Polini Speed Control troubles..

Ffs. :msn1: Fitted the kit today,finally got my cast off (broken foot)..aaanyway. It came with 8.1 rollers and i was running 5.7,so thought fuck that way too heavy so stuck with the 5.7s. Noticed acel was rapid,much more vicious and responce was imroved and it seemed smoother,but it revs MUCH more highly than it did before,and hits 35-40mph in a shot,but thats all i get,the ice used to chuck me to 51-53mph clock speed. Wtf? :wtf:

 

try heavier rollers

i find the polini variator uses slightly heavier rollers than the std variator...

the ramp angles are different!!

 

niceone,think i got some 6.5s laying about,worth a try? Thinking 8.1 would be a tad heavy? :wtf:

 

6.5's should be about right. If not try some 6.1's??

 

Cheers lads. Ride safe. :up:

 

ha maybe I could beat you with out a 70 then

 

Unlikely as yours isnt perfectly setup either way. ANYWAY. Chucked all 6.5s in there today,and i had about 46 on the clocks if i remember and acel was stil the same (GOOOD). I used to get about 50mph on the clocks with my old variator. :msn1: Does the belt need to bed in or what? Just spent out £65 to make my ped better and it isnt. arc: Im not exactly fussed as its onlya few mph,and it gets there quicker than before,but.. :wtf:

 

try mixing them with the 5.7's like minor said , it will give an average roller wheit of 6.1

 

Yeah but if 5.7 revved to high and made me do 30-40,and 6.5s have lowered the revs slightly and given me around 46,then why would 6.1 make it better? Would the 8.1s it came with be way too heavy?

 

they may have been heavy and not been able to build speed up quick enough.

i would try mixing them

 

But like i said bud the 6.5s gave me good acel stil and more topend? Weird as fuck. :msn1:

 

but like i said try the mix.

the 6.5 might have been to heavy to build up top speed quick enough.

worth a try only takes a few mins,

aint getting to fix sat here moaning :bird: imp:

 

Ill give it a go tomorrow then,cheers mate.

 

What the fuck,my belt just snapped. Had to walk it about a mile and a bit home with a broken foot (well had cast off 2days),sore as fuck now. Why would this be? ffs..Side note i had 54 on the clocks on a straight piece of road where i would of only got 50 on standard variator today,reeey Not happy tho..

 

Yeh brand new polini kevlar mate. Fucknos. Was a cunt to fit,bit tight but thought that was the norm..

 

when i first fitted it,there wasnt enough room on the spindle to put the nut back on,if you get me. then i took it off,and noticed at the back a little 'washer' typed thing,near a tiny little belt (oil belt or whatever?),and then with the variao kit i had,there was a black one a little thinner,so i replaced it with the black one and it fitted together fine? thats all i did,had the variator off time and time again,cant think what else it could be..unless its that washer?
