Re: f***ing five plate?

3.5mm is standard 4 plate thickness(14mm for 4 plates)to fit 5 standard surflex plates,ie the ones used in 4 plate clutches you'll need an extended spider,and an extended clutch bell.
I'm using a scootrs spider with a 5 plate crownwheel,and a mb bell. Doesn't foul on anything.

Re: Varitronic - alternatives

i run varitronic on 1 scoot,and lightened indian flywheel,with bgm stator,and augusto unit. Never had a problem with either,but prefer heavier flywheel for rally use,as varitronic flywheeled scoot loses power on hills easier.

Re: Timing?

18 degrees,if you haven't got a strobe just retard stator,ie turn it clockwise as far as you can...
then buy a strobe gun to check it properly.

Re: Splash Guard...........Yes or No

they're designed to stop the exhaust rusting,or at least slow it down,so yes for me everytime.
unless you're using a stainless expansion
