Hmm, Ive screwed up lol. I origianlly thought that the "fake" CVT LIKE gearboxes were the ones with the 3 pulleys and chains in them...however after more research to one I posted a link to was in fact just a gear box lol!
Anyway, should I get one I will definatley tune it correctly (once the engine mods are complete so my power band stays put lol!). Tuning will be easy as I can machine my own variator weights.
Lastly, does anyone know what the ACTUAL gear ratios are. The website say approx 7:1 and people here have mentioned something around 6.5:1...okay.
But does anyone know the gear ratio when the variator is fully closed (ie say teh engien is a redline and the CVT is in "overdrive"). Whats the ratio then? 1:2 (0.5:1)?
Oh and heres a good supplier if you want to pay with paypal, also they ship international!!!

For me (in Aus) and with our exchange rate, a CVT will cost me $120. Coupled with a FULLY modified PB engine my build so far will cost $500 and thats without the bike!
