Don't just guess. A cheap digital tach/hour meter is like $20 and will tell you exactly how much you're revving.

I don't care what anyone thinks, if you want maximum acceleration without losing any top speed, regardless of how much you weigh (contrary to popular belief), you simply tune your variator weights so that you're staying in the power band of the engine at around 7,000 to 8,000 rpm. That way you're always putting maximum engine power to the ground during acceleration and top speed.

I don't know why people post and repost the same bad advice that heavy people need light weights and lighter people need heavy weights. There is only one correct variator weight for a specific engine and CVT setup in terms of top speed and acceleration and rider weight has nothing to do with that selection.
