Finally Addressing The Honda Navi’s Transmission Issue…

It's finally time to address the weird issue that my Honda Navi's been having, shaking and shuddering under initial acceleration, with only 800 miles on the clock. I think I have it narrowed down to a clutch issue, so I bought a new NCY clutch kit, and figured I might as well replace the stock variator with an upgraded variator kit from Malossi while I'm in there! If everything goes according to plan, this should not only resolve all the problems I've had with my Navi's transmission, but also make it quicker AND get a higher top speed!
Edit: After filming this I was so impressed by the improvement that I decided to upgrade the springs inside of the new clutch as well…and HOLY CRAP it’s like a whole new bike! If you want to do the clutch and variator shown in this video, you NEED to do the springs too! Check out that video here- • Is THIS The BEST $15 Y...

If you’re impressed by how much this clutch & variator kit improved the Navi, wait til you see what this $15 mod did to the performance afterwards! 😳 kzbin.info/www/bejne/laK8lq2fltino6c

[@CricketandBee]

Did you find that replacing the clutch fixed that shaking issue? My wifes navi seems to be doing something similar, I uploaded a short to show what its doing, the whole front end shakes but nothing is loose.

[@LifeOfBurch]

@@CricketandBee I just watched your short and it’s dang near EXACTLY what mine was doing, and the new clutch did completely fix my issue! If you want to try a free remedy first though, try taking some rough grit sand paper and sanding the inside of the clutch bell housing to see if that helps at all. After replacing my clutch I realized that my stock bell housing was a bit glazed which was causing the clutch to slip right as it engaged, which caused the shaking. So roughing up the housing may help the clutch grab and solve your issue, otherwise swapping the clutch should do the trick! Good luck man, hopefully that helps!

[@CricketandBee]

@LifeOfBurch Thanks man, it is still under warranty, and we did buy an extended one (half price, ha ha) so probably gonna take it in at some point. Both local dealerships haven't had much experience with them yet so was looking for any ideas to throw out to them and came across your video.

We need less safety laws and more natural selection.

[@feliperodea8316]

My guess why you needed a clutch in 800 miles is because previous owner did burnouts with it...

[@nikola611]

This is not a cvt issue, sir. My suspicion is confirmed by two facts. First, you lose power as the engine warms up and second, you have trouble staring it up. The upgrade may arguably improve the performance, but the main issue is the Valve Clearance and the oil you use. Trust me!

[@keithdosik]

I absolutely love the Navi content! Please don’t stop. More upgrades for the motor next!

[@MrPage62]

The clutch didn't really improve performance, except for the juddering issue. (You might have been able to fix that by scuffing up the pads and/or bell housing with 80-grit black sandpaper.) The whole variator assembly didn't really improve your performance. Essentially all that makes the difference are those weights. Yup. The weights. I installed a set of 13g weights that cost about 30 bucks IIRC. That did it. Yeah, I'm cheap, but then again it's an $1800 bike. Cheap bike, cheap fixes! ;)

[@ernieschatz3783]

OK Mr. know it all. The lighter clutch reduces rotational mass. Go look up how that improves performance, so you put out proper info.

[@tacticalidiot175]

​@@ernieschatz3783cry about it

[@wrxguyusa]

Benchmarking the acceleration before an after is very interesting. The effort is appreciated. Is there a break-in procedure for a new clutch?

[@bullfrogjay4383]

I'm late to this party but I'm glad you took it upon yourself to fix it. It ads to your mechanical skill and deep knowledge of the Navi. I hope this video helped others diagnose the same issue with their bikes. Awesome job man 👍

[@J.R.F.23]

LifeOfBurch In the previous video you said it was still under warranty. Why did you not try to go through the warranty first? Also what was the apron cost of the upgraded parts in this video?

[@thatblueranger420n]

The fact that that stock clutch nut came off with ease may have been an issue there was no resistance when you back it off it's crazy that Honda doesn't put any loctite on those nuts 😮

[@drakoset7006]

Do you still continue to have starting issues after changing the clutch?

[@1234y7-t]

so are all the new navi have issues like the brown one you bought? I am looking to buy one brand new from Honda dealer near me but I don't want to if it has issues??

[@JH-zt5ni]

Fair play in tackling that sort of issue. I certainly wouldn’t be that brave. Nice work!

