Scooter was shuddering really bad as warranty was about to run out!!! Dealer replaced 918-22.5-30 belt with 906-22.5-30 belt when I wanted a kevlar belt and he said redstreak was having problems with original belt!!! I wanted to try Dr.pulley sliders, so he installed some 21gr. sliders!!! Scooter is running but loud racket from variator!!! What's causing this racket,has a dr. pulley in wrong or jumped out of place or am I imagining things!!! I thought the motor was rattling but it's the variator!!! He also let my scooter set out in the sun and melt my speedometer and tachometer to the point they don't work,also lock on gas filler cap broke!!! I have 4000 miles on it and have paid for all work done on it except last exhaust issue when I cussed him out!!! I would like scooter if I could find somebody to tell me something!!! I have tried to get a repair manual which isn't made. Redstreak won't talk to me and dealer won't talk to me!!! So welcome to the forum!!! lol!!!

Welcome to the forum. The 244cc is loaded with grease in the variator with the OEM roller weights. Most people scoop out the extra grease in order to keep it from messing up the CVT belt. A small amount of grease on each roller is OK in order to facilitate reassembly so that the rollers will stay in place until everything is buttoned up. No grease is necessary if you have Dr Pulley sliders.
The OEM belt on my 244cc engine is a Gates Powerlink 918x22.5x30. The OEM weights are 23 x 18 at 24 grams. There should be no reason why Redstreak would have a problem with these belts unless they used a generic of lessor quality.

Scooter was shuttering is why they went to 906 belt and the 21g sliders are making a racket ,I took it apart again and sliders were in correctly but I left grease cover off, but it still makes a racket!!!

Since dealer changed my stock weights with 21g sliders it's been noisey !!! I think I'll try 19g sliders but I don't know where to buy parts since dealer won't talk to me,since I cussed him out!!! lol!!!
