70cc polini kit
Standard carb jet 78
Leo Vince zxr exhaust
Polini high speed variator kit
After fitting 70cc kit it is alot more noiser when it's cold almost like crank bearing cracking noise.
Once it's warm it is ok but when u get going there is a metalicy noise from the gearbox/variator area, I have romoved the electric starter gear and disc, there is no diffrence noise is still there. Do the kits run alot noiser ?
Also would anyone recommend a bigger carb or gear up kit?
No they should run completely smooth. Did you change the small end when you did your cylinder, I'd take the variator/stator off make sure you can't see anything obvious. Does it do it when the bike is stationary ? Or only when moving ? If it continues, I would pull the cases apart. I'd check your cylinder as well.
Jonny cheers for some other info, it only does it when driving at higher revs, never replace small end bearing a checked them and they were fine.
What do you mean by pulling case apart?
I have removed the stater ring and kept it out and noise is still there!
The rollers am using are 3 x 6.9 and 3 x 4.0g weights as they worked the best.
How hard is it to replace the crank bearing lr crank, i am mechanically minded being one as a living.
If you're good with a spanner set it's a peace of piss to be honest. You shouldn't run mixed rollers due to it being uneven, Put the 6 on some scales devide the weight by 6 then buy some of those
I suspect that your problem is something to do with the mixed weights in your variator. adding your weights up and dividing them by 6 gives an average of aroung 5.5g. Your'e much better off having 6 x 5.5g weights which will produce an even force on the variator.
It's standard think it's a 12, lighter weights are have tryed 4.3 and 4.5, way to revy and early kickin
put 5g's in and if you think about mixing weight ...do the science bit first there will be more weight on one side causing the crank not to be balanced and your rollers wont all kick in at the same time and may be causing the rattling before you split the cases run it with 5 or 5.5 gs in
The carb is a 17.5mm on the scooter the now, found what the noise was and it was the ht lead was hanging off which was making it noisy pushed it bak on, job done also ordered new roller which are the right size
