Title: Stock roller weight and battery question
Post by: frmtexas on September 14, 2010, 10:17:32 AM
I don't see the stock roller weight in my docs. I have an '03 2-stroke. Thanks. I'm also getting word that it's not a good idea to use a 5 amp battery if the specs indicate 4 amps. Any opinions on that?

A or Ah?

It looks like the shop put in an AH battery (YTX5L-BS... KYMCO KY D410) and that's what's called for in the manual (12V4AH). What's the difference between A and AH? Plus, it looks like the shop only thinks it put in a 5 amp battery. The web seems to indicate that YTX5L-BS is 4AH.

A is Amper, electrical current.
Ah is Amper-hour.

4 Ah means that accu should provide 4 A of electric current for 1 hour or, alternatively, 1 A for 4 hours.

I think that there is no big difference between 4 and 5 Ah and they can both be used.
Of course, you could not charge 40 Ah battery in a circuit dimensioned for 4 Ah. :)

  The stock people rollers are 8.5g. If doing a veriator change the 7.5 worked best for me.

I also thought the stock rollers in my people s50 4t were 8.5 gr., but they are actually some 7.0 gr. Found out after buying some new 7.0 gr to improve acceleration. Installed them to find out no change. Weighed the old ones:7.0 grams.... Just got some 6.0 grams. Will install them shortly.
