Bom vídeo, dois reparos: na colocação da superfície primária verificar se a correia não está a obstruir a polia fixa na hora de dar o aperto com a chave dinométrica e antes de por a tampa meter a scooter a trabalhar para verificar se tudo está em ordem. Parabéns!

[@ArcanePath360]

Damn those tools are expensive! Thanks for the demo. Invaluable. I don't trust mechanics where I live so this is a great help.

[@EasyboostStrasbourg]

Thank you for your comment. Expensive compared to what because there is no equivalent? The investment is profitable from the first use compared to the realization of this operation by a dealership.

[@ArcanePath360]

@@EasyboostStrasbourg Compared to not needing them at all and being able to do this job with regular tools. I understand they cost a lot to make when they are made especially for one bike, and have to sell for a lot for it to be worth it, but wow, I thought my torque wrench was going to be my most expensive hand tool. I've also got to invest in a female Torx set to get just a couple more bolts off. It's like Torx gave Kymco these bolts to make money selling their tools. So, in order for this to be worth it, I will have to have done this operation at least twice in the bike's life I think. I do about 6,500 miles a year. You say profitable from first use.... how long would a dealer take to do this? Do they not have specialty tools to do it in 13 minutes as you have? Thanks.

[@EasyboostStrasbourg]

​@@ArcanePath360 I completely understand your point of view. We are the only ones to offer a specific tool for the Kymco AK 550. As you can see on the tutorial, the shape of the tool is complex in order to be able to block the variator without damaging it. As for the system for extracting the thrust spring, we are also the only one to offer such a system. If Kymco uses this type of Torx screw or variator design, it is a strategic choice to discourage users from dismantling the scooter. Fortunately, with our tools and this tutorial, disassembly is made easy. As we produce very small series, the price is forcibly higher than a torque wrench produced in large series.

[@ArcanePath360]

@@EasyboostStrasbourg Understood, and thanks for replying. I think I will buy this tool when I need it, having looked at the manual, the belt needs changing every 12,500 miles. I've done 5,000 since last May already so this will likely need doing much sooner than I thought, so is worth doing it myself with the tools rather than paying someone else and hoping that they actually do it. (the mechanics I've used previously cannot be trusted unfortunately).

Merci. Il n'y a pas d’inquiétude à avoir, la courroie se tend "toute seule" au premier démarrage, il n'y a aucun risque qu'elle ne soit pas placée correctement.

Je me demande vraiment combien ça peut prendre en pointe ! Je vais craquer et en prendre un bientôt. Ligne Arrow complète et ce kit, ça fait vraiment envie !

Le gain se ressent à tout niveau. Le mieux est de demander l'avis à ceux qui ont monté un kit variateur sur le groupe Facebook AK 550 : facebook.com/groups/452760531777389/ Il y a aussi une vidéo ici : kzbin.info/www/bejne/moWUmWh7dq-Ahqc

3:20 How the hell does the cover come off? I undid all the bolts exactly as shown, double checked but my cover just will not budge. Have they glued the thing? I even put strapping round the cover to get more leverage and it's as if all the bolts are still in place. The bike moved before the cover did. EDIT: Okay I levered it off and it popped but the gasket is ruined. It seems like someone put glue on it on both sides.

Je viens de me servir de cette video pour le montage du vario,pour le ressort bleu il est fourni 2 rondelles jec est pas si faut les mettres ?

[@EasyboostStrasbourg]

De quelles rondelles s'agit-il ? Serait-il possible d'avoir une photo ou un lien pour les voir ?

[@vorfilmer]

could you tell me which direction the variator is turning. is it clockwise

[@EasyboostStrasbourg]

When you are in front of the variator, it rotates clockwise (same direction as the wheel).

[@raffaeletroncone241]

Je monte le ressort d'origine avec le variateur polini, est-ce que ça change beaucoup avec le ressort polini bleu?

[@EasyboostStrasbourg]

Oui, le poids des galets ne sera plus adapté si l'on monte un ressort d'origine à la place du Polini. Cela aura donc une influence sur les performances.

I took the rear wheel off to get my new tire put on. Now I can't get the brake caliper to slip down over the brake disc. All I did was leave the caliper hanging while I got the tire changed.

Simply spread the brake pads with a wooden wedge, for example.

How much do you think something like this should cost at the garage?

[@okinawanah3463]

$30 - $50 USD

[@ArcanePath360]

Your torque settings aren't quite right. They are within range, but in the service book it says: Front CVT pulley: 75.0 to 91.3 nm Driven pulley: 81.0 to 99.0 nm I know I'm being a bit anal, but some cheapo torque wrenches have as much as a +- 4% margin of error, and even expensive ones need re-calibrating after a time.

[@parisparaskevopoulos3069]

Only in scooters you have about a thousand screws as a matter of speech

[@Michael-gn8yo]

Was bringt die blaue Feder?

[@EasyboostStrasbourg]

The thrust spring must me mounted with the Polini variator. It allows the belt to be held longer at the bottom of the variator. The CVT works like gears on a bicycle. To sum up, it gives you a better acceleration.

[@steffenadge3068]

C est le guide de ressort livrer avec le ressort polini,sur le vidéo on vous vois pas la mettre,idem pour le vario polini il y a un joint avec ressort douille lubrifiant a mettre dans le vario avec de mettre le canon!vous avez pas fais comme cela?

[@EasyboostStrasbourg]

Ok je comprends. Le but de ce tutoriel est surtout de montrer un démontage/remontage d'un variateur quelconque, pas forcement un Polini. Le guide de ressort est déjà sur le correcteur de couple. Avec le Polini, il faut placer le guide et le ressort du canon comme indiqué sur la notice du variateur (sur les schémas en bas de page) : catalogue.polini.com/dep/PI219.pdf

How the hell did you get that belt back on so easily? I had to use a speed clamp in the end to squeeze the belt and push the clutch plates apart enough so I could get the variator back on

[@EasyboostStrasbourg]

You can put 2 screws into the 2 threads on the torque drive in order to push the pulley.
