ADV 160 CVT

Has anyone played with their CVT? It used to be that European PCX had different weights to the Asian version. Stock Asian version has 19g weights.

I've upgraded my 150 cvt system here in Thailand. I use 12g and 10g rollers on a machined roller case to give full roller movement. I put carbon clutch pads and stringer springs inside a lightened machined housing to save wright while adding add5 grip for the clutch pads .
I weigh 92kg and those lighter rollers give quicker acceleration while still giving a top end of 116km, so hardly any loss at the top but quick low down which is more important for me . Hope this gives some ideas but don't go too light or it will rev madly but not get away . A little bit of trial and error is needed to fine tune the roller wright's to your weight.
