Those are good Variators I have a 115mm version of it on my Trike and it is great. I can bring it up to speed and backoff and it will hold 50mph at 5100-5200 rpms at 60mph the rpms are 6100-6200 motor just purrs.
TVNACMAN(John) sells them at a very good price.

Alleyoop Same here..I have one on my 2T Jonway Hornet....unlike the stock one when I let off throttle it slowed down. With this performance one it is just as you describe...I get up to 50mph...back off to 1/2 throttle and it holds that speed and does not decelerate like the stock one..woo hoo..  |

Yes you got it Carasdad, I have two marks on the right side from no throttle to full throttle and once I back off it is at half throttle, sweet Georgia Brown as they say. Alleyoop |

WHOA!!!! Incredible price!! You get a performance variator.....different size weights.....performance clutch springs and a shorter performance variator boss to boot! For $23.00??? You can't even get a stock variator alone for that price. Ok now they need to market that kit for the 2T Minarelli engines....hey fair is fair...  and we wanna similar kit.. |

Having all those different weights is Cool. I have 5 gram/stock variator I took off so I used 3 old weights and 3 new weights and i spaced them 5-6-5-6-5-6. I have higher rpms. Not much, just right. The Slider tabs are pressed on tight. Bigger than original. Beefier setup.  |

I ordered that same kit. I went with 6grams as well and it pepped up my take off, maintains inclines better and didnt lower my top speed. I'm happy with it. Good find. |

Is this the one Scrappy sells? I just got one for my 150cc GY6, but I haven't installed it yet. I got ten-gram sliders. I have an 835-20-30 Gates Powerlink. Would 842 be better?
