daywot variator problems
Just got my variator and im trying to install it. Seems the stock back plate wont go back on. Not the ramp plate, the one that has the three bolts. I cant ge it to go back over the variator body.
Re: daywot variator problems
dont use the back plate.! it restricts the movement of the ramp plate. leave out and gain 3-5 mph.

Re: daywot variator problems
so no grease and no "back plate, I think the manual calls it a moveable face seal.

Re: daywot variator problems
honda put the grease in there thinking that it would help the rollers. but they made a big mistake.they stopped doing it in the 99-01 motors.putting grease makes the rollers get flat spot quick. that backing plate was so the grease doesn't get all over the trans case and it also restricts the ramp plate from moving out as far.scottorious wrote:so no grease and no "back plate, I think the manual calls it a moveable face seal.
Nothing like getting stroked!

Re: daywot variator problems
wow, thanks guys. I didnt get any install notes or anything and it has the same threaded holes on it so it looked like that back plate went on. I tried everything to get it on there.
Re: daywot variator problems
Replace the stock ramp plate as well. daywot doesn't include one with the variator but there are better options then the stock one.
I'd rather be riding my Aero!

Re: daywot variator problems
Greetings:
Ramp plates with steeper angles give the Moveable face more travel thus better top speed. The variator also "downshifts" faster when you encounter hills, or when you cut, then reapply throttle.
Makes for a more responsive engine and a livlier ride. SEF makes such a plate. My best results with the Keli was using a Malossi plate.
I have an off-brand plate that works about as well.

Re: daywot variator problems
well the problems werent with the actual variator, they were with my understanding of how it was put together. I only said daywot so that people knew which one I was talking about directly. I had no problem with daywot himself. Pretty fast shipping even from Hawaii.
