The problem it solves

A transmission overhaul on these machines is usually done by replacing everything inside the case at once. It works, and it teaches you nothing — so when the same symptom returns in eight months, you replace everything again, and you still do not know what the belt in there is or what the rollers weigh.

The CVT contains the fastest-wearing parts on a scooter and the ones most often replaced with something different from what came out. It is also the system with no dipstick and no warning light, so it gets attention only once it squeals.

This pack covers a whole overhaul in one print job: work out what is actually wrong before opening it, measure everything that comes out at true size, and record what goes back in with its measurements so the next service starts from evidence.

Do that twice and you have your own wear rates — how many miles your belt lasts, how quickly your rollers flatten. That number is worth more than any published interval, because it is about your machine and the way you ride it.

The mistakes this sheet exists to prevent

  • Fitting a new belt into a case contaminated with oil, which glazes the new one within weeks.
  • Replacing the belt without checking the clutch, which glazes and causes the same symptoms.
  • Binning the old rollers without weighing them, losing the only record of how the machine was set up.
  • Ordering a belt by engine size rather than by case length and measurement.
  • Cleaning friction faces with something that leaves a residue, which makes the slip worse.

Who it is for

  • Anyone about to open the transmission for the first time
  • Owners with a slipping, juddering or squealing CVT
  • Anyone who has changed roller weights and wants to know whether it helped

What is on it

  • The slipping, judder and squeal diagnostic with a full cover-off inspection list
  • Belt measurement with true-size width bars and the marking convention explained
  • Roller measurement with true-size diameter circles and a per-roller weight record
  • A service record that builds your own wear rates over time

How to use it

  1. 01Diagnose before you open it. The symptom sheet is first for a reason.
  2. 02Check the calibration rule before measuring against any printed scale.
  3. 03Measure and weigh the old parts before they go in the bin — that is the whole value.
  4. 04Keep the service record with the machine and fill it in every time the cover comes off.
