While my cvt was apart I measured the belt travel on the variotor,it rides at its max exactly .25 inch from the top,my gates belt I'm using is 842-20-30, max speed on flat grade is 57@7240 rpm,using 14g rollers,will a larger belt ride higher thus giving me better top end? If so what size,obviously I don't want too much slack.or is the belt size even what is hindering it from full travel,I need to order some parts today and might as well get on other belt if that will help.

So this morning I made it prob 500 feet from my garage and I heard this awfull scrapping noise,I shut it off and pushed it home,I removed the cvt cover and turns out the variator nut came loose and allowed the variator fan to hit the inside of the cvt cover,no fins broke off, but you can see where the made contact,now the only issue I see is I pulled off the fan and the drive boss I believe it's called will not budge so now the ramp is not removable it is being held by the drive boss,all the splines look fine so why can't I remove it? I put it all back together and it runs perfect but what if I ever need to replace the back part of the variator,

How fast will that go? I'm sure everyone asks that

Yeah haha I was putting it off for some reason,it went out of Wack just before I put my performance variator on so now maybe I can see if that makes A bigger difference,it was nice to have it fire right up and not have to hold the gas!

So my 150cc was a pita to keep running when cold I have to sit on the the garage and feather the throttle for like fifteen minutes to warm it up enough to run on its own,after the adjustment it was like night and day it would sit and idle like a champ,but onother thing changed also,my compression is considerably higher then before,I don't have a gauge but I could push the kick starter by hand.very easily,now it takes a lot more force,what would adjusting the valves have to do with that?

I have that same variator in my 150cc with 14g rollers,when I tested it I could get to 55@7200 or so but the wind was at my back.now on a flat with no wind I can only get the same results as you and I weigh 195,so I was thinking about going to 12g rollers,I will say my take off is much better now but I would rather have better top end due to the roads I travel,if I could get 7300-7500 I think I would be in better shape to hit closer to 60mph,by the way I have that cheap eBay digital tachometer it has a lag when the rpm changes but it is fairly accurate as compared to the one in my car

I bought a free flowing muffler for my 150cc,it did nothing for performance either positive or negative,I bought it soley for looks and the sound,mine is otherwise stock.well maybe a little better throttle response but it could just seem that way due to the louder tone.
