Cheaper on the assembly line, more expensive at the parts counter, its a win win for the manufacturer.

Tire height is a big deal too, with 15 inch tall tires 6:1 and a CVT would work great, 22" tires and it wont move if you try to start on a hill with 6:1.

A good turbo-encabulator produces twice the gains that POS will.

Some OHV engine tend to blow out between the push rod cavity and bore, unless it uses torque to yield bolts (usually only seen in automotive stuff) you can reuse the bolts.

Keep in mind most gears on a bike are overdrive gears, so a lot of reduction will be needed before you apply power to the bikes crank.

Don't forget the parrallels and 123 blocks! As for the collet, you will have to figure out the taper.

Weight, properly designed, a glass over foam unibody would be WAY lighter than a steel chassis.

You will need a couple of clamping sets, collet set, wrenches for the collet clamp, various cutters, a dial indicator or two, an edge finder(wriggler), a chuck that fits your collet taper(for edge finder and dial indicator), cuting fluid and some other stuff I'm forgetting. Just don't go and do...

How much rubber do you wish to fit?

If you run 2 shafts you can use nothing but standard clutches and sprockets besides the one way.

You only have 3 screws, idle stop, idle mix (screw up high) and high speed mix(screw on bottom).

Brakes are one of those things you deal with BEFORE anything else. Mans greatest achievement is landing, not flying.

Do the math? Need to know tire height too. Calculated top speed is the ABSOLUTE max, if the kart is too heavy or presents too much wind resistance for the engine the CVT will never hit OD.
