Description
After having established themselves as one of the leading manufacturers of 50cc tuning parts, Stage6 is now venturing out into the maxi scooter market: Stage6 Front Pulley / Fan Wheel Maxidrive for variator kit Maxidrive for Vespa LX / Piaggio LEM 125 - 150cc. Improved power transmission from engine to wheel, maximum performance. Vespa LX / Piaggio LEM 125 - 150cc.
This is the matching drive pulley for the Maxidrive variator, designed to improve the shifting characteristics of maxi scooter engines.
CVT Pulleys
Pulleys are an integral part of the CVT system on scooters and mopeds with automatic CVT transmission.
The continuously variable transmission consists of fixed and moving pulleys, the V-belt rises and falls between them depending on the engine speed, changing the speed of the vehicle.
When should you change a pulley?
There are two reasons for replacing pulleys:
- Wear and tear. Although pulleys are relatively durable, the constant sliding of the V-belt can deform the surface.
- Tuning. Different pulley angles and diameters can improve the handling of scooters or mopeds.
Note: A CVT variator can only do a good job when CVT pulleys as well as torque drive pulleys are compatible with each other. Pitches and diameters of the individual elements must be matched so that the V-belt can glide evenly.
