It'll go out any day now. Surprised you got 500km out of it, but in my experiences the rod bearings went quicker than the side bearings once symptoms started.

Are you certain the variator side crank bearing is going out? You're looking for up/down/left/right play, don't worry so much about in/out play. Your scoot's engine will sound like a diesel, too.

Hit a pothole last night and my main stand spring went flying. Luckily I had a plastic grocery bag and tied the stand to the foot peg to keep it from dragging. I didn't know what happened at first. The potholes around here are horrible!
I needed a new spring anyway, it was wore out.

and i thought my massacred variator was bad, wow. i think i figured out why mine was destroyed. my crank has some play on the variator side. i think the added heat from a bad bearing caused mine to disintegrate. i doubt that was your problem since it happened so fast but you might want to check that bearing anyway. Yeah I checked both the crank and clutch shafts since I had them off. It seemed fine and the engine is really quiet, too, so that's comforting. I've always noticed inward/outward play in the cranks, or push/pull in the direction the shaft is. There was no up, down, left, or right play, and thats a good thing. |

I got an idea for a little game. I'll post three lines to a song " they must be consecutive" and whoever knows the next line will post it and the name of the song. Then they will post three lines of whatever song they chose . I think it could be a decent game. I'll start it off . Frightened of this think that I've become Its gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do ? I bless the rains down in Africa Band: Toto Song: Africa EDIT: messed up lyrics, lol |

I'll have brand new variator, rollers, and an extra set of "v" guides later next week. I say rollers because mostly everywhere, when ordering a complete variator, it comes with a set of about 8.5g., which is way too heavy. Most people don't run that heavy even with a bbk, lol.

I have seen it. I ordered a variator set and when it didn't work out, I tried to put the variator on another boss, and it wouldn't even fit. Different manufacturers sometimes use different sizes for the boss diameter and boss length. If the drive face was not square to the bushing ID, it would have worn out the bushing regardless. I agree. The "massacred variator" boss was a tighter fit in the replacement variator-- it felt too tight so I didn't use it. I tried both bosses just to see beforehand. |

It reminded me of rcq's thread at first. itistheride.boards.net/thread/7209/alley-right-dr-pulley-variatorsI honestly don't know if I'm at fault here--- I mean obviously the damage could've been minimized by me, but this isn't something that I see in these forums, ever. Specifically the play between the boss and the variator. Not exactly ready to blame the variator either. |

Yes, geh3333 is right. If I flipped roller #1 and #5 upside down they would look the same.
Same with #2 in the bottom set.

Not really sure. I suspect whatever happened started before I changed the rollers out (about 45 days ago I checked), just not sure when or why. I thought it was a bit odd how they wore so flat on one side, when I changed them out. Both sets have the same wear. I changed out the 3 "v" guides with the rollers, and the old "v" guides weren't broken either (preventive measure).
I didn't notice any unusual wear on the 3 posts that the "v" guides ride on either.
Here's the deal though. I knew something was up because I heard a metallic sound after changing the rollers 45 days ago. I thought I was hearing stuff-- I didn't see anything unusual so I continued to ride it. OBVIOUSLY I should have looked sooner. It HAD to be the variator anyway. Yeah that sound never went away. From now on I will be checking for play between the boss and the variator! Not sure if that's where the problem originated or not.
Luckily I had an old complete variator with used weights and some "v" guides.
A bit worried about the crank. The scoot runs GREAT now, so hopefully that lasts. First time anything like that has happened with the variator.
