    It's So easy to understand , Steps you show it's easy I wish there was someone who would explain things like that on a 125cc bike

    Add some variator shims and get your belt up higher and watch your takeoff improve like crazy!

    I did a 100cc bbk with 64mm valves
    Performance cdi
    Performance coil
    Performance spark plug
    Bigger jets
    Aftermarket intake
    Exhaust
    Performance cam
    New- not necessary “performance variator
    Heavier rollers
    Not put on yet:
    Kevlar belt
    New clutch
    And i haven’t tried the 150cc carb yet
    Speed increased from 30-43mph
    And 20mph steep hill to. Crusing 30-34
    Still tinkering

    you should have pointed out that the washer you put in is very important as if you fail to install the washer then the nut will keep vibrating off and the entire variator will slide off when you have your girlfriend way out in some secluded area.

    If you leave the kick start lever in place you'll save yourself that much work.

      @@SizzlingSquiggleyeah but what’s the point? On the 50cc gy6 the kickstart assembly sits inside the cover and not the engine wall like the 125cc or 150cc gy6 so when you take the cover off the kickstart assembly comes with it. No need to remove the kickstart.

    With the new belt it started to bog down. I'm guessing it's a higher performance belt like a Gates PowerLink. What weight rollers did you eventually go to?

    • @LabCoatPaul
      @LabCoatPaul  ปีที่แล้ว

      It's possible your new belt is a slightly different length or width than your old belt. If the belt is slightly shorter, or wider, it could ride lower on the pulleys causing you not to get your lowest gear ratio. Try running the engine with the cover off to see if the belt has it's full range of motion up and down the pulleys. You might need to try a different length of belt.
      If the belt length is correct, try swapping out the rollers.
      I ended up with 5 gram rollers. Check out this video: th-cam.com/video/zIBj82RFVpY/w-d-xo.html

    Hi i just changed my belt on my Aprilia scarabeo and it to was making a noise, i figure it was because i did not put the last variator place over the teeth correctly, anyway i have taken it back apart and the new belt has a bit of fray on the edge and the variator is a bit wobbly, so confirmed that i did not put it on the teeth right, i do wear glasses but i think maybe my issue was that when i changed the belt i put that on last. i noticed that in this video you did not take the belt off all the way. would you advise that i put the variator parts on first before the belt ???

    • @LabCoatPaul
      @LabCoatPaul  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It depends on the quality of your scooter. A belt on a Chinese scooter is very close to breaking at 5K miles. A belt on a Honda can go 15K miles.

      If your stock size is 723, a 729 belt will be too short. You may not be able to hit all your gear ratios.

    Can we replace the front variator with the bigger size ? What will ve the results ?

    • @LabCoatPaul
      @LabCoatPaul  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. Aftermarket variators have a bigger gear range, so they can give you better acceleration and a higher top speed. If you're willing to spend about $220, you can get a complete transmission kit. They've already figured out the best variator, rollers, and clutch combination.

      If both your wheels don't turn, you need to find out why. You could have seized wheel bearings from the scooter sitting outside getting rusty, or maybe your brakes are stuck.
