Thread: Need help on CVT shimming.

    Need help on CVT shimming.

    I recently done a swap from my baker hill 6000 to the 7000. The 6000 moved faster than the 7000. Noticed that the same belt doesn't get as deep on the 7000 secondary.

    Can I swap my secondary?

    or

    Is there a way to shim the 7000 secondary?

    Thank you

    if the belt size is the same and the sheave width and diameter s the same it may be the spring tension on the secondary or flyweights on the primary that need correction. probably easiest to change the flyweights on the primary assuming its a 780

    would changing the flyweights make the belt clamp the belt higher on the pulley?

    Please show a picture of both convertors preferably with the belt on and off convertors, static.


    My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
    Joe Camel never does that.

    Advice is free, it's the application that costs.

    depends if the belt is the correct width.
