[Elite_FiddyS]

Ruckus the only way.

Please.explain.

The keli is a good bolt on with improved midrange and a little better top speed. The ruckus vari has a bigger boost in top speed but I didn't notice the midrange increase of the keli. The ruckus vari also requires grinding the case for clearance. Both use the stock roller dimensions.

I have a stock ruckus I had a polini for ruckus and now i have a (dont remember the name) loved the polini but never had any luck with the stock ruckus one i always lost 2mph...

I never saw substantial gains from the oem ruck vari to the polini for ruck vari when on a stock af16. Not worth the extra money imo. It might be worth it for the op though, I don't know how much an all new oem vari costs but a new polini for ruck can be picked up for $100.

Thanks a bunch guys! So i take it polini is the way to go? As far as rollers go AF05E i weigh 210 has the stock honda rollers in it now that weigh 9.8-10g looking for a little more bottom end

[eliteguy50]

Go lighter. The Polini will come with 6 or 6.5 IIRC.

Well guys I just got my keli vari from daywot. It came with the backing plate that i originally took off my stock vari. Question is should i run it with the plate on or remove it and just use the smaller roller plate from the stock?

Thanks

You talking about the ramp plate..(which holds rollers down)?if the keli came with a ramp plate yes use that one

I had a keli on my first elite.. While riding over 60mph,the ramp plate snapped in half some how.. Took some decent chunks out the inside of the case.. Scary experience ..good thing i had the clutch cover off.. The pieces flew out the back

The Keli variator I got from Daywot gave me a GPS recorded 3.1 mph boost in top speed. I went from 39.4 tops to 42.5. The trade off was a slight decrease in acceleration from a full stop. There is now about 1 second of hesitation before the bike is at full acceleration.

Keli is a good bang for your buck

the size of the roller often depends on your exhaust too, even though i have a bbk I still run the stock 9g rollers I have tried heavier and lighter with little to no improvement because of the stock pipe
