Was on the big road comeing back from a nice curvy road ride , just enjoying the ride today keeping it around 60 kph mostly .....on the big road we have moped /cycle lanes on either sides . I was keeping the GPS app in hand and on the flats I was hitting 70/72 kph sustained . I passed a couple of cars a couple of different times ....they looked at me with that look on their faces . Lol it felt so good lol. 72/4 kph is like 80 kph on the car speedometer so I'm sure they were like looking at their speedos and thinking ..." That's a scooter and its passing me and I'm doing 80 ? " lol . No wind and no clouds ...just warm sunshine and open roads ......yup today was a good day lol.

During all this overheating it is possible the cam chain may have gotten stretched and causing the low speed . Did the overheating at the cvt ever go away ? With new variator, clutch, spring, only thing I could thing would be a bearing that has gone dry . When they do they can cause significant heat and may have been your overheat problem to start with . Check your clutch shaft bearing . The going only 10 mph could be Cdi going out or the cam chain has become stretch because of the overheatings . Let us know .

Not realy , it's fairly strait forward . If he is a mechanic he will know what to do right off the batt. I adjust mine to .004 both intake and exhaust . Others will say .004 and .005 , others say .005 for both , others say differant . I have had no problem with .004 on both .

[replyingto=david3336]david3336[/replyingto]Thank you , that's one thing off my list then . Going to see about a new belt later this week and check the clutch bearing while I'm at it . When I put the new variator on I did spin the clutch to look for play or slack and noise .....it rolled fine and no slack. I grabbed the clutch with both hands and tried to check for any side to side give ...like you do on a car tire to check for bad wheel bearings and ball joints and it felt great ...no give. It sounded like it normally has when I spun it ...usual gear noise from the final drive ...spinning the clutch pulley felt smooth ...ie no ruffness like dry bearings . Is there something else I should be looking for on thie clutch bearing being bad ?

Like has anyone when replacing their rollers on a 50cc noticed if their front plate sits still and flush against the boss befor putting the nut on? I did notice that the face is smooth and the wear goes all the way to the top with out any variation in it .

How can I ride with the cvt cover off ? I tried once to start it with the cover off and the starter bendix gear fell out . Quickly shut it down and inspected it not teeth hurt on the bendix or variator cover plate just scratches on the bendix housing .

Ok , so I was putting in my rollers a few days ago and noticed that the front plate , the one with the teeth for the starter and kick starter use to crank the motor, when I took the nut off and everything and put the plate back on it kinda didn't fit flush with the boss , ie...it could wobble . Of course when I put the nut on it pressed it flush fine . My question it i am still getting a variable vibration from the motor . At differant rpms it will go waa waa waa waa then waaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaa then waaa waaa waa...waa waa waa wa wa wa and be silent till again it starts as the rpms continue to rise until max and jut waa waa waa waa....I have ruled out the tires and adding a gasket to the exhaust helped muffle or silence it but you can still feel it in your feet and on the center stand feel it at the transmission and motor . Variator looked good no dips in the ramps and the surface was smooth all the way to the top. As was the face plate . Any suggestions ? Belt maybe or front plate ? It has done this since befor the mods and although a new variator and rollers but didn't replace the front plate . Thanks
