How does the decompression feature work?

Re: Variators for increased speed,

I noticed the vibration...
Is it caused by the engine or wheel unbalance?

Re: Dunlop Scootsmart vs Michelin City Grips

Makes no sense to use anything else. What is the point of scrapping panels? Surely it is better to be able to rel...

Re: Variators for increased speed,

How about adding "yuminashi variator with 12g sliders" to the list, if you have the time? :D

Can one get a reasonable comparison by doing a WOT test on the centre stand?

hahahaha. :oops:
I still think they look nice.

(I found them when I was looking for larger tyres. 120/80-14 should fit the front and 140/70-14 should fit the rear.)

Re: Gears for higher top speed

Very good. I suppose I could simply go with the 14° outer pulley and keep the stock variator. As Pcxdemon said, that combo should push the belt more towards the max diameter too.

Re: Gears for higher top speed

Hi PCXDemon. Thanks for joining the discussion. I have a few questions for you. Sorry... looks like an interrogation but I'm trying to get a clear understanding of the whole picture. 1. Regarding the Yuminashi gear set... You don't actually need to replace the speed sensor, just modify it. Pcxdemon ...
