Description
The fixed half of the Vario is located at the end of the crank near the kickstart mechanism. Its larger fins will cool the transmission more efficiently. The angle of the disc is designed for the MALOSSI variator, but it may also be used as a spare part for the original variator. Very robust construction. Package includes a locking washer.
Check whether the distance between kickstart castle washer and kickstart pinion in the transmission cover is right; if necessary, remove the washer between variator bush and fan pulley
CVT Pulleys
Pulleys are an integral part of the CVT system on scooters and mopeds with automatic CVT transmission.
The continuously variable transmission consists of fixed and moving pulleys, the V-belt rises and falls between them depending on the engine speed, changing the speed of the vehicle.
When should you change a pulley?
There are two reasons for replacing pulleys:
- Wear and tear. Although pulleys are relatively durable, the constant sliding of the V-belt can deform the surface.
- Tuning. Different pulley angles and diameters can improve the handling of scooters or mopeds.
Note: A CVT variator can only do a good job when CVT pulleys as well as torque drive pulleys are compatible with each other. Pitches and diameters of the individual elements must be matched so that the V-belt can glide evenly.
