First explanation I’ve seen that completely and clearly describes what a variator is doing and how roller weight affects the rpm at which the pulley’s effective diameter changes as well as the rate at which that change takes place all else being equal. Excellent video! Subbed and liked.

For a year now, I've known how to change a belt and assemble a varitator. But I was in the dark with how it worked. I watched so many videos explaining it but your style of explaining how it works was super easy to understand. Thank you for making this video, keep going!

Thank you for doing this video! I’m just learning as I go and everytime I ask another rider.. they always say it’s easy but never really explain it like the way you just did! Thank you again

This is a very helpful explanation. Thank you. I just swapped out my variator and clutch and rollers for sliders without really knowing why.

This is how an instructional video is done - clear, to the point and you know what you’re talking about. The Americans just waffle on and on and on for ages and say very little. This is a breath of fresh air.
I just subscribed . Thank you for doing this so well

Hey mate, thanks for the video. I watched a few and got more confused than I was when I started. Your video was very clear, mate. Thanks a lot I think I know what to do now actually. Cheers.

Thank you first time i actually understood how these worked.

Had to watch an AU video to get a good explanation while sitting in EU. How is that? Thanks for the clear explanation!

Great video mate, really love the explanations. Any tips on tuning the springs?

[chrispbacon]

I am so happy to see that you did not apply grease to the rollers. Many youtubers incorrectly do that.

[theadvocatesails]

Fantastic explanation! Looking forward to ordering some upgrades!

Amazing video helps so much in upstanding what's going on

[elpresidente]

[geoffreypiltz]

Best video on this subject. Forget the others.

Great video man, can you give me some advice on tuning a 4 stroke . Yamaha xmax 300 . Do you think a variator and rollers would give better accelration ? Do you have any suggestions on rolller weights .

[peterepeat]

Just tuned in and subscribed thanks for the very good, informative video. I've got a Sym Jolie scooter where would you recommend I buy my bots from from Australia I want to support the local suppliers so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for the vids

[timdoyle]

Thank you I really appreciate it love your videos ! Great professional content right to the point no messing around and goofing around and all that BS ! I gave up on scooter swap shop videos, too much around and not enough valuable content !

Very good explanation on how a varaitor works with different weight rollers.
My question is, during your explanation I noticed that you are only using the round type of rollers. Can you please explain what the difference is between the Dr. Pulley brand roller weights. That have more of a cam lobe instead of just being round round. Like the ones you are using in this video?
