Peugeot Vogue Variator test ride

I got out today on the Vogue for the first time since fitting the variator. Its a bit boggy at the low end but after that it goes pretty well and the variator really increased the top speed. So I can still get up hills like with the stock single speed but able to go faster on the flat. Top speed on the flat so far 31mph
 
 
 

Heres a video of the variator variating.

Peugeot Vogue engine spring

Since I converted the Vogue to a variable transmission I noticed that the engine spring was too stiff which was preventing it from variating. So I ordered a stock spring for a variated Vogue. It turned up yesterday

Peugeot Vogue fuel leak

Last night I was messing with the variator on the Vogue and when I started up the bike it started leaking fuel from the petcock. I drained the fuel and unscrewed it from the tank. Looks like its internals were shot causing it to leak. So I measured the thread and now just need to order a new one.
