I just installed sliders for the first time, I put some 13g ones in and for a couple of days they were running great, I really liked the feel of em. Then today out of nowhere I noticed my bike started bogging on acceleration, and it seems to be running fine once up to speed. I'm thinking a slider might have flipped over, im gona open it up again tmrw to check. My question is how do you keep them from flipping? I like these sliders, but I don't want this to keep happening. Also, is there supposed to be a washer in between the variator plates? Because the only washer I have is behind the clutch nut.I'm hoping I didn't lose a washer when I changed my variator out a month or so ago

Oh yeah, you could trade them (rear clutch) for that variator nut until you can replace it. Search Parts for scooters.com- part number 175-35. Sliders,they do only go in 1 way. ( youtube) The rear clutch takes way less lbs torque. like 20-25. Variator/kinda more!   |

Because I DO have the one that goes behind the nut that holds the variator on. I was just wondering if there's any others ones, if so where do they go? |

Variator ramps are different between manufacturers, is better to buy the whole variator assembly from the same brand, that way you won't have issues like this.

Well my variator and the backplate came together, and sliders are the same brand as the variator, so I don't think it's a problem of mismatched parts. The only thing that isn't dmc brand is the stock drive face, but it seems like most people use that since it's 115mm and matches most performance variators. I opened it up today and one had flipped, so I fixed it and reinstalled it carefully making sure none of em got dislodged when I put it back on. It seems ok for now, hopefully it won't be a recurring problem

Thanks, yeah I need to take a look at my clutch. When I was changing the variator I used an air gun and blew out a ton of belt dust from it, so I expect it may be pretty gunked up. I have like 3500 miles on so it's about time haha

Well, it lasted 1 1/2 days and it freaking flipped again. I'm just gona switch back to damn rollers. It sucks because the sliders performed well until they flip.

Go Wombats! Quite frankley you guyz all ossy on me,but come on.......It's about speed.(In/Out) Help the man. Are ya from phanatron!? Always take apart a new rear clutch and give her some name brand quick lube loving! Cheap greese that comes on it may last a miniute. Don't over due on the 24 lbs torque  and tell this guy to pass!! His thick old glasses HBTBLumbergh |

Well, took a look at everything. It seems like my clutch may be out of balance, it was a bit wobbly when I was lookin at it spin, but its not loose or anything. I have no idea how that happened or what would be the best course of action. Dunno if I'll need a new clutch, or if a good service will do. I just put it some rollers for now so I don't have to worry about em flipping
