Feeling pretty good about myself

Post by Howardr »

So, my Buddy had started having a weird vibration/shaking sensation as I was starting from a stop, every time. I thought to myself "Take this to Scoot OVer and have them check it out." then "No, you have almost 15k mile experience, you can diagnose this thing!"
Not-so-long story short, I took apart the variator and BEHOLD! flat spots on the rollers! Replaced those and smooth riding again.

Thank MB and users who gave me the confidence and photos to help me do this.

Nice job! You get a big gold star for being self-reliant! Bravo. We really do have an amazing resource here in MB, don't we. Pretty much everything scooter-technical I know I've learned from the people here. :+!:
