If you need more launch use the stiffer springs (30%) They hold the clutch back till the pipe/powerband gets closer. You could try lighter rollers too but you MIGHT drop in top end. Tyr 5.5 or 6gr

I'm thinking of getting 6's and running three of those with three of the ones that came with the variator.

[zombie]

That' only good for testing. 3 will wear faster causing a cascade of wear.

....yeah, dont do that....i tried that back in th day...

...it IS OK for dialing in, but DON'T RUN like that onna daily basis...

...i really hurt a brand new multivar by doing that once...

[ill_eagle94]

That's true, it's cheaper to just buy separate weights i suppose!

The DR Pulley wedged weights... a gimmick or no? I'm considering trying them but round just makes more sense to me!

[wordslinger]

...sliders...dr pulley...ninja...yeah, they do perform better overall...


..sometimes...not every scoot reacts th' same...sssso......

And dial your weight in with rollers (cheaper) If you go to sliders get 1gr heavier as they "act" lighter

[wordslinger]

...there issa difference...they are less restrictive, ...


..remember when we usta say, "tune with rollers, then get sliders in that weight"?

Sounds good, I'm gonna order up some 6g weights and toss them in. I did manage 37 indicated today into the wind on a flat. I was actually keeping up with the traffic, which is nice for a change. I also hit my highest peak downhill of 47ish (indicated) and it felt good, as this isn't the steepest downhill I've hit. This new variator is breaking in fast. I was worried at first because it almost felt like a step backwards at first. 20 or so miles later, it starting to really improve!

[wordslinger]

..glad to hear of your success!!!

                   

...theres always a breakin...belts and clutches take even longer...

Hey Guys, "Big Red" is still running like a champ since I did all the upgrades last week and I am truly loving it!  I swear, its almost like it has a turbo on it because once I hit about 15 miles an hour, it acts like it has 3 times amount of power that it did in getting up to that 15mph.  Whatever the cause, I love it!  Oh, and I saw about 55 on a slightly declining long road this past weekend...that was exciting.   

So, would I generate additional benefits at all from putting on an upgraded clutch and clutch bell?  If so, what would be my benefits?  And finally, which would you guys recommend?  Thanks!!!

A good clutch will give better take of grip. You can tune any clutch to higher rpm's but better Pads make all the difference. Malossi delta is what I get. I've had one for 4 years, and it's still fine.

[ill_eagle94]

Ordered some 6g MRP Ninja slider weights. I'll install those and the Malossi white torque spring at the same time.
