Do you need to run a lot heavier roller weights in the koso variator than the stock variators with a less steep ramp angle?
I just installed a new koso front variator, new Kasea outer face plate, koso lightened shoe clutch with red MRP brand 2k rpm shoe springs, a yellow 1500rpm torque spring, and the koso high grip bell.
I installed new 4.5 gram rollers, and this thing will not shift out at all! It seemed fine on the stand, but when I tried it out in the driveway it wouldn't shift. It feels like the cam plate/slides are hanging up in the variator.
I put my stock modified variator back in it, this time using 6/4 weights, and it seemed perfect.
Did I get a factory blem/defect or do I just need to use a lot heavier rollers?
Thanks, Dan.
