While tightening to 76lbs the variator nut I broke 2 fins on the front variator (the part where the roller weights are in The number 2 part). Is this going to cause a problem??

If they are DIRECTLY opposite each other...maybe not.
If they are NOT opposite each other....ah.....I'd be looking
for a replacement.
Fins broken off directly opposite each other may not affect
the spin-balance much.
If they are not opposite each other, or size of the broken
parts are not the same, you will have a balance problem.

If they are NOT opposite each other...

...breake 2 more.

Oh dear :roll:
If you run that in an out of balance state then you are going to transmit that additional 'load
/force' to the bearings. It may not prove to be an issue in your ownership but it could. Crystal ball territory.

You might as well bite the bullet and get a new one.

while we are in crystal ball territory and going to break fins, any predictions on harmonics I e air raid siren type from pulses where fins are missing , or whapwhaps etc ?

 

[Raoul The Great]

Thanks everyone! I am going to buy a new one and be more careful when placing it. :roll:

 

[scoot4me]

Oh no I did the same thing . The piece I broke was smaller then a dime was just a corner of the fin . Did you find one ? If so where ? Do they make a tool for holding that or is that some thing I need to make myself ?

This sort of thing works and is cheap but you need to use it with respect and don't over tighten.

I ordered mine (the movable variator from Suzuki) at $116.00 canadian Dollars including taxes. As for keeping the variators from moving, I don't have the special tool, but i will try to just get my wife to use the torque wrench to tighten the variator nut while I hold the variator with something; besides what are wives for anyway :lol:

Guys,Looking for a DIY tool to remove the Variator




thanks John

Finally got my tool to work on both the variator and clutch.Now it can do both,loosen or tighten


IT dawn on me that someone here on the forum had a way of doing it.I did save the pictures

one question,should I had put Loc Tight on both nuts??


I did take it out for a spin,Oh My,brand new feel

Use an impact wrench (electric or pneumatic) and torque sticks, no holding tool needed...
