Belt/Variator ride height?  By  jjt (Read 1,655 times)

yes, that would be the right direction to go.
keep in mind that this will be a "try it and see" type of thing, sort of like finding the right roller/contra spring combo.

also, do not operate your scooter with exposed CVT parts.
doing so is irresponsible and opens you to all manner of lawsuits if someone is injured by your negligence.

drill numerous holes in the case instead.

another idea would be to make the CVT a part of the intake.
this has 2 advantages, it cools the CVT and it warms the incoming air.
the drawback is all of the rubber particles from the belt, how to filter these out.

please, for your safety and that of others, think before you decide to run without a CVT cover.

i can just imagine putting my foot down at the next stop sign, only to have my pant leg sucked into the variator.
you WILL get hurt, so will your passenger if you have one.

What are your thought on Chain Saws, Weed Wackers, RC Planes, Copters, Drones etc? all potentially Deadly and Dangerous times used responsibly there are few to no issues in a lifetime of use.
Yup idiot boy I knew was up in a Loader bucket with Chainsaw overhead and she kicked back and just bumped his neck and he bled out in under ten minutes, his last words were "Oh snit"....
He uses Irresponsibly and he paid the ultimate price.
Career got sidetracked in the early eighties and ended up at large IH and New Holland ag dealership as a Perkins Diesel and IH engine specialist, Got me out of working on most hay and snit spreader equipment, twas amazing the amount of customers that came in with two hooks for hands, no legs etc from conveyer equipment, PTO shafts etc,every work day was filled with pinch points and hurling Flails, uncoverd customers PTO shafts etc six days a week, and it wasn't the equipment that finally bit be it was a Honda Elsinore 50 at lunch time ate the end of my left hand middle index finger, left it munched on the floor unable to be reattached. looks like ill never play piano.
Agin all this dangerous equipment used responsibly as most do have a lifetime of use with no incidents..

I just went out and sat on mine in normal riding position and put my feet down as if at a light, and how the heck long are your legs and hows flexible are you that you can get your ankle been around back there and shove the CVT would take quite a effort, I can't do it
An Nope I never have or will have a passenger, my CBR has the passenger pegs removed and the little butt pad relied with a cover making her a single seater.
My paved driveway is over 9 tenths of a mile long, no kids, no pets, I have a couple of country road loops I run an she comes back home, run to Wally world she's parked the out of business Radio Shack and again she goes straight home.
I wear armor when I ride with the addition of a Hanns device neck collar for RR bikes from Leatt.I would hardly condor myself a Irresponsible owner or operator..
