We don't get CF moto in the uk, as the branding is normally just the importer. But we get the same bike as the charm, just with other branding on it. It's also worth pointing out that they are basically just a Peugeot Tweet, which are always reviewed really well.
Do you guys get Peugeot scooters in the US? Piaggio aside they must be one of the larger european brands.

I'm guessing there's not been much experimentation with performance variators on this site, or my post has been missed.

Anyway, I've gone ahead and ordered a KOSO one from china. It's only a cheap one, but that's the whole idea with my bike. A cheap bit of fun and cheap to tinker with! Will post up my findings including what sort of RPM my engine runs at etc.

Also, in case anyone wants a tachometer that is easy to fit for when doing roller weight changes etc, I can recommend this one. It can be fitted temporarily or in a more permanent way. It's self powered, and there is one single wire that exits from it. All you have to do is wrap that wire a few time round your spark plug cable. Then it has a couple of options on the screen to select how many times the plug fires per revolution, so it should work with two and four stroke single and double cylinder engines. If you guys feel it's worth it, I'll gladly make a second post with a short write up on it.

Right, a bit of an update. My heavier rollers (15g) came today so I fitted them. With a little more inspection, I noticed that my current 12g rollers are maxing out on the variator assembly anyway. So I don't really need heavier unless I want to lower my rpms for a given speed. I've done this in the interest of fuel saving anyway.
It looks like the varistor is touching the drive face so is at it's maximum travel, therefore my belt is never going to climb any higher. So, my next step looks like a performance variator. Tvnacman mentioned that KOSO one and it looks like they're available over here. Does anyone know if they're actually larger than the stock 107mm diameter one I currently have? And are they adapted such that they can actually go closer to the drive face meaning the belt will actually climb higher and use the extra diameter?

Basically I'm currently at the limit of my gearing so it's either this or changing the actual gear ratios.

Not sure if it's different in the states, but over here our turn signals are normally 21W. But wedge bulbs are normally W10W for a 10W for instance, or W21W for 21W.
I must admit, i've never seen a 10W one though.

I find on most forums that you generally get a select few people that are active and post the most. I always try to get involved when I register as I think it's a great way to meet people and hear differing opinions from all over the globe. Perhaps a lot of people often register just to find some information, or get help on a particular problem, then don't bother again.
You get out of it what you put in.

That's rather interesting. May look into that. And I guess, if they've been using them with the short case engines, the belt must be long enough to travel up the extra area?

What setup are you running on your Milano KZ? I know it's a 150, but it looks like it's based on the ZNEN ZN125/ 150 frame so is basically a similar bike to mine. What sort of cruising speed will it happily sit at etc?
