And what the heck does it do??? Just make it harder for the rear pulley to open up?
And whats with the little torque spring ball bearing kit Ive seen? Is that sleeve/grease seal piece it rides in subject to wear? Is it something that could take a little grease? It doesn't look like it would get on the drive face if any excess slung outwards...
If the torque sheave will indeed get me "more torque", I think I'd get one if its not gonna create more stress. I've already paid the price once for trying to upgrade stock parts...!!! I definitely love what the torque spring did for me, making the scooter lurch a little when you goose it at low speed... aside from the better hill climbing of course.

The torque sheave ramps are more aggressively angled therefor allowing the bike to snap through its "gear" range at a different rate than stock. As for the ball bearing torque spring base, it just removes a point of friction in the system, since the torque spring rotates and binds/slips on a stock scoot. You will feel this as a rhythmic vibration at certain speeds. Will also bump up spring pressure a bit due to the spring being compressed a little more. The reduced friction could theoretically increase top speed potential.

I did get a little vibration once I started upgrading the torque spring... its not too bad and sounds very harmonic, and only happens between 29-31 mph... A quick search found me a malossi product that does the same thing with a slick plastic-y looking insulator. The thought of all those bearings inside there made me nervous anyway.... lol
