No kevlar this time. I had broken 4 of them (they were lasting no longer than the standard), so the last time I put it together was with a standard belt.
Clutch springs are 2,000 as well as the power spring, the variator weights are 9gram.
I drive in the desert lots of sand, I also drive up and down asphalt roads. Torque in the desest is fine since that is low speed, Pulling up a grade on asphalt is poor because it doesn't have any torque at higher speed so that is where I'll be fine tuning the adjustments now that I am not replacing belts more often that I am filling the fuel tank.
