Look to the left of the black mark on both pics , the top one looks like there is less room . the flash from the camera really hides the belt mark to the left on the top pick . Can you mark them, do a run, then measure where the marking remains? ps: I encourage NOT doing a run while on drugs. I'll do that , but its like 12:00 so I'll do it 2mro. I probably went all out for about 1/3 of a mile , but yep I'll mark the variator first. |

Don't worry I only do drugs without high fructose corn syrup , so I think I'm good . |

So you didn't answer - was I at all on the right track about how the rear pulley assembly works? Trying to understand ... |

The inner pulley " closest to the rear tire " has a shaft inwhich the bearings are pressed into. The outer pulley "the one in my pick " slides down over the shaft so the pulleys meat. The shaft has three holes , one for each pin . as the outer pulley is forced out it , the pins stay in place and the spring compresses. The pulley only opens as far as the slots will let them. Now how does the spring compress ? I believe its a combination of the variator pulling the belt up and the centrifugal force of the pulley spinning . if u notice the angle of the slots. As the pulley spins the outer pulley is forced out with the angle of the slots opening the pulley.

So the slots act in a way similar to the ramps in the variator, and the main spring in a way similar to the sliders or rollers. Heavier sliders/rollers force the variator closed ==> belt higher in the pulley ==> higher gear. Stiffer main spring forces the rear pulley closed ==> belt higher in pulley ==> lower gear. Correct? |

Yes , the main spring slows the opening of the pulley , and closes it faster when slowing down " last going uphill " forcing the scoot into a lower gear , so up hiil we have more power and on takeoff we stay in a lower gear longer. The ncy has another set of slots , at the the top the slow sort of levels off , so it holds the clutch in the higher gear with less easier .not quite as much pressure from the spring . yes the spring is still compressed as much but the slot is taking more of the pressure from the spring. Well sort of , i guess it just takes a little longer before the clutch begins to close.

Check out the slots in the ncy , look how close to the seals they are .  They are just about cut into the seals on the stock setting. |
