Sweet build. I'm surprised you're not getting more speed out of it though. I had a '96 jog that I put a pipe and variator on. After rejetting it, I got a GPS verified 53 mph. I bet you're probably getting more than 60 out of it.

Im still tuning, but recently hit 63mph @ 13,800rpms.

Hey Brian,
Thats with the stock gears off the 04'. Got that mph number from the RPM Speed Calculator over on zumaforums.
I havent bought any upgraded gears yet, just trying to get the trans and carb dialed in correctly before buying more engine stuff.

Double check to see if your getting full belt ride height on the variator by marking it with a sharpie.if your running a athena variator,those don't get full belt ride height. How is it doing heat wise?

Thanks for the tip Brian. Ill try it out this weekend and see how high its riding. Im running a Malossi variator. Say for instance it isnt riding all the way up, do I need to get some of those S6 washer shims? Im curious if the belt is aligned with the variator and clutch pulley, as Ive heard that the OEM setup has washers. I dont have them. How can I check if its aligned?

Thanks Mike!
Installed my new fender this weekend. Also drilled a few holes in the belt cover. On to the pics...
Didnt get to test the belt and the Variator yet Bakaracer. When taking off the Variator, found that a couple of parts needed replacing and I was missing a few washers according to the parts fiche. Ordered what I needed so going to get things going real soon!
