MOPED ARMY

hmm ok interesting. that sounds good... i think i'm going to try all mids next and see if that will push me up higher. i feel like im kind of on the verge here anyways, since i was rocked into my highest gear a handful of times seemingly by chance. if the mids work (i hope, so i wont have to go heavier), i can start tuning the in between phases... that table in the wiki is very handy.

oooh i read 14.3 mm but i guess i just read that and blindly accepted it. i mean they feel pretty good but i certainly wouldnt mind taking a little more meat off of them.

admittedly im not running the plastic guide spacers. its a new variator and the spacing was a little tight, so the varplus scraped the nylon spacers on its way open. too much to sand down, so i put it on without. im sure its not awesome to not have them in, but the holes are pretty close in size to the pegs so there isnt very much movent. i noticed that standard sized bic pens have the same OD as the variator holes, and fit right over the pegs. gonna use those as a substitute. but that definitely could be an issue.

another thought i had was, the bike never siezed on me, it just got shittier and shittier to ride for a while till i pulled over and it just wouldnt start back up. that means it happened gradually and i was riding for a while with a busted ass painful death crank... probably hindering my rpm spinnin capabilities.

Yeah heavier weights for sure dude. When i ran a stock unported cylinder and stock pipe with a 15 SHA, i could barely close the variator up all the way with the heaviest weights. Once i ported it i was running four heavies and two mediums.

ive never been able to align mine 100% because my carb idle screw will actually drag on the driven pulley if i get the engine that far out. i wish, though, that i had properly lubed the whole varplus from the get go, because i think its worn into a bit of a warp. still, since i started running all lights and lubing the weights and the part the the sliding cheek rides across, ive had zero problems with my varplus, save for a little rattling.

well, the thing is, if theres too much play around those spacers, i believe that the sliding cheek can get cocked off center.

well i have no problems cracking it all the way... i had them installed but they were too fat and the varplus holes rubbed up against them, obviously not helping anything. im either going to have to make new ones or modify the old ones..
