Title: Stock roller weights: How heavy?
Post by: jprestonian on July 29, 2010, 11:23:14 PM: Does anyone know the weight of the stock OEM Kymco rollers installed at the factory in the People 250?

I just put 20g Dr. Pulley sliders in mine (the heaviest I could find), and it's only been a day (and I'm on a new belt, too), but seem like I lost about 10mph top speed, and riding from 0-50, the acceleration is like being shot out of a cannon... so I suspect I need much heavier sliders to get approximately the same power band I had, previously.

..play with it, and get it really dialed in...

Post by: jprestonian on July 30, 2010, 01:28:28 AM: Well, I have to do all the work at the shop -- they have the tools, and a place to work, right? So, I'd rather just do it once, if I can. They have a severe backlog of scooters to get out, right now. I can certainly live with the 20g sliders for now, though -- for in town, they kick ass. I was hoping to make a road trip to the hometown (350 miles away) next month, which I may not do if my top speed's going to be 72mph. Or maybe I'll just take back roads. It'll take all day, but wtf? Am I really in a hurry? :lol:

..you could retain some of that rocket-ship acceleration and get your top end back too!!!

..however, it is FUN to zip around town....

;D

Post by: TechGuy on August 03, 2010, 12:14:29 AM: I added the DR Pulley Sliders and I can get my large butt well past 80 MPH indicated. I am using all factory parts outside of the rollers/sliders. I could not maintain anything above 80 indicated with my old factory sliders (they were worn wehn I took them out but not overly flatted. )

Post by: TechGuy on August 06, 2010, 12:02:25 AM: I bought mine used off ebay and I installed them wrong the first time. I will be replacing them... some time. Several retailers have them and most scooter shops can order then. Go kart and Quad website may also have them.
