Does my top speed sound right?

I got the wrong weight rollers with my variator from VTCycles. I called Kenoi up and he sent me the roller kit for $16.00 and no shipping which I thought was cool of him to do. (it was the smaller package of rollers, I didn't need the lower weights). I'd order from VT again in a heartbeat, Daywot has higher prices. I think Daywot wants like $39 for the same rollers I got from VT.

im not saying vt was horrible, im just saying they * me off a little. Id order from them again, but daywot had much better communication and i didn't have any problems with him. Id probably tell vt not to send signiture confirmation again, they would anyway and then id have to make a big hassle out of getting to the post office before they close

i have noticed that VT does kinda lack on there email service. But i have also heard tons of bad things about daywot when it comes to communication.

on your side, i totally understand why you would be *. that sucks *.
on there side, i can understand why they dont want to take the loose of the shipping, it is a business there running. But still, it seems like they could have cut you some sort of deal.

if they would have just told me that all order ship with signiture confirmation this would have never happened. But other than that, they did ship my order very fast and even though they wouldn't return my emails, everytime i called them they were pretty helpful

back on topic, im gonna put my variator on and see what happens, but im not expecting any change

One thing about stock Elite gears. The max you can do on them is 52mph. That's 52mph with big bore, exhaust, pully, carb, intake. blah blah blah blah.... And that's me bombing a hill.

Soooo...now that you only have a bore kit for your elite and nuttin else...I don't think you will find what your looking for in the stock gears. I think 9:1 will give you the performance you are expecting from your set-up.

i have 8.4 gears. not to be rude but i think ive posted that like 3 times in this very thread plus its in my signiture

i think the variator may have gained a little but not much, Id say im doing 45 easily. I know im doing 40 on a slight uphill with half throttle. You guys really think weights will make that big of a difference?

My bad bro. Keep forgetting. Sooo many people with stock bikes looking for that up beat. I just post and go on to the next thread and next forum and next website. Sorry.

Yes...variator will make a big difference, like night and day.

variator really didn't do much for me. I think i need lighter rollers or a heavier clutch spring. Im getting a weight kit. We'll see what works

well, i got my weights and center spring in. Didn't really help any. Center spring evened out my takeoff nicely, but weights didn't help my top end at all. I think the motor just isn't making enough power to push the scooter faster than 45. I thought maybe the motor just didn't want to rev up, so i put the stock gears back in. It got going 40+ and was reved up to where it sounded like it was gonna explode, so thats not the problem. Was kinda fun though, that was a wheelie poppin SOB

Any ideas how i could gain a little power? Does shaving the head effect reliablity? Maybe i should port the intake on the cylinder or the intake elbow??
