I marked the CVT face with ink to check the rise of the belt and it was a 1/4 below. I just put on a new 1.) variator (115mm Motorio) 2.) stock clutch and ran the ink test --- failed. 3.) final gear gear change 15/36. 4.) 842 gates bando belt HOWEVER - The MAIN question is : How do I determine / measure how *** " LOW " ***the belt goes down the face of the CLUTCH  ?? |

Same method but a little more tough since you have to open the clutch pulley and mark it at the bottom.

like a glove. since their is no adjustment on these thigns. the belts just hav to be made good. you need a good brand. anything chinese, usually has slack. theres 3 measuremnets on them. length, width and degree of v belt angle. usually a chinese belt will be sloppyin length and worn out in width. an old belt, will get slack in it, in length, around the belt. and the width from it wearing in between the pulleys will grind down and shrink the width. like 669-18-30. 669 is the inside actual length measurement. width is 18mm and 30degrees of angle is the v-belt, angle. degree. oem specs usualy say when an 18mm wide belt is down to 17mm wide, its out of spec. which means it probably wont hit hte driven pulley and the front drive puley right. they call it a pulley cause its just like a pulley. you take yoru variator face, and yoru kicker ramp face, and their, a pulley. they move back and forth so its a variable. continously variable transmission.
make your belt fit like a glove when you install it. it shouldnt need shoved down in the back. i find that breaks stuff. it should fit over, like a glove. thats the right amount of belt tightness. a pair of gloves.

have you ever put on gloves before. if they don't fit you then they slop off, you try to get a cigarette from your pocket and you end up not being able to stick your fingers in your pocket to grab, the pack. you burn a finger off trying to light it. if its too tight, you lose a finger because of no blood flow.
sort of the same way with a scooter. youll loose something if it dont fit. like a glove.

Did you read what he was asking about which how to determine how far the belt is dropping in the Clutch pulley? Apparently not he wants to know how to TELL HOW LOW the belt will travel down the CLUTCH PULLEY at Wide Open Throttle, has nothing to do with belt fitting like a glove or whatever you are talking about.

I think he means if the glove is made in china it will work just as good as a belt , as long as it's snug . Lol
