem 8.5 rollers, NCY clutch with a 1000 contra and the oem torque driver...

..take-off really picked up..

..so did the lag in mid-range speed...

..again, i'm not pushing it to run hard, but top speed stayed the same..

..i will inspect the belt later, to see if it's rubbing...

[art]

That is what i'm thinking the angle of the stock face is'nt working well with the long belt,Will try some bigger weights today.I was thinking on yours with the ncy to remove the electric starter gear,thought the top of your belt was hitting it or more weight for you too or heavyer spring.The 8.5 for me was too light maxed power at 55 mph  and no gas mileage,part of this is the larger tire size for me.

[wordslinger]

..your bigger rear tire and my split reed...

..i can't really get any positive results until i get my new reeds...

..i'm only riding when i must...

[wordslinger]

...but i must run the longer belt...i'm snapping 23100s like they're rubber bands...
