VARIATOR GUIDES ARE THE SPACERS BETWEEN YOUR VARIATOR PULLEY AND THE BACK PLATE. REGULAR SERVICE OF THESE GUIDES IS OFTEN OVERLOOKED AND MAY CAUSE EXCESS NOISE AND A LOSS OF PERFORMANCE AND ACCELERATION.
VARIATOR GUIDES ARE A FAIRLY INEXPENSIVE COMPONENT AND IT MAKES SENSE TO CHECK THEM WHEN REPLACING YOUR ROLLER OR SLIDER WEIGHTS. WE ALSO RECOMMEND CHECKING THE WEAR ON YOUR CLUTCH WHILE YOU'RE IN THERE, A FAULTY CLUTCH CAN BE DEVASTATING TO YOUR POCKET AND YOUR OTHER TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS.
