Not a lot of work got done over Christmas, just too darn cold in the garage. Anyways, today I installed the new variator, drive belt and chain. Those little snap rings deep in the variator are fun but I got them in there. I used the cable adjuster that came with the rear brake cable and installed it in the brake backing plate cable retainer, that way I will not have to turn out the handlebar adjuster as the cable and shoes wear.
There is about a 5/16" gap between the tensioner springs and the spring stop after I installed the belt. I believe that should be correct to allow for forward movement of the engine as the belt wears.
Question: the drive pulley and the variator seem to be in good alignment but how do you adjust alignment if they were off, what is the procedure?
