If you have an impact wrench its easy.

You will need to drain the gear oil and have pan ready to collect gear oil.

Take off your kickstart pedal.

Take off the 8mm bolts that hold your CVT cover on.

Jiggle it off taking care of the CVT gasket. ( I took my kickstart completely out including those gears, makes it easier and they don't work anyway. I'll fix when I feel like.

Now you will see your Variator on left and auto Clutch on the right.

On my 150 its a 17mm socket on both.

With impact wrench remove the variator nut. This is a good time to change out your rollers/sliders, check/replace your belt, check/upgrade your variator to a performance one.

Take off the clutch nut and slide off the auto clutch bell. Again this is a good time to have upgrade parts for your auto clutch, if you have a complete auto clutch assembly.

( don't take apart the clutch unless you are wanting to take it apart, you'll need a very large socket anyway and to stand on the auto clutch on one end to compress the spring. )

Now you can remove the 8mm bolts to the gear housing.

Drain the gear oil if you haven't already done so.

Now the gear housing is pretty straight forward loosen and remove the 6 or so bolts holding the gear case on.

With all those off I had to tap the sides of the cover to get to come out.

Carefully use a flathead screwdriver to pry the cover off all around.

if you are lucky and careful enough the gasket will be intact. Mine ripped on me in a spot. I re-used mine and no leaks

Now you can see the gears.

This video goes into more detail of extra stuff you can do. But all need to do is remove the variator and clutch assembly to get to the gear case.

Ok lets put this into perspective, my 150cc stock has 13/40 final gears. And you are going to 14/32! I'm going to 15/37

Rule I've heard is go about 2 teeth up and 2 teeth down when up gearing. Unless you have more cc's to pull the gears without having too sluggish of acceleration.

I don't know about 14/32 that sounds a bit too steep even if you had 150cc's

I hope that works out for ya.

With that kit, selling 10's and 11's its not really a big difference. Maybe with 10's and 13's are heavy. 11's aren't really "heavy"

Comes down to opinion. Its great if you are trying for a 11.5 gram weight or the best of having 10's and 11's.

I've had in lots of roller combos 9's/16/s 10's/12's 13's/16's

In slider combos I have only had 10's/15's. I got the best of both.

With all 10's my rpms were higher just to takeoff but I had the best acceleration.....up to about 45mph or so then it took longer to get to 55-56mph rpms were 7500+ I didn't like those. From 45-55mph I have to be at 6,500-7600rpms I had that sweet spot for the power range but it killed my gas mileage.

Went from 15's with 65mpg and 10's 54mpg. No.

With 10's/15's I got 56mpg but I had the best of both weights I had better acceleration without having to be at too high of rpms and I had better top end acceleration at higher rpms.

For me I like riding 3/4 to full throttle and highest it goes is 6,900-7000rpms and I get the same top end just a little slower and better mileage.

I haven't tried the "high and low" ramp variators. That price is a bit steep for me for a variator . I'm going to put in taller gears 15/37 and see how good or bad the 15 gram sliders do. I'll probably will need to do 10's/15's with higher gears maybe even all 10's.

Mine does at around 3,500. stock clutch and springs

I took my motorcycle license on my 150cc. They tell you they deduct points or fail you if your bike STALLS! Which is funny for a scooter rider to hear!

I just practiced the course after hours at the DMV, nobody there. Watched this utube video and its still the same 4 exercises in a parking lot.



There are 3 others just watch them and practice and its easy.

I went there by myself practicing and taking the "road test" which is just a parking lot.

Virginia get your permit, wait 30 days and practice. Then take the parking lot test. Also be prepared to pay for 8 years of license. I think it was 30 bucks.

You do whatever you want with your scooter.

I was just saying I had curiosity and wanted to know what the top speed my was after changing the oil a couple times.

People say the old tried and true "easy break in"

Hard break-in I've heard racers do before a race with their brand new parts.

What I get out of all of it is vary your rpms and don't cruise at a single speed for break-in.

I'd really like to see a Mythbusters episode on "Easy VS Hard Break-in" they could use two of the same model engine and keep everything identical except for Jamie could be riding "hard break in" and Adam riding "easy break in" .

I'm searching for episodes now that I've thought of this.
