well i guess recommending this in the alfa stage of its trial is pompous. because I dont actually know what is happening in the variator. But I can Attest and say its performance is much greater than stock. but with any upgrade can create extensive wear where there was none. Or catastrophic damage. My scooter was very cheap to obtain so im just experimenting. my 320# brother rides it and hes says " damn that lil thing can move" lol I believe I hit about 50++ mph down hill.

No. There is six single slots for the rollers. So each roller has its own bay/cavity to slide in.

Yea I ride about half throttle untill it shifts. then I go full. Its much funner and much quicker all around. Im actually impressed by this 50cc...I would recommend to anyone with a good running but slugish bike. Ill post the longevity or wear when I encounter it if I do....Thanks for the input.

So they are 9g weights. So 27g. And I have inspected the vairiator and transmission area all looks good. But is still ringing/vibrating only on acceleration for just on second. sounded a little worse when i let my big friend ride it. but the same with me. And was defiantly not making the sound before I removed the other weights.

Ok....well It worked!!! quite well also im going to say twice if not more power. Not reving to high either. But a sound coming from cvt area sound like metal squeaking or the belt squeaking and accompanied by a ringing rattle like a bell. Only at very low rpm but not at idle only during acceleration for like 1 second. then as i accelerate its smooth threw the whole bottom and top end. 43 mph max today.... using only three rollers.....  |

So I have a craig list scooter I got for 150$. And the tail light is on all the time? Even with the kill switch in the off position. There is no key. and the wires(red n black) that were to the key lock/mehcanisum are striped and connected together. Only way to turn off the light is to disconnect the battery. Should i put a switch on the key wires?

I have a 50cc qmb motor. With standard variator and rollers. It is sluggish or slow not reving very high before the CVT starts to shift. I was wondering can I just run with three rollers in my variator to let it rev a bit higher before the shift? Or do I need all six for proper performance? and dose roller color indicate weight? Also when on center stand it will rev very high so I know its capable...
