Polini Speed Control troubles..

Just had a long fiddle. Firstly,im a twat,the belt hadnt snapped. The vario nut had come lose. arc: So i put 8.1 rollers in,checked it all out,wacked it back together and tightened nut up. Littlebit up the road same thing happend. Come back,nut came lose again. I forget to mention,when i fitted the kit,i removed the plastic white 'fan',and my old man said this might be why. So i put that back on,started it back up and it was making some weird sound,like the belt was rubbing etc..and it didnt have MUCH pull but it moved. Fuck knows boys..havent done anything out of the ordinary that i know of. :wtf:

 

Sorry for going a bit off topic, but is it normal for the variator nuts to come lose like that after you have had the variator off? seen it mentioned a few times. Ive had mine of yesturday and put it all back together today. I didnt use and loctite or that tape, just put it on the way it came off. Havnt riden it yet but should i do something to it before i do?
Sorry again
Thanks

 

Cheers for all the fuckin help boys. Apriciate it bigtime. Not brown nosin am i? :msn1: In a mack as fuck mood atm,so ill set to it tomorrow,got all day free. Thanks again lads. Minor if your ever up my way i owe you a drink. :beer: :up: Ride safe boys.

 

sorry but i love this post.

the belt snpped but any way i had 54 on the clocks :rofl:

good luck with the bike

 

Sorted boys. Had 53 again,so must of done something right. Gave it a good run. Think the 8.1s are a tad heavy but not too bad. Cheers lads. Ride safe. :up:

 

hi i have a 54 plate gilera ice and a polini speed control kit.

i have the same problem i got the rollers in there that came with it and there way to heavy. what size are the rollers?

 

19x15.5

 

What setup you got also,might be able to help eachother out. :up:

 

cheers for that rezzin.

i only had the bike for 3 weeks and im just starting to tune the boy up now.

i only found out a few days ago it had a polini speed kit onit and as you said the rollers that come with it are way to heavy!

its got a leo vince TT on at the moment but its quite rusty gunna whip that off and order a laser x probably. need to get it fully de-restricted. garage down the road said £15 not bad. 70s kit will be getting ordered along with a polini 2g clutch on tuesday hows yours?

has your ice gotta foot pegs with it cuz i really want them for mine

 

Edit that to a 70 kit other wise you will get alot of abuse from the other guys....... i thought i would just warn you mate imp:

 

Sorted the rollers out today,8.1s were getting on my tits,wernt that bad but new it was hindering a tiny bit of performance. So wacked 3on3 of 6.5 & 8.1 in and on the usual spot where i would barely get 50 i had 55 on the clocks. Guna leave it at this now,until 5months time when i come to sell it,and get a car and save up for a nice bike. Cheers boys xx
