Is THIS The BEST $15 You Can Spend On Your Honda Navi?!

[@thepab3072]

The best thing about the Navi is low cost mods makes it perfect. Don't need crazy power out of the Navi, just need to make it more livable. It a great runabout Cool vid 😊 thanks for the reviews

[@LifeOfBurch]

Agreed 100%! I can’t think of anything else where you can have this much fun, for this cheap, brand new! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@insanity345]

@@LifeOfBurch hey man. Sorry its an older post. I just put malossi kit and new clutch (s23) with 1500rpm springs provided. Followed instructions to a tee. If i give it full throttle from a stop, My forks and handlebars shake/vibrate a bit. This happens for a 1/4 second. Never had it happen with stock it was always smooth. Is it extra torque? I don't have this problem if the bike is rolling and I pin it. I've also noticed it revs up, chugs for a 1/4 of a second and then everything is fine. Once again not an issue if I'm rolling and pin it. Assuming with a softer start i wont have these problems but your video looks like you don't have this. I've done exhaust/jets/intake/malossi/clutch/springs.

[@insanity345]

It had 1500, 2000 (installed factory) or 2500RPM springs in the clutch kit. I know you have the 1000 RPM springs but you'd think the lowest spring provided would be fine. I know you lowered because of chugging. But i'm not sure if my problem is different. Since you dont have the vibrations. My clutch grabs right away. Just not sure.

[@michaelhall1298]

Flip those c clips around, so they don't fling off from the centrifugal force. When you pulled them off they were facing the opposite direction from the inside out. Nice job though!

[@willseely4515]

When you put in lighter rollers you change the RPM that the variator starts moving the belt. That's why it takes longer to start moving. So, increasing RPM engagement in the variator requires a decrease in RPM engagement in the clutch. Now put a red contra spring in and play with the rollers until you can do unassisted wheelies.

[@zinku418]

Dude, I really like your enthusiasm during the video and how expressive you are. I have been interested in getting A Navi and getting into riding, and I'm glad I came across this channel!

[@DuggleBogey]

Warning man, when you start getting into CVTs and centrifugal clutches, it's addictive. I love CVTs and scooters, especially Hondas like the Reflex and Silver Wing.

[@LifeOfBurch]

I can already feel the addiction setting in 😭 Seeing how much fun it is to tinker with the Navi’s CVT has me looking back into an ADV150 more seriously again 😅

[@MotoDash1100]

@LifeOfBurch Dude, an ADV150 would be not a bad bike for you if you do like this CVT stuff, it would be JUST enough adventure esque to have fun with it in the woods, but not lumbering amd heavy

[@KimmoJaskari]

Those three clips that closed up the clutch thing were on backwards. The opening in the clips should point out, so they get pushed towards the pin they're clipped into. You put the opening towards the center of the clutch, which means they're only holding on with the friction. In theory they could get ejected into the clutch when it spins fast.

Love it dude, sucess story in the end. I was convinced it was a carb issue when you first bought it goes to show me a lesson there lol. This Navi has been a rollercoaster of emotions, i was feeling the anxiety for you when you first bought it. Hope with the new mods your happily enjoying the bike 🤘

[@chelseasantana8531]

Just found out what a navi was today!! I took a riders 18:48 course last year, but still haven’t bought a bike just cause I am not sure what I want to use as a very first, but this has got my attention for sure. With having very little experience on a bike.

[@LifeOfBurch]

These things make great first bikes! Super cheap, easy to use, confidence inspiring, and even though you should expect to “outgrow” its capabilities quicker than you would on a 300cc, 500cc, etc, it would be PERFECT to keep as a secondary fun bike once you’re ready to move up to something bigger!

[@ayedee6681]

Got a Kymco Agility 50 4T for my daughter, that thing could barely make 30mph, got a kit like yours, did the variator and limiter pin, could not get the dang clutch off (did not have an impact driver). Still with the limiter pin removed and lighter rollers, we managed to get the little thing up to about 42mph - which was good for a 50 4T.

[@KugelandFuse]

[@andywright5147]

I'm still surprised the original clutch was toast, must have been defective or poor install from the factory because I think you said there wasn't much for miles on it

I reckon your original problem would have been the springs. 1 or 2 of them installed backwards causing the clutch pads to swing put at different rates. Would explain the vibes.

[@Staysharp3211]

I got the same color one myself. Love it and I wish it was a bit faster but hey, the Navi will get ya in a lil trouble lol"

[@BowHunterPlanet]

GREAT VIDEO!!! you rock.

[@DrSveetdiik]

The springs are +1000 or +1500 to what is considered stock. Meaning the clutch will engage once the bell is spinning at a higher rpm giving you more take off speed. When the engine is making more power at higher rpm.

[@SHSPVR]

The reason why you are having a hard time installing the springs it's because you were trying to do them the wrong way you're supposed to turn it 90 degrees and rotate it into the hole

[@mnuncio8793]

You should try one of those GY6 plug in modules

[@davidcanter2376]

Thanks for the info on the handle grips

[@martinherald6492]

Nah, I had a step125 that did that. You get used to it and the bike accelerates harder. Effectively it's the same as having a high stall converter on your car. It sucks on a street car but a small capacity bike, it works great.

[@phisharkk]

will low weight rollers/sliders alone allow wheelies? to be fair, it's the best $15 AFTER a $400 clutch upgrade. i got my 12g rollers shipping as we speak which makes bike 10% faster, but idk if i can justify 10x that cost ($400) to make bike another 5-10% after that. or, to do wheelies - is the clutch upgrade a must?

[@joshuathinker8546]

So here is a question for my fellow navi riders: By replacing the springs with essentially weaker springs won't that :shorten the life" ? If so then will keeping the 2000 rpm springs on eventually wear down to 100 Rpm?

[@RebelCowboysRVs]

No. All this does is change when the clutch engages. If anything the clutch should last a bit longer as the clutch is being slipped less over its life an at a lower slip speed. Theoretically though because the clutch is engaging sooner, it will have a harder time getting started on a steep hill. You also have to be more careful about making sure your idle is set low enough.

I don’t understand why you’d want to run 1000 rpm springs or even 1500 rpm springs when the idle (should be) set for 1700 RPM. Another $15 dollar mod you need is a tachometer, by having the clutches grab earlier you’re just going to prematurely wear it out.
