peugeot xp 400 tuning with CVT and road-test notes first
I am looking at peugeot xp 400 tuning because the scooter feels strong but not very crisp when loaded. Before buying a variator or exhaust, I want the CVT checked.
I found this related page while comparing notes: peugeot xp 400 tuning. I wanted a practical thread before ordering parts.
Would you inspect belt width, roller shape, variator ramps, clutch dust, bell glazing, air filter, plug, brake drag, tire pressure, battery voltage and a same-road pull?
