Compatibility

For the models in the applications table, where the years of the same model are grouped. Catalogue applications vary by year, version and engine code: check the model, year and engine code of your scooter before ordering.

When to replace them

Replace the sliders when they are worn, when the variator has play or makes noise, or when the rollers do not run smoothly. It is best to change them together with the variator rollers, because guides and rollers work together and wear together.

Fitting requires taking the variator apart and should be done by a qualified technician. Clean and degrease the guides and the plate, check the condition of the rollers and the belt and refit the variator to the manufacturer's tightening torques.
