Here's something that scooter owners in my country are putting into their GY6 machines.
This little wonder will decrease vibration and stabilize transmission operation at any RPM and temperature. During the automatic CVT power curve, the bushing of the torque driver makes a small rotation, giving torsion to the contrasting spring. Sometimes the spring will bind (because it is metal on metal) or remain stuck in its position causing some un-wanted forces (jerking and/or bucking). Also, the centrifugal forces caused at high rpm causes the spring to buckle and veer, which can create a big vibration, very annoying for the driver as well as harmful to the engine and, above all, making for an unsteady power curve and loss of power.
Malossi is selling a similar item, minus the ball bearings, in contrast to this item. And although the item pictured above is supposed to be used for a Honda DIO engine, it would fit any GY6 engine like a glove with no problem at all. To install, you have to remove the spring guide of your torque driver sheave. You may also have to install heavier roller weights to compensate the spring tension once the torsion controller is in place.
