Variator

Post by Mike1nw »

2009 Buddy 125
I just cleaned out the variator etc. after 1,000 miles elapsed since last time 3 years ago.
It was pretty clean! 🙂

Is the variator made of steel? If so, wish my Burgman 400 variator was steel, might last longer.

This Buddy is simple and easy to wrench on 🙂

The variator is aluminum! In the event of a high-stress situation, the transmission parts are designed to fail before the steel engine crankshaft fails.
