I got my scoot temporarily together , and I took the scoot for a run with 16 gram weights in . my rpms are still too high. Down a slight incline in hit 73 mph at 8200 rpms . I'm starting to think my 2000 main spring may be too tight for the K&S VARIATOR. I ended up getting 100% climb out but I think it is taking the clutch too long to open fully . I'm going to try a stock main spring and give it another shot. On a straight run I was at 63 mph and at 7800 rpms. I'm hoping with a stock main spring the clutch will open a little further at lower rpms . I also may be able to drop the variator weights if this is what's happening. I made a mark with a sharpie and this is may variator . I'm talking 100% climb !  |

Do you have the 842 or 835 belt?

Do you have the 842 or 835 belt? always 842 . I figured it out . well I was right about the 2000 main spring . I switched to a stock main and I dropped down to 15 grams . I topped out on a straight run at 64 mph and at 7200 rpms. This means I have room to drop even more . probably down to 14.5 grams. I should be riht at the 7500 rpm range on a straight run . down inclines I only hi 7500 rpms at 69 mph. This variator is very nice . I may be ably to pick up a couple mph after I get it tuned in perfect. If I can hit 7500 mph on a straight run and top out the variator , I should be between 67-70 mph . that would be nice. When I drop in weight again , the rpms will rise to near 7500 on a straight run . the belt will be around the same height at it was with the heavier weights and at 7200 rpms. With the extra 300 rpms I'll have a faster top end . the belt could possibly be even higher and with 300 more rpms , so I need to test it out . I'll make another sharpie mark this time . |

I took the scoot out Saturday morning around 5:00 am. I duct taped my Samsung mega 2 to over my gauge cluster and brought up my speedo app. My scoot topped out on a straight run at 64mph and 71 down hill. My rpms on the straight run were around 7100-7200 rpms " from what I could see . the phone was sorta in the way . I'm sure I'll hit the 67+ mph range after I drop down to 14.5 grams . I'm waiting for a set of koso 15gram rollers to come in. The last two sets I bought were under 10 bucks with free shipping ! Most want 20+ bucks for a set ! I can't wait to get them in . I'm going to try to find a way to make a video with the speedo app running. Not sure if I can . if not I'll have to get another camera and record a video with the speedo app in view.

Got my 15 gram rollers 2day ! , so on the next dry day I'll be able to see what she does. I'll record a video of a 10-12 mile run just to show the speeds up hills , drown hills , and on flats. I'm hoping Wednesday.
