FAQs
What is included with the Polini 241.672?
The kit includes the variator assembly and a set of 19x15.5 mm rollers weighing 6.3 grams.
Will this variator increase my top speed?
While the primary focus is on acceleration and throttle response, some riders notice a slight increase in top speed due to the more efficient transmission geometry.
Do I need special tools to install this?
Yes, a variator locking tool is highly recommended to hold the crankshaft steady while loosening or tightening the variator nut.
Can I use different roller weights?
Yes, you can experiment with different roller weights to further fine-tune your acceleration based on your specific engine modifications and riding weight.
How often should I check the rollers?
It is recommended to inspect the condition of the rollers every 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers to check for signs of flat-spotting.
Troubleshooting
Excessive vibration after installation
Ensure the variator nut is torqued to manufacturer specifications and that all rollers are seated correctly in their ramps.
Engine is over-revving
The included rollers may be too light for your current engine setup; consider testing with slightly heavier roller weights.
Variator does not sit flush on the crankshaft
Verify if your scooter has the older generation Piaggio engine and check if the variator plug needs minor adjustments for clearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic mechanical skills and standard workshop tools, including a variator locking tool. To install, remove the transmission cover, secure the crankshaft, and replace the OEM variator with the Polini unit.
Compatibility Note: This part is designed for specific scooter models using Piaggio-based engines. If you own an older generation engine, check the length of the variator plug; if it is too long, it may need to be trimmed or adjusted to fit correctly. To maintain optimal performance, inspect the rollers during your regular maintenance intervals for flat spots or uneven wear and clean the variator housing of any belt dust.
