So I just pulled my CVT apart for the first time to actually inspect it because my scooter is slipping at takeoff (sputter and tries to take off and then eventually goes crazy high revs and starts moving. The rollers look okay, and the belt looks good too. Some of the parts look charred black (such as the starter bendix) and lots of black dust fell out when I pulled the cover off. Also the variator was extremely hot when I pulled it off so it slipped out of my hand when I pulled it off sending roller weights everywhere. And is it safe to use brake cleaner on all these parts to clean them? And why is my variator fan split into two parts?!  |

Looks to me some Variator Plastic Guides are missing should have 3 of them. Alleyoop  |

Brake parts cleaner is O.K. to clean variator. Clutch & clutch shoes may need to be examined for wear. The variator fan in 2 parts sound broke - hard to tell from the photo. Check this link for a full cvt / transmission inspection video - hope it helps. CVT & TRANSMISSION INSPECTION |

Check this link for a full cvt / transmission inspection video - hope it helps. CVT & TRANSMISSION INSPECTIONWell I'll have to pull the clutch off and see what's going on there..my variator fan has always been in two pieces for me, though. I see no broken adhesive, my fan just rests on top of the big metal gear. |

I pulled everything off and cleaned it very well. The clutch was full of belt dust, everything was full of belt dust. After reassembly, my slipping clutch is no longer a problem  |
