I have question for riders with more CVT experience.
Is it normal that while coasting at low speed for some distance (downhill, rough road, tight turns, all at the same time) that the motor will spool down and the clutch will disengage so that you are freewheeling without any engine-braking effect?
Just seems peculiar when it happens. Then when you roll on the throttle it does a weird little speed up/slow down thing when the clutch re-engages.

Yes, its normal. It does it more with a higher rpm clutch too. It is a BAD idea to re-engage the clutch when this happens while you are coasting downhill at 40mph... best to wait until you slow down.

To be clear....do the rollers/sliders retract while coasting with no throttle?

Yes, as soon as your rpms start to drop so do the weights and the variator starts to retract dropping the belt down in the variator and up on your clutch pulley. Alleyoop
