I finally broke down and did some work on the Burgman yesterday. I had to get it up and running so I could do some long needed maintenance on my ST1100.
I changed the belt and coverted over to sliders and changed out the chubaka bearing. I still have the chubaka howl, but boy what a difference the sliders made.
I bought a separate faceplate and modified it last summer. I then put in new 20 gr Dr rollers. That was about 2500 miles ago. The rollers were pretty scarred up for that short of distance. I hope the sliders do better.
Anyway, It's nice actually having two gears (or so it seems)! Between the new belt and 20gr sliders I'm sitting about 1K lower rpms at 70 mph. Very Interesting!
Just thought I'd share!
If the Burgman variator eating these is still an issue, has anybody had any luck changing out the variator all together?
