Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Hey friends,

Sorry for the stupid question, but I've searched and couldn't find an answer. I've got my scooter apart and I'm trying to install the Keli pulley from daywot but I'm confused about one part...

The stock SA50P variator had a ramp plate and then the "seal" with 3 screws as seen below. I know the Kelli Pulley uses the ramp plate from the stock variator, but it also came with a new "seal." (The gold one below)



Should I install with the gold seal plate and screws, or should I install with just the ramp plate?



Thanks!

of course after posting I decide to search "three screws variator" and find a TON of topics saying don't install the new plate.

NOW my question is to WHY daywot's keli pulley included the very plate that would restrict the pulley?

becase.. try it with it then try it with out it ...

haha thanks for the "helpful" info.

With my Aero 80's variator, even with the rollers all the way out the ramp plate does NOT hit the backing plate, well ove an 1/8th inch clearance. So in that case there is no restriction. You did not grease the rollers did you? Because without grease the o-ring seal is redundant and unnecessary. Honda no longer greases rollers, as it causes more problems than it cures.

Installed everything (sans gold backplate and three screws) and I hit 40 easily. Will report back once I get a long straightaway, but it felt like I easily 42 or 43.

This is a derestricted SA50P with just the Keli Pulley as an upgrade.
