clutch springs and roller weights

[daryl]

Hi guys, got a '98 zuma w/700c kit, 19mm carb, no airbox, kevlar belt, malossi variato. Guy i bought it from did all the mods to it. Runs good, but seems to be sluggish til it gets to about 25mph+. Then it goes about 48-50mph on the top end. I've got the black roller weights in right now and has the white torque spring. the guy i bought it from was abiout 230lbs and i'm only 155, so was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on what size weights i should be running in the variator. Also, what about clutch springs? (not torque springs, but the little ones that go on the clutch shoes) I have the stock clutch, should I also change clutch springs? thanks in advance.

you probably just need lighter weights in the tranny... Springs on the clutch and torque spring, he probably didn't mind the slow acceleration...



An over range is around $350 (not 250...) and would increase your low end take off and torque... but try some roller and spring changes first to see if it could make you happy

It is hard to determine the roller weight, it is really trial and error, but 4.5 or 5g should be a go starting point. You may need a set of motorio clutch spring (provo sells those) try the blue one, (medium strength). If it is still sluggish at the take off, then you will need to use the red (stiffest in the pack).
