High revs but no speed after bearing replacement and cvt upgrade
I just had to replace the rear wheel bearing on my ruckus cause it blew when I gently dropped it out of a truck lol. Tool apart the cvt and the final drive, bearing install seems to be successful, no more crazy play in the rear wheel. Think I put everything back as it was but there seemed to be a washer missing compared to my parts diagram. Filled the drive back up with 75 90 gear oil. Since I already had it open I decided to drop in my polini variator upgrade while I was there. Since doing the work the speed dropped from like 36 max to 28 max. I changed the rollers and got it back up to 35 but it still feels like it's revving really high and not really being responsive on the throttle. It's also just got a high pitch whine to it and just feels like something's wrong.
I think that it's actually the belts gone bad, I remember it being much more annoying when I installed it and now it seems real loose. My shitty caliper broke but it seems to be right at a 17 mm width which is below usable, usable being like 17.2??
However is there a chance that something with my install on the final drive or the new cvt is the cause of this? Or is this just what a performance variator is supposed to feel and sound like.
I plan to swap back in the old variator this weekend and see if I can eliminate that as a cause but any insight would be appreciated)
