    sorry to sound like pipmed aerox in this post

    im extremely sick of my variator fucking up!
    i was riding up my gf's house lastnight when it just decided to stop working i dont know how its happend i think its fucked and cant be arsed with the chew!
    iv had enough and think its time to move to something abit better than stock. iv got alot on my plate at the moment and cant have things breaking on me all the time!

    i will be after a 70cc kit soon so i will need something what will work well with it.

    is there any other decent variators in this price range?

    is there any tools required for this except a variator locking tool?
    i noticed that big spring goes behind the clutch bell doesnt it?
    how will i remove the clutch bell? iv seen tools. in my other post it was stated that i can get one from halfords its called a oil filter removal tool.
    how does this work?
    iv also found this tool: http://scooter-center.com/catalog/produ ... 0_214_2257 would this be a better tool to use?
    how will i keep the spring compressed so it doesnt shoot out?

    like i said i am very sorry about all these questions.
    i just need some help

    thanks matthew :(

    first, title your threads properly.. they will be deleted otherwise
    second, never cheap out on parts. get a polini variator.
    tools are pritty simple.. go to scooter centre, look up your bike, then look at specialist tools and you will find the right locker for the variator and clutch..
    by the time youve done this you might asweell just buy a battery opperated impact wrench from halfords for a score.

    you wont need to mess with the contra spring just yet

    it is defenetly the variator. its played up 4 times before!
    its hard to explain but it doesnt pick up at all. iv been told that its somethign to do with the variator not engaging properly.

    i dont know why it hapens but im going to change the whole unit from stock to an aftermarket one.

    sorry if its not a very good explination.

    the rollers are a month old at the most.
    they still look brand new. no scoaring or flat spots on them.
    i had them out at the weekend.

    how do you mean by wear marks? if its the belt then they do leave marks after a while. im thinking you havent put it back together properly (variator). could be belt slipping etc. or worn drive belt. make sure the nut is done up tightly as well.

    how do i mean?
    i mean actual deep line a finger wide and a 1mm or 2mm deep in the variator and static fan pully. where the sides of the old belt have been rubbing. i think.
    everytime iv took it apart iv always put it together properly.

    iv orderd a new fan pully and a variator this morning.
    on saturday when i get it all together il take some pictures to show you all.
