    ive taken the cone out the end, got 3.7g rollers in it as the ones that came with the pipe were way to heavy. i didnt think i needed to upjet? but have no idea whats caused this like 10mph drop in speed :msn1:

    so the rolers were too heavy, did you actually try them? try'd 3 and 3? hows it revving?

    3.7 sounds quite light even for a zx thats light try putting the 4.3s in if you havent.

    my bad minor ill go in to more detail.

    belt isnt that old and is still tight and seems in good condition.

    the 4.3g rollers that came with the pipe were useless and the bike hardly revved. so i bought 3.7g and fitted them earlier. it still struggles a bit on acceleration from 0 mph but wants it gets going the accelerations isnt too bad. it struggles to hit 45 on the clock which is probbaly only about 35 truely. i dont think its revving too highly and doesnt sound like its revving the tits out of it. hope all that helps

    try 3 and 3... note the results and ajust accordingly.. mine literally will ether rev its tits off or just plain die out if the rollers are wrong.. as in 5.5's and it just revs... 6g and it just dies.. 5.85 is the magic weight and i had to experiment.. nobody can tell you the perfect rollers, your engine can tho ;)

    prettry sur u can go 4+2 because the vari will spin unevenly.
    the centralfugal force will be of balance. thats why u have to go.

    1,2,1,2,1,2 so they are evenly spaced and the central force will be even.

    well u shouldnt have it as 4+2. i cant give u any advice on the correct weights or how to solve your problem but i just know u can have 3+3 evenly spaced or 6.

    if you run 4 2 it will give a good referance but kill the variator.. ok for ajustment but order the right weights, always run 6 of the same whenever ossible (ye so set it up an buy the rollers you think will be right)

    all right i see so the variations of rollers shouldnt be used in the long term? its back to 3/3 at the moment which i guess is better than 4/2. ill have to work out the average weight and get some new rollers

    ye ALWAYS use the 3 and 3 or 2 and for for EXPERIMENTATION only or you will just kill the variator. get it right, order some rollers an dont ride it till they come
