    Hello, I changed the rollers and the belt on my AK550.Put everything back I mean untill the variator nut started the engine and the variator nut and variator comes out, even the belt.Put everything back and the scooter doesn’t start, or if in the final starts it sounds a metalic sound from the transmission place.Do you think I didn’t put the belt in place correctly?I didn’t pressed the clutch back with those 2 bolts when I put the belt back in.

      Hello again, I have one more issue with the scoot if you could give me an opinion about it.When I run it, after some brakes the parking red light turns on, if I lean it left or right it disappears and after a ehile comes again on dashboard.The rear brake pads and disk are new, the fluid in reservoirs is new and enough.Do you think it could be the parking brake not adjusted correctly from the cable?Because if I engaged it and accelerate the scoot goes forward. I can go the dealer, but maybe I can fix it if I have an opinion from someone. I didn’t find anything specific on google about this isuue. Thank you.

    I would think that you should invest in a dial caliper to measure and record the dimensions of the axle tension blocks. I think that if you had measurements accurate to the thousandth of an inch and then repeat those measurements when you reassemble the rear wheel. That black mark could leave you anywhere in that marker space.

    I just bought that exact bike. I’m finding the throttle to be extremely twitchy! Even in rain mode it’s like an on/off switch! Is your bike that way? Or even more so, was it that way new and finally got broken in after time? I kid you not, my 2022 AK550 is crazy to ride. I let off the throttle and I don’t even have to pull the brakes. It’ll almost come to a full stop with out me braking. Is your bike these two ways? If not, I need to know so I can head back to the dealer. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Twitchy throttle and a major loss of speed when letting go of the throttle. 🤙

      I've been riding this bike so long I can't say for certain but it does sound normal to me. When you let off throttle it does decelerate pretty good. The throttle is twitchy because of the Cvt, give it a few weeks to get used to it. No friction zone like with a clutch 👌

    Very good description of the install. My dealer installed the official Battery Tender pigtail on my AK 550. Those usually have 18 ga wire and are good for up to 7.5-10 amps. But I wanted to use mine for also running my Slime mini compressor which requires 15 amps minimum. It is NEVER a good idea to simply replace the fuse with a bigger fuse unless the wire is big enough to handle more current. I replaced the official BT pigtail with one that has 16 ga wire which is good for up to 20 amps max. It is also a few inches longer than the official pigtail. I can now pump up my tires on the road. I also bought a battery clips to SAE cable and a 3 ft SAE to SAE extension cable with a removable gender changer adapter to be able to assist other mc riders while traveling. The battery clips to SAE cable is for those who don't have a BT pigtail installed. All of these are very small so I carry them any time I travel cross country.
