Welcome. A 39t sprocket, lighter rollers in the variator, and a stiffer main spring will make a big difference.

thanks, been looking at a few options. What would be the best route to give the buggy a smoother(lower rpm) take off with better climbing ability...a little less top end is o.k. as about all we have near the house is hilly to very steep.
All i have is the knowledge of how my 4 wheeler performs...the buggy is very different to me (better..more fun to drive hard without flipping and worse...no 5 speeds and 4wd to choose from).I have read alot here and at various vendors about different mods...just kinda confused about it now...like i said, would really like to see it take off at lower rpms and not bog down with belt slippage on the steeper hills...is this possible? Anyway,glad to be here!-mike

See my previous post in this thread. That is your answer for more hill climbing power. A UNI air filter and carb re-jet is also a great mod to get more out of the engine. They are all cheap mods with good gains and easy to do.

Ya I'd go for the sprocket change. You can mod the variator but that will also up your launch RPM.

Your take-off rpm is regulated by the stiffness of the clutch arm springs that allow the clutch to engage. Most come stock with 1000rpm springs which is about as low as you can go. Any lower and it would bog the motor down. I run 1500rpm springs on my son's 150 to give it a stronger take off due to the type of riding we do. (lot's of big hills) It may rev higher but it means more power to the wheels to get you going when the clutch locks up.

Welcome to your new addiction. The cvt is a bit differant than a geared transmission, but performs great when tunned. Your manual will tell you the buggy is set up for no more than a 20 deg. grade and I have noticed on many new buggies it has changed to 15deg. grade. You will have to tune the cvt to change the shifting points. If you are getting high revs on steep hills with the stock setup, your clutch is probably slipping. I agree that with your terrain a larger sprocket is needed, but you will also need to tune the cvt as well. Feel free to give me a call with any questions you may have on the cvt system. Its really a simple setup but will need tunning.
Tom
