13. CVT SYSTEM
13- 1
WARNING
The CVT system rotates at high speeds. Creating large amounts of
force on clutch components.
Do not modify any components of the CVT system. Any modification will
damage the system; cause the system to be out of balance,
The CVT housing must be securely in place during operation,
Failure to comply with this warning can result in severe injury or
death.
Low Range Use May Reduce CVT Operating Temperatures
The basic operation of the CVT system is dependent on engine speed
and vehicle torque requirements. As engine speed increased, the force
exerted on the movable drive sheave by the fly-weights also increases.
This, in turn, increases the amount of “pinch” applied to the drive belt.
Similarly, if the engine speed decrease, the amount of centrifugal; force
decreases, reducing the amount of belt “pinch”.
