Finally took the time and installed my Dr. Pulley Sliders & Sliding Pieces. Used four 18gm Sliders (Dr. Pulley recommended for Tmax) and four 15gm Sliders (recommended for Majesty 400): Average Weight is 16.5gms. The RESULTS:
1.) Hesitation off the line is GONE. Acceleration from stop is seamless and MUCH faster than stock.
2.) Midrange acceleration (e.g. NAIL it at 30 and keep it down till 65) is ASTONISHING!!! Literally a different bike.
3.) Idle is QUIETER...rattling of the stock variator is GONE...only had 3,500 miles on the rollers & sliding pieces. And the sliding pieces were quite WORN.
I thouight that the Dr. Pulleys had transformed my Majesty; just as much of an inprovement as THAT on my Tmax. For LESS than $75.00. Amazing.
I recently test road the BMW C650GT...my Tmax will now WALK AWAY from that BMW.
WHY such an improvement? The Tmax is now in it's SWEET SPOT at full throttle, with max torque and 90%+ horsepower. Again, Wow.
Thanks, BWT, for the Variator Tool drawing. Made one and was able to torque it to the factory 115 ft/lbs no sweat
(FYI...I marked the nut/crank positions with a scribe. When I reinstalled the nut, at full torque it was PAST the original mark)
(There were a few caveats with the new Sliding Pieces and the HORRIBLE ROUGH CASTING on the variator that they slide against, which is why my factory sliding pieces were worn and loose. If you are interested I'll do a follow-up post.)
Tmaxers: you GOTTA DO THIS MOD!