[@LifeOfBurch]

Thanks dude! I wasn’t super confident going into it having never done anything with CVT before, but it ended up being a breeze for the most part! 🤘🏻

[@Shagnasty-bo5bj]

My Malossi racing clutch is tunable. I got rid of the dreaded clutch shudder with the new clutch and the Malossi bell. The Dr Pulley sliders instead of rollers were great too. After the install of the new clutch parts I never looked back, and that was 30000 miles ago. Yeh you read that right, I'm rolling on a Honda Reflex that just turned 55000 miles and the clutch parts were installed at 21000 miles. I was so tired of the stock Honda clutch shudder on take off. No worries about the Malossi parts, they have proven to be extremely durable with very little wear. I change my drive belt every spring time so I get to see the parts once a year. Roughly 10000 miles per year on the scooter traveling all over my state of Illinois and all the surrounding states. No problems so far with Malossi, good stuff!!

[@mattalger2325]

Malossi is great! I have their Multivar in my Roughhouse. Immediately noticeable difference. And the white contra spring for better downshifting on hills and when backing out of then getting back into I the throttle. Although the more resistance of the white spring had me stay with stock roller weights (for now) because I'm a bit heavier at 240 pounds. CVT'S can also, actually should be tuned for rider weight. A new set of rollers can make a world of difference in acceleration and or too speed. Rollers are a consumable part that should probably be changed every 5000 miles because they wear a flat spot on the urethane bushing. I'm going to go with a stage six adjustable clutch for better takeoffs and for occasionally raising the front wheel, which btw can also be done for the Navi, or any bike with a CVT tranny. Adjustable clutch's are so much better than dicking around changing clutch springs. I can't wait to get a Yazuni pipe, this little two stroke smoker needs to breath, and the stick pipe sucks. A Yasuni pipe will wake this little 50 up in the 7000-8500 range, and sound more evil while doing it. 😂

[@Datrebor]

That looked pretty much a not too difficult upgrade to the transmission. AT 1,800 bike it makes more sense to buy one of these new than to find a small bike used. As, although a real motorcycle, this looks to provide all the fun of riding but in a smaller and easy to ride package this old guy wants.

[@gamingbigfats3934]

Mine is all stock and it does 50mph all day long.

[@mikes.7900]

good work, I bet you're glad you decided to fix the issue rather than trash the bike. Ever worry about any drips on your carpet though? I might put some cardboard under the bikes just in case they leak anything :)

[@LifeOfBurch]

Woah woah woah- just cause I fixed it doesn’t mean I won’t still trash it! 😂 I’m hoping that I can get to play in the snow with this bad boy if we get any decent accumulation this year! And honestly this carpet is so thrashed that I’m kinda hoping it gets messed up and gives me a reason to rip it up haha I’d looove to do polished concrete in the living room some day for an industrial feel!

[@thepab3072]

The clutch/ variator is the first thing to change on the Navi, it's where you get the most gain. Quick acceleration and 56mph is probably what most people want anyway. Need more, intake, exhaust and jets (maybe a better carb)... After the only thing to do is a big bore if one ever shows up. The Navi would have been perfect if it was a 125cc EFI. If ever a 125 EFI conversion shows up I may go for it, it will help to make it more livable.

[@meathead585]

Did I miss something...What about a factory warranty to cover parts and labor in a Honda shop ?

[@LifeOfBurch]

Yes. Yes you did miss something. Like my other video(s) detailing everything you’re curious about.

[@ghosthippox]

Like watching you work on the Navi! Would love to see you max it out with current upgrades available.. not that there are that many.. but someone needs to do a GY6 swap and a stretch on one of these, that would be awesome. Oh, and you should totally drag race the girlfriend.

[@123edwardzpad]

Definitely race Nina on the Navi. Only on the safe, secluded raceway. Supposedly it's not the clutch pads that get glazed it's the metal on the cover gets ultra polished. Freshening the clutch cover surface with the Emery cloth or 400 grit sandpaper helps acceleration.

[@DecadesDiner]

Great tip. Thanks

[@deltabravo1257]

I’ve wondered what the problem was from Back when you posted the video showing the problem. Good to see that it’s fixed and that you were able to fix it yourself.

[@postersm7141]

It would be cool if they made it clear cover so you could see all of the new components spinning around, kind of like a Ducati with a dry clutch!!

[@waynemcknight9999]

[@TheLiquidlane]

The Navi looks so cool, wish we had them in Germany

[@arbiter6452]

Now we can do the AC to DC conversion kit and install LEDs. Much safer to have the lights on all the time and not powered by the engine RPM.

