Variator Weights....???? What - "heavy or light"
Posted: Thu Sep 29, 2016 6:21 am
Can anybody here explain to me the geometry of the Variator Weights... I need to dial in my variator on my VERY high performance PCX... I bolted on everything possible to get all the HP you can get from this little engine... the only thing I do not have is Big Bore Kit... maybe going there next - lol
But, I do not know about what weights to use... what weight "Grams" do.... how to dial in the variator...
I want to understand the geometry of lighter weights to the more heavier weights...
Sure... the weights are like a load apply to the crankshaft of the motorcycle... heavier weights your engine sees more load... and vise-a-versa lighter weights your engine sees less load.... and acceleration (or increase RPM of the rear wheel).... given how fast you can accelerate...
Sure... understand that centrifugal force throws the weight out... which causes the variotor to close which causes the drive belt to ride higher which causes the bike to go faster...
But... what I do not know is what weights do..??? heavier weights do this... and lighter weights do this...???
If your bike does this... your weights are too too heavy...
If your bike does this... your weights are too too light...
If you want this - go lighter weights...
If you want your bike to do this - go little bit heavier weights...
Thanks to all the respond with good technical information...
