de dee, what were the original weight for the original rollers?

Dr.Pulley recommends going up or down on those weights?
  the original Wt. is 15 1/2 grams   rollers,   use 14 gram if you like fast take off,.  15 or 16 if you like lower RPM at 100 Kmh

You cannot lube the red one, the red one is next to the nut that holds the clutch assy on. You are NOT dumb! Questions are for when you do not know something. Old guys like most of us here are for giving you all the wrong answers! Har, har! Back to reality, your other excellent picture of the roller bearing (last picture page one) is the one you want to lube. A small dab on the tip of a finger that will fit inside the bearing. A little bigger than a Hershey's mini choclate candy kiss. Go buy four pounds of those, take one for a pattern, send the rest here! That does it!

24 mm wide is OK but too long. De dee says he gets 24.5 mm wide 1004 mm long and that's what I got for a DT replacement.

So if I get the same weight for Dr.Pulley. I should get both benefits.

  yes 14 1/2 gram should give you both benefits,  it is a very light benefit so don't expect turbo benefits,

So nice when you help us unexperienced here, so you do not have to leave the scooter to the workshop every time ! Then it feels safer if anything happens on the way.
Thank you Karl for making it crystal clear 👌
Im also a bit confused about the grease between the the two roller bearings, should it be grease there?(as seen on the last picture, page one)The surface that have contacts with the spline (driveshaft?) On the opposite side (variator) there is none grease on the splines.
Take care // Niklas

My personal preference on splines is a Permatex product called antiseize. It is a high temperature silver-like grease that prevents things corroding/rusting being "locked" together. Must be used sparingly: a little dab will do ya!

Nice to read that! :)


You could keep the belt till it is down to 22 MM.,  and it slips all the time, Mitsuboshi size is 1004/25.5  30 degrees,
but I never got one bigger than 24.5 wide, with 6 belts bought,. I have 3 new in stock and bike not running
Kat :)
