To vent or not to vent...
hey scoot heads
quick question, have you seen this: http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/e..._5erg_fzfo.png is it better to have a vented cvt cover or not? |
I'm no mechanic, but I have swapped out my roller weights. I'm wondering if all the road dirt would make your variator weights getting covered in dirt and then not rolling outward in the pockets properly.
The clutch pads and springs all getting more dirt and debris then normal. It also seems like you'd create a vacume of sorts with the belt spinning in there, pulling in stuff?? I think it looks great, but I'm not sure it would be worth while out here in the sticks, maybe city riding it would be ok. IDK, just my $.02. |
Not to be the bearer of bad news again..however. Those do typically suck up dirt and road debris into your CVT and Clutch pulleys. Also beware that MANY of those are fake Chrome plating and peel easily. A few Companies stopped selling them because a few drops of gas oil and other things on them and the 'Chrome' washes off..leaving you with a dull aluminum cover.:ugh: Just trying to save you a few bucks..

I have heard they are good to help keep it cooler in the cvt but I think the dirt would be more harmful than the heat. But I didn't realize the chrome comes off. Haha kinda funny.

I thought Walt was coming over here to open a scoot shop ??
Has anyone heard or spoke with him. ?? |

The BR has a foam backed cover over the aluminum variator/clutch cover, we just throw away the foam cover, and paint the aluminum cover black. I can ride for hours and touch the aluminum cover, it's very warm, but I'd not call it hot.
I do like that covers look and all, but I know how dirty it can get in there covered up properly. |
Walt does have a scoot store Scooterelements.com.

I would just get a hole saw and make your own without buying one. Very easy to do.
