Great instructional video Robot. You inspired me to upgrade my Vespa Primavera 50 4T 3V which was 'gutless' until I added a variator upgrade and derestricted ECU. Happy days now !!
I watched one of your videos earlier today and you scuffed up the variator, I've watched probably 60 videos on changing out variators you're the first person I've seen to scuff them up. I took mine off the other day before I seen your video and actually had to scuff mine up because taking out the variator I messed up. Because mine is a Korean scooter. And the nut that attaches the variator is Left-Handed so it's opposite. But I scuffed mine up and it actually made mine feel like my belt got better traction so it's good to see that somebody else is on this.
I have a pcx 125 and keep watching your videos and you make things look so easy I’m close on trading for a GTS 300 over here in the uk. Thanks for posting. Ps think the cameraman needs to get autofocus 😂
sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot the account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
@Emmett Francis thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
i have the 2019 liberty 125 RP8MA4100 the stock variator has warn so im thinking of upgrading to this do i replace the spring in the driven pully the engine is stock
Great video! I changed my belt, everything was pretty much the same, but there is no shim washer. Is this important, should I try order one and fit it?
I have a question. i asked advice from the professional service company of piaggio and they said that if you install 80cc malossi cylinder kit on a 50cc piaggio it will not last and it will brake. What do you think of this?
Good evening Robot can u help me explain why my rear wheel have tiktik sound when after a few miles running.. when i made it full stand then turn free wheeling the tire the tiktik sound is not audible..
I would like to ask something, does the new variator really make a difference?, or should i keep the original variator and replace only the rollers and contra spring to save money?
Hi very good videos, but I don't undrestund hat is the wrench torque for the vaiator in Newtons/meter please? And for the belt to in N/m. you can tell me . Thank's
Would you like to make some videos how to install polini variator for vespa sprint 150 3v iget. It would be nice to have some details from your video. Gracias🙏🏻🙏🏻
Bonjour merci beaucop pour cette vidéo, ce kit exciste aussi pour les Piaggo. Je pense que je vais en équiper mon Medley 125 en espérant avoir une meilleure constance sur les plages d'accèlaration. Bonne continuaton Amicalement
sir have a question, i had my stock center springs replaced, from 800rpm to 1000rpm center springs, the stock had the same plastic on top of the spring, when i replaced it with the 1000rpm centee spring, the mechanic didnt put the plastic on the newer spring. is it ok to leave it like that? or does the centerspring need that same plastic installed ? hope i can get a reply from you thanks
So I bought this kit, and I installed it three times in a row in order to triple check my work. Every time it causes belt slap and the scooter makes a terrible racket when accelerating. Any suggestions on that? I really want the performance but I had to go back to stock before my belt destroyed its self.
Yeah I am quite sure it was installed correctly. I installed it again and ran it for a few days and then put it back to stock again as it just made too much noise. Maybe the noise is part of the deal with these high performance kits. Its makes quite a bit a difference off the line but lowered my top speed by about 3 MPH. Thanks for the reply.
At the 10,000 KM service, do you suggest new belt and this entire kit? My manual suggests inspecting and adjusting other parts but a new belt. Thanks. Visited Vespa Motorsport (from Toronto) a couple of summers ago while in San Diego. Love it. Thanks Robot.
Hey Robot, I really like your videos. Is the variator shown in the video suitable for a 2020 iGet 50cc motor? If so, which roller weight would you recommend?
I have a 2003 Piaggio LT50 being offered for a very good price, 4K miles on it. Can i get parts for it. I find so little info about it anywhere. Why get it if i can not get parts? I found cylinder kits and such. I mean fork springs and seals, front wheel bearings, that kind of thing. The stuff most people do not service - The little parts.
Tutorial must be like this details explanation where necessary mechanical advice.it will be great if you make many tutorial as you can on engine teardown and rebuilt when you are working on different models of scooter.still close camera for 5or8second showing how the mechanical works.this will be be very helpful.reply.
Hello from Turkey. I have yamaha xmax 250cc scooter. While i am changing oil, i used MOTUL 4T 10w40 mineral yağ. Problem is Everybody says use syentetic or half syentetic oil. So sould i change it quickly or?
What we get with a large spring?. Well, large and i think harder than original. I would like reduce the Fuel consumption. I do not mind get out faster, only consumption. Harder, or softer?. Regards.
Harder tuning-type spring requires Kevlar Belt. Exchange out your original belt with a kevlar one. Also, harder springs means increase variator rolls weight. If you buy a full variator Kit like this Malossi, Try using the rollers that came with it. If the Scooter is slow on kickin in the variator, decease the weight on the rolls.
In gearless scooters, should we apply little bit of grease on round shaped rollers and roller-grooves in variator for smooth spinning of rollers in variator? Or will it make more issues after some time like dust deposit, sides of rollers get flat faster, vibrations will increase etc ? Please tell what should we do with proper reason.
Do not put grease on the rollers. Grease could actually hinder the proper movement of the roller and make it sticky. The material of the roller itself along with the shape of the cavity should be sufficient for proper operation. There are some performance rollers such as Malossi or Dr. Pulley that are made with different materials and shapes that may improve performance if that's what you're after.
can someone please tell me how to get a boss that is stuck to the shaft off i am loosing my shit and threading the shaft its just a nightmare please someone help
thank you for all your videos! they are all great and educational! i already have a malossi variator kit on my gts... is the next step adding a malossi delta clutch (in terms of tuning for performance) or you would suggest something different? thx in advance!!
now I know for sure hes not a professional/ 2 things. 2- YOU NEVER turn the variator backwards. screws up the timing chain. and 2 you always grease the inner part of the boss pin before it slides on the crank post. failed.

