It does help somewhat with the throttle lag from a dead stop, but the transmission has to do a fair bit of slipping before the scooter starts to move, that's kinda the nature of the beast I guess..
The noise coming from the front of the motor that has that warble sound is pretty darn loud unless your are cruising very lightly.
I have the Akro exhaust with the baffle removed and its still way louder than that. (The intake noise sounds like a farm tractor, just terrible)
Anyone ever try...
These are pretty common things to do to any scooter (This is my second one with DR Pulley sliders) and there really is no downside to these, that's one of the reasons most scooters owners change these out.
1. Better low end acceleration
2. Better top end gearing
3. Longer life
The only...
It took me about 2 weeks to get the sliders from wherever they come from.
I don't drink and I don't need anything for helping. I enjoy working on vehicles :)
Shoot me a PM when you get em and I'd be happy to assist.
No part of your warranty is voided...
These are just little plastic pieces in the variator. The stock ones wear out and need to be replaced anyways, so something a little lighter/better design is nice...
I even have the BMW tool, I could probably do this job in 30 minutes. Pretty easy...
The stock ones were still in excellent shape, but yeah they are a little loose like most variators. Maybe when they start to wear out i'll massage the DR Pulley ones to fit better...
Just to add more info to this thread. The Variator nut size is 33mm.
I just installed the 3020R 28gram sliders today. I didn't even need the BMW variator holder tool, I just used a strap wrench that I had for oil filters, worked perfect.
When you go wide open throttle you can hear the engine...
I got my DR Pulley slider weights today, they look slightly different than most sliders I have seen. That's when I noticed there is a 3020 and a 3020R version and both are listed as for the BMW C650/C600.
I'm not really sure the correct orientation to install these since they seems to differ...
600.
It is much much taller than stock. The wind truly goes right over my head in the highest position (I'm 6 foot tall). But I get some minor buffeting around my shoulders at highway speeds, But its pretty quiet....
The screen at the medium setting is louder and smoother. Nicer for hot days...
The back of the nut is inside the plastic unfortunately. What I ended up doing was drilling a small hole right into the plastic and into the metal bushing inside, I left the drillbit inside and that held the nut in place and I could them back the screws out.
The Givi windshield sure comes with...
True, but high speed riding does heat the temps up more than low speed riding. Most motorcycle manufactures recommend higher pressure for high speed riding.
And I'm not going to high on the pressures, just 2 psi extra on the front. I keep the rear at 42psi as that's the recommended pressure with...
Got my Givi windshield yesterday, Went to remove the 4 bolts on the stock windshield and the top 2 ones just spin, if I look at the back side I can see the threaded insert just spinning in the plastic and there's not an easy way to hold it from the back.
Anyone run into this? Any tricks?
I hate...
I run 38F and 42R. I like to run higher pressure the reduce drag as I do mostly highway riding. Plus it keeps the tires lasting longer, less cuping etc...
Oh, $30 is not bad at all for the tool, Can I get it at a BMW dealer? Just ask them for a variator tool?
Do you know what the torque spec is for the variator nut and what size it is?
I'm just doing sliders, so I won't need the spring compressor luckily...
