What is the function of motorcycle variator weights?

[JosieLee]

Lighter weights provide a stronger acceleration feeling at startup, while heavier weights enhance the top-speed acceleration. More details are as follows: Light weights: If you want your motorcycle to accelerate faster and have more power at startup, replace them with slightly lighter weights. Heavy weights: If you want to increase the top speed, replace them with slightly heavier weights. Variator weights: One of the rotating components in a scooter, the variator weights (also called sliding weights, capable of radial movement) are influenced by the engine speed. As the speed gradually increases, the weights experience outward centrifugal force, overcoming the tension of the main spring, and move radially outward along the sliding groove. This increases the force squeezing the axially moving driven plate, enlarges the working radius, and reduces the diameter of the driven plate, thereby altering the gear ratio. The increased force squeezing the axially moving driven plate results in a reduced diameter of the driven plate.