One of the best instructional videos on RUclips.
I don't even have a scooter.
Robot is the best when it comes to instructional video on how to DIY on any parts of scooters. I've learn many things from him. Good job dude..
Great instructional video Robot. You inspired me to upgrade my Vespa Primavera 50 4T 3V which was 'gutless' until I added a variator upgrade and derestricted ECU. Happy days now !!
hi, do you see any difference with the new variator on your vespa ? I have the same one and want to upgrade so I could hopefully increase its speed
Probably the best modification/improvements I made to my 2016 150 Sprint!! much better hole shot and midrange boost/acceleration.
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
Your instructions are excellent, so detailed. Everything you need to know!

@Emmett Francis It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account !
@Ameer Drew No problem xD
What is the Variator holding tool for the leader 2v motors? Nothing came up and I don’t see a way now to tighten the Variator nut without a tool
You are the best vespa motorsport, thanks to robot too
Thank you too!
I don't have an impact wrench and was wondering if I can use the impact driver to put in the big nut between spring and clutch assembly?
i have the 2019 liberty 125 RP8MA4100 the stock variator has warn so im thinking of upgrading to this do i replace the spring in the driven pully the engine is stock
This like a mopeds, or a minibike centrifugal clutch drive, I thought Vespa was a gearshifter?

I was just about to ask the same question; disappointed that you haven't gotten a reply.
I would like to ask something, does the new variator really make a difference?, or should i keep the original variator and replace only the rollers and contra spring to save money?
What bike do you have
Should i go malossi or polini?

@@mattackerman9657 what rollers did you have before and after ?
@@mattackerman9657 should be quiet as stock....look at the video again...are you sure you got the right kit?
Does it has already torque drive clutch ?
At the 10,000 KM service, do you suggest new belt and this entire kit? My manual suggests inspecting and adjusting other parts but a new belt. Thanks. Visited Vespa Motorsport (from Toronto) a couple of summers ago while in San Diego. Love it. Thanks Robot.
Iam Irish did you find out? I’m gonna hit my 10k soon and wanna know too what I can change ;)
replace it only supposed to last about 9k
With the stiffer spring, we should expect the belt to stay higher in the pulley and improve acceleration?
Yes but lower topspeed most of the time
Hey Robot, I really like your videos. Is the variator shown in the video suitable for a 2020 iGet 50cc motor? If so, which roller weight would you recommend?
Does it make a big diffrence in a 2020 vespa primavera 50?
Really informative well presented tutorial. Thanks
Glad you liked it
Hi Robot! Which is the better brand? Malossi or Polini variator Kit? Thanks
Im gonna ask a stupid question
Why is the belt so loose at the variator part
Hi it's have piaggio carnaby 200cc i like to.instal mallosi cylinder kit 282 ist possible
Nice video guys, one question, with this variator, can i use Dr. Pulley roller?
probably...get advice from DrPulley
I have a 2003 Piaggio LT50 being offered for a very good price, 4K miles on it. Can i get parts for it. I find so little info about it anywhere. Why get it if i can not get parts?

Can I use this on my vespa lx 125?? Plzz tell

Best video on RUclips on that topic. Too bad you used foot-pounds instead of nm so I needed to do some conversios.
Not hard to use google for 30 seconds to convert numbers lmao

Does it fit 2T 50cc prima 2016 UK carb version ? Please
Just check Malossi store website for you model and you will find the fitting variator
can someone please tell me how to get a boss that is stuck to the shaft off i am loosing my shit and threading the shaft its just a nightmare please someone help
Did you drain the oil before opening the case ?
Nope, but he did take a piss before they started recording the video.
uffeman Thank you for editing this. May I drink your shake?
LOL!! best comment
no oil in variator case
you're the best robot.
Thanks for the support!
For this kit how many hp gain?

How i can have more ACELLERATION? Thankss
Lighter roller weights.

Another great informative video - thanks guys.

better hole shot and midrange
Richard Degen thanks sir...love your videos...😊
Do u guys upgrade 946 engines?
I had to use a small chisel and big hammer to undo that top nut, impossible with an Extension Bar and socket...means i had to buy a new nut
that's what an impact wrench is for
thank you for all your videos! they are all great and educational! i already have a malossi variator kit on my gts... is the next step adding a malossi delta clutch (in terms of tuning for performance) or you would suggest something different? thx in advance!!
