CONTRA SPRING and CLUTCH PAD SPRINGS.
Stronger Contra Springs effects the RPMS required to OPEN THE CLUTCH PULLEY. The Stronger the Contra Spring the HIGHER RPMS is required to open the Clutch Pulley so the Belt gets pulled down by the Variator as it climbs up Variator. So if you want your scoot to stay in the lower part of the Variator longer you put in a Stronger Contra Spring. Now the side effect of stronger Contra Springs is that due to the extra pressure on the side of the belt the belt wears faster. In addition when you ease off the throttle it will start breaking you motor down quicker due to the lower rpms and the stronger contra spring pushing the belt up the pulley quicker.
Stronger Clutch Springs Require Higher Rpms to get the Pads to come out and grab the Bell to Turn Your wheel.
Stronger Clutch Springs Also means that you have to keep the RPMS up to keep the Clutch from Disengaging. Cruising around town at 25-30 your rpms will be high at those speeds you always have to keep on the throttle otherwise the Pads will disengage from the bell.
If your scoot CURRENTLY STARTS TO MOVE at 2500 rpms
1000 rated springs = Scoot will start to move around 3500 rpms.
1500 rated springs = Scoot will start to move around 4000 rpms.
2000 rated springs = Scoot will start to move around 4500 rpms.
Just add the spring ratings to your current RPMS that the scoot starts to move.
Now also remember the Clutch pads will Disengage at a much higher rpm as well.
Say you have the 2000 rated springs which require your rpms to be around 4500 for the Clutch pads to engage the bell. So you’re making a turn and you slow down and your rpms drop down say 3500 making the turn. Because the pads disengaged making the turn due to the lower rpms you will have a lag when you hit the throttle to come out of the turn until your rpms again get up to around 4500.
Just so you know what you will experience with the springs.
I personally would rather have Clutch Springs that get thrown out sooner so that the Pads are grabbing the bell say around 2500-3000 rpms. And control the RPMS with just the Contra Spring and Weights.
The way a CVT should be setup is when climbing a hill say at 6000 rpms, THE RPMS should STAY at 6000 going up the hill ONLY your speed goes down. Once you get it to that point you cannot get it any better, unless of course you add more Ponies to the motor.
