a lot of folks don't run a CVT gasket at all. I have opened my CVT case up so it is really rather un-needed. I do however run a bead of gasket sealer just to cushion the parts.

Thanks Jake I ordered it already

I agree with Jake - no gasket needed. Don't forget to clean the little filter screen thingy so the CVT gets plenty of cool air..

Oot, we're not all dealers so quit the technical jargon and put it in terms we can understand! Rich

gee what jargon

[ootscoot]

sorry about that - I meant that CVT air intake filter screen thingy...

Anyone know where to get a new little CVT air filter screen thingy?? Mine seems to have disappeared. It may be possible it fell out while riding.

I don't use a CVT gasket either since it fell apart the first time I opened up the case. No real need for an air tight seal because air is flowing thru all the time.

Seriously though does anyone know where to get a new CVT filter?? mine did fall out while riding.

I have always wondered why some scoots have a filter thingy on the air intake for the CVT. The inside of a CVT has so much junk flying around from belt wear and clutch wear that a little dust from the outside shouldn't make much difference. I would replace the thingy with a piece of window screen and clamp it on with a zip tie. This would keep larger thingys from getting sucked into the air thingy. Here's what my looks like (the black tube above the center stand). I would guess your's used to be similar. Merry Christmas!

I cut mine down and took out the inards. put some window screen just to keep out big stuff.

Mine was a little plug that fit inside the intake hole. (Thus Falling out) I would love to have a longer rubber hose with a clamp that fit around the CVT like Cruisers.

Ok, Wait, Why does this sound so dirty?

Anyway, where can I get a CVT thingy like the one pictured? I don't wanna have to much junk flying around. ;D

I know A zip tie and screen will work but, it looks like, Well, A zip tie and screen. Where can someone get a replacement CVT screen thingy?

The CVT gasket itself does nothing except reduce vibration noise IMHO A bead of high heat silicone or gasket sealer works better.