[@kalpersaud9132]

I feel bad for his carpet

[@tallynmichael]

You got the ncy clutch with the red springs that are 2000 rpm. SO that takes 2000 rpm for the clutch to start spreading out to engage with the clutch drum. Should have got the one with blue springs instead which are 1000 rpm. Quicker engagement and take off speed. Also the malossi contra spring is a higher rpm spring than the stock contra spring, its better with stock contra. You can just buy the blue ncy springs and install in the clutch. Now you should also take off that horrible air box and just put on a simple cone or pod filter on the carb for even better response. Cheap and easy stuff. Of course exhaust is a given for a little more power and better sound.

[@LifeOfBurch]

Thanks for the heads up! I had no idea that you could get different springs for the NCY clutch to set the engagement RPMs. I did notice that it takes longer to grab now and thought it was something I’d just have to get used to. I’m definitely gonna grab some of the blue ones! Past that she’s staying stock for now. That was always the plan until I had to do this out of necessity. Of course that’s always how it starts, right? 😂

[@tallynmichael]

@@LifeOfBurch The blue springs will make a world of difference for like 10 bucks or whatever. I stopped saying im gonna leave stuff stock lol. My Navi has 2 grand in mods and im about done with it. My Honda ruckus has 5 grand in custom mods and now my Honda CB300R that I just got 3 weeks ago already has 1500 in mods. Ive yet to meet anything I like stock. Anyways enjoy.

[@postersm7141]

Bro how come all your Hondas are broken lol I’m just messing with you. I can’t believe how the dealership and Baltimore treated you with the shadow. Hopefully that video will get some traction

[@mattalger2325]

Some CVT tips:. Grab some extra variator nuts when working on the CVT. Thay are deliberately made softer than the shaft they bolt onto. That's because that is the engine crankshaft and if you fuck up those threads the entire engine will need to be disassembled to repair it. So, that said, be careful how you tighten the Variator nut, especially with an impact. There is also a tool that locks into the teeth on the wheel that mounts up next to the variator to help hold it while tighten ing or loosening the variator nut. Clutch pad and the inside of the bell wil look slick and smooth when glazed over, sand them with 80-120 grit sandpaper to restore their respective grip to one another. If the clutch pads are broken, chipped or severely worn in an unbalanced way, replace the clutch immediately. It must be fairly balanced. If the assembly isn't balanced it can cause severe vibration issues. Also roller weights, clutch springs, contra and belts are consumable parts. Belts must be a certain width to engage the V groove in the front and rear pulleys correctly. Belts can affect acceleration, vibration and top speed, especially if they're worn, out of spec, and also when you change to aftermarket parts you may need a different belt depending on what you replace. What Burch was likely experiencing was clutch chatter or the belt slipping. Sometimes they are out of spec or wear funny causing them to failz feel and or act weird prematurely. Belts should last around 7-10 thousand miles in most two wheel CVT transmissionsl applications. Not sure about automotive CVT'S. Yes they use them in cars too. Anyway, when you add the heavier white contra spring, it will affect the way the rollers play together with the clutch, so when I added the white spring I decided to still use the stock roller weights, because I had to account for the stronger contra spring. The contra works together with the rollers to change "gears". You can buy different sets of roller weights to tune the CVT for your weight, and application. In other words you can tune the CVT gor balance, for takeoff or for too end. Keep in mind there are diminishing returns. Meaning if you go too light on the roller weights, it will not accelerate well and top speed will be abysmal. Too heavy andnit won't accelerate or downshift well, it's a balancing act that isnt hard to figure out. The key, especially with two strokes is to keep the engine revving in it's primary power band when its trying to take off or go up a hill. The contra spring essentially helps the transmission "downshift" when you say back out of the throttle to slow down, them need to accelerate again, but has rhe effect of not going down a gear ro oivk up soeed again. To wrak a contra spring is the manual transmission equivalent to staying in a higher gear when yiu shouldve downshifted. So instead of dropping the belt deeper into the rear pulley causing the engine to stay revving in the bike's engines power band. Clutches: Heavier clutch springs are basically like a stall converter in a car transmission. Meaning that the stronger the clutch springs, the higher rpm the engine must at to begin gripping or engaging the clutch pads into the inside rim of the clutch bell to start driving the wheel axle. Suoer heavy springs would essentially be like popping the clutch on a car or regular manual transmission. Not ideal for street use, unless your just wanting a wheelie bike build or drag racing. CVT'S aren't difficult and they are a must maintain and tune item for a vehicle that has one in my opinion. Scoots. ATV'S, Snowmobile. They work and are cheaper and easier than manual gearboxes. Yiu can also change final drive gear ratios as well. Also quality rubber really matters, especially for really small 12 inch rims. Dunlop, Pirelli, and Michelin are good places to start for 12 inch tires treads. Look for a deep rain groove.

