Do you know what sort of size rollers I'd need? I see the malossi one comes with 7.2 and a contra spring? I was under the impression I may need 4.5/5.5 or 6g in the standard variators
Save your self a lot of messing around with different rollers ect ect and get a mallosi mutivar It’s set up perfectly for your bike
The variator will come rollered up for a std bike with a std pipe, if you have fitted a sports pipe then lighter rollers will need to be fitted.
I have not had to do this in my experience . I have always used the rollers Inc and never had any problems only gains I’m on my 4th mutivar Which I always fitted After I’d fitted new exhaust pipes
Only time we needed to change them out for lighter rollers is when we changed the 50cc to a 70cc mid race Set up.we only went from The incl 7g to 5.5
Is that including a contra spring and clutch springs? I'm guessing I'd need a uprated belt? As I have a new standard one now
Hopefully getting it motd tomorrow so can take it on a proper run and see what it's currently like haha
you may as well get a new belt while your at it, there cheap the kit comes with a contra spring but no clutch springs you won’t need stiffer clutch springs on a stock engine. When I get a new scooter project the first thing I buy now is a mallossi mutivar They are very good
Well I took it for an mot today and it passed, managed to get some miles on it, sat comfortabley at 45 managed to squeeze 50 out of it, takes a bit of time to get to 25-30 then it goes pretty well, so guessing the rollers do need changing to lighter ones, so tempted to get that malossi variator set up, possible need to fiddle with the carb as if I pinned full throttle for a little while and let off completely then straight back to full throttle it takes a second to do anything, so possibly a bigger jet required, I need to take the plug out and see the colour
It takes second because of too fat needle or too heavy rollers, i would suggest getting a polini hi-speed vario. Its far better quality than the malossi , performance wise too i would say, here is a video example of same piaggio 50cc stock engine with just polini variator,clutch and exhaust all tuned by me.
That pulls really well! I was told about maybe moving the needle by my mate, I take it I need to move it down a notch (more rich)?
Try raising the needle also make sure you got your mixture screw perfect, when you get it perfect then you can really feel how the scooter rips.
I cant know if that is perfect u need to warm up your scooter(operating temp), then play with the mixture screw and you need to listen to your engine while doing it
Some fresh rubber on, Also trimmed the throttle cable so the carb shuts fully, dropped the clip down one on the needle and reset the mixture screw, seems to run a bit better! And the idle is now adjustable lol
