DT 300I 15.4 or .5 gm .. I know this because I weighed them!i have downtown 350
350i 13.0 gm .. I will wait for Ruffus' confirmation!
You are entirely encouraged to experiment all you want because that is the nature of hot-rodding in most of England, USA and Australia to name three. Cosworth of England to name just one, the great Cosworth-Ford soup-ups that went into the Lotus-America thing I drove ONCE in about '63 and scared the ***P outta me! USA full of hot-rodders like Edelbrock, Hedmann, Mickey Thompson, Iskenderian who are a few who made business of manufacturing "speed goodies" for us greasers to spend money!
Burt Munroe from either Australia or New Zealand, the reclusive genius who cast his own pistons by carefully sculpting the female form in the ground near his shop!
You may be next!

As written before: too light!https://ibb.co/g4WJnRm original oem parts 13 gram!
Weights are originally 15,4g 20x12 mm.
If you go to 9gr, you get a wailer unheard.
This hole is supposed to be an indicatorto replace the oil seal is must to open the transmission bolts from inside?
(by showing a drop ore more) that your rear axle/transmisson oilseal is worn out.
Means wheel off and renew. Axlebearings in your swingarm are to be checked too and if neccessary, changed.
9 gram? For a DT300i ? Should bee 15.5 gram for standard. 9 too light. Here is what you can get on ebay:i have downtown 350i and i saw in kymco website that original rollers are 13 gram but i want more acceleration

@Yoni159 welcome here!so how to tighten the bolts without tourqe wrench? 35nm is really tight?
On rotors and breakcaliper bolts its adviseable to use blue @Loctite because of vibrations on this items.
Torque wrench not necessarely if you have some experience with tools.
Honest answer? I'm out of my comfort zone now. Presumably it couldn't hurt to check both, but hopefully someone more skilled than I (Crossbolt? Ruffus?) will pitch in and advise.someone here was right i checked it very good and its front wheel bearing. I glad it is because its cheaper to replace. Something strange is i replaced them 2 years ago
Which part in need to tighten?the lower or the upper?

A quote from someone who appears to know more than me:Which part in need to tighten?
“ They could just be loose. If you don't get them tightened up, they WILL wear out quickly since they are getting hammered over every bump.
If you elevate the front end and tighten the bearings like the shop manual says, the bars will "index" if the races are shot. What I mean is the bars will turn about 10 degrees and stop, require more effort, then stop again so your steering feels notchy. This will eventually affect handling in a very bad way.
I would see if they behave after tightening. If they don't, I'd replace them in a heartbeat.”
My advice? Take the bus until you can afford the repair.
Looks like front wheel bearings are missing some balls....its not from the wheel.