I watch other vids on mini bikes [yeahmight get 1 a does] from Black66 he has loads a upgrade ideas and on the cheap. he is a pavement type too that looks for speed. 0-30 lol but such great ideas. Id build one for trails, so slow n grunty/low torque would be my concern as I seldom need 30 on a trail. yeah I have a shop 24' x 27', my wife calls it the garage. to my surprise it was her idea to bring my saw in the kitchen as she thought it looked too pretty to sit out there. ;) after a few months I moved it to the shop & havnt gotten any comments about that. [it looks pretty out there] my bike/ [i call it a 4 wheeler] is inside the shop being a pretty [2022] I bought last year. it dont leak, but. . . when I had bikes they did come inside the house, [my single days] but my lill voice said I needed to build a shop with a concrete floor. that voice sounded like it knew best. . . 😎

[@niko2002]

Video idea, akrapoviç exhaust upgrade with 0-50mph tests.

[@timrhind]

I know it's all resolved but it may return on you. Common with CVT. Usually means you have to open up the CVT a d blow out the worn belt dust and clutch dust. Video still playing at this time so if rollers are all in place and none disintegrated causing imbalance I would say it's just a cleaning. Same happens on my Forza 350 so it may happen to you again on both bikesm

[@LifeOfBurch]

Do it dude! You’re exactly right, these are the PERFECT step up from a scooter. My girlfriend learned lots of her riding skills on her Navi, then translated those skills to her Rebel 300. Navis are the perfect stepping stone into “real” bikes and they’re so cheap and easy to work on!

Hey Burch one thing I’ve noticed watching your swap and every other one on KZbin is everyone else is pairing the new bell housing on top of the old one. Your way makes the most sense. Why would you want both of them on there? To me you only need the one and obviously you want to reduce weight not add it. Just something I’ve noticed and I’m not sure why everyone else is getting this step “wrong”. Love your videos!

Even the road where I did these tests is a road I wouldn’t normally ride on since the speed limit is 50. I try to stick to 40-45mph roads tops on the Navi, especially since people are expecting to do 5-10 over most times.

The Navi has a 0.9 gallon tank and a mpg of 132.6 so not bad other than it having a carburetor 👍 best to use unleaded Ethanol for the bike it has some protection against the engine sputtering also I bought a new carburetor which is why I said a 132.5 mpg difference also major speed difference I can get a top speed of 62 mph switched the throttle and the best thing I found out is that you have to fill it up higher than the average of 0.756 I filled it up to 0.923 and major difference also I changed the brakes to hydraulic and made the speedometer LED and added front suspension also the heavier you are the slower the acceleration is so if you wanna hit 62 mph be 165-175 lbs and you’ll get that difference with the government tax and fees plus the bike and all the mods it costed me $3,347 so this can be a nice little moped/scooter if you put the work in

[@stevengardner9126]

Be sure to brake in the new clutch

[@ashchackal6172]

Those clutch pads looked bad on the ends. Chipping away from not engaging correctly? I did a lot of CVT work when I had my Ruckus back in the day. Slightly heavier weights will give you a little more top end and once you get your weights dialed in the slider style weights will maximize how far your variator can open up. On starting and running issues, check your airbox to make sure it is sealing/closed up correctly. A leak into it will throw off your jetting. I eventually opened up my airbox with a 3x4 cut out and a rain shield and rejetted. That was my Ruckus days. Looking at the Navi and the price point, I'm thinking it's a beefed up Ruckus? Continued good luck in your Navi adventures!

The wear on the inside of the bell housing at 6:30 sure did not look uniform when you lifted it up for a second there. Could not tell if that was uneven wear or just reflections. If uneven wear, I bet that something was wrong with the bell housing. Seems like when clutch was engaging, it was skipping as it was engaging the tight spots then slipping off again instead of smoothly engaging till locking in. Good that you fixed it.

I now want a Navi to drive around town for errands. Way better than stuffing everything in a backpack…most will fit in the fake engine compartment.

[@LifeOfBurch]

Navi’s are literally PERFECT for that! The storage compartment holds way more than I expected. My girlfriend and I fit an entire Memorial Day picnic in it once- pack of hotdogs, pack of buns, ketchup, mustard, plates, forks, potato salad, 3 or 4 White Claws, and lemonade. Then we put charcoal and a lighter in a backpack and headed to a local park that had grills. Such a fun little bike!
