Curiosity about variators

Your scoot should get around 75-85 miles to the gallon in the real world, and you may loose a whopping 2 mpg's overall. Just variator, your top end speed will increase around 2-5mph (again, the scoot will only go as fast as the final drive gear ratio) but, when tuned right, will move off the line. If you get the whole NCY kit (variator and rear pulley) maybe 5-8mph extra and even quicker off the line. Trust me, its worth the upgrade! Also, larger tanks are not always worth the trouble. Oh, and make sure if its the whole kit (vario and rear pulley) that it keeps the electric starter if thats an issue for you. Some over-range kits have you remove it, some dont. Not sure exactly what NCY kit your looking at, but their tans kits are good. Finally, if your thinking of changing the final gear ratio, make sure your motor can move it! If you dont have enough power to turn the "improved" ratio the scoot will actually be slower. Final drive mods usually mean a bbk.
