Will a GY6 Variator work / fit a Elite S Dio?

This may have already been addressed, but doing a search here provided no definitive answer.
It used to be that if you searched Ebay for Elite DIO Variator (Pulley) you would get hundreds of results, not today. But I see hundreds of results for GY6 and it looks identical. Also it appears that the ...

I can see you both make good points. I guess I have to consider what it is im really looking for. My main use is to go to work and back, with some occasional cruising on the weekends. My work is 7 miles away on rural roads, 45 MPH and I have 4 or 5 stops. My biggest issue is on the longest stretch ...

Can my Elite hit 50mph with $200?

My 2001 Honda Elite SA50 goes 42 on flats since upgrading the pulley and weights, but I really want 50. Is this possible with a $200 budget? What would you suggest be my next purchase? Other than the pulley the rest is stock. Thoughts?

9 gram rollers seem kinda heavy, but could be ok. most people run 7's and 8's. What is the brand of the ramp plate? looks kinda generic.

2001 elite SR, paid $200 this May. Drove it home had 2500 miles on it. I searched the word moped in the craiglist garagsale section, went to the garage sale first thing in the morning and bought it before they had everything put out.

Im not a fan of the KRS because it uses 8 rollers, so if you want to tune it with weights you will have to buy more, and all the roller kits ive ever seen come in packs of three. The Kelly one is nice, but you will still need to buy a ramp plate as it does not come with one.

I had this problem, but mine would only go 27mph max. Today it goes over 35-37 and what I did was put in a new pulley, rollers and ramp plate (bought all on ebay for less than $50) and took about 45 minutes to put in.

This sounds like exactly what happend to me when i ran out of gas once. So im wondering if its a fuel issue, gunk in the lines or crap at the bottom of your tank. Try some seafoam in with your next fillup.
