Hey I was going to order polini variator kit for my af16e but noticed that
Ruckus polini number is 241.626
and Elite polini number is 241.480
any difference between them?

Re: Polini Variator (ruckus vs elite)
I'm just guessing here but the elite vari is about 89mm dimeter and ruckus vari is about 95mm diametermicbergsma wrote: ↑Fri Nov 20, 2020 12:58 am Hey I was going to order polini variator kit for my af16e but noticed that

You get a higher top speed with ruck vari as long as the motor is healthy and the gear ratio isn't inappropriate

Hey thanks for the answer!
I think I could go for ruckus variator since I will put 16x42 up gear in... the motor is stock only 2k miles ... just want to make sure that I can use stock variator face so I can use electric start?

Yes you can but if you use the ruck vari AND the ruck boss, you will have to shim out the kicker cover about a mm or so to clear the kicker engagement to stock drive face.micbergsma wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 8:53 pm Hey thanks for the answer!

Greetings:
There is also a bit of crankcase fat trimming needed around the starter housing to allow the inner Drive Face to clear. It becomes self-evident when you slip the parts on the crank and takes no more than an hour with a carbide bit on a Dremel or similar tool.
