Title: IS there a reason to install Dr Pulleys if happy with stock set-up?
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on July 15, 2013, 09:39:30 PM

Hello, 1600 miles on the 3.5 month old LIKE 200i LX.
Scoot seems to be running quite well - plenty of pep when I need to do an escape turning in an intersection - pulls 250lbs of me nicely up hills.
I did do my first high speed run for 5 mins 2 days ago - had it up to 50mph - and decided that:
1) need a billiard table to do 50mph on
2) 50mph is 10mph over my personal limit
3) 60 mph attemps will be left to fellow forum writers (if I need 60 mph will go home & get in my 2013 Scion xB, put the A/C on and insert the Mumford & Sons CD)

So, my question is - I have a nice set of 13gr Dr Pulley sliders. Bearing in mind that I like the present reaction/performance of the scooter - will I gain something if I install the Dr Pulleys? Smoother ? Quieter ? What ?
The iridium plug made things better - the Amsoil scooter synthetic oil makes ME feel better (but highly doubt anyone can 'feel' a difference in their scooter's performance between various oils) will the Dr Pulleys do something nice, too?
Need you veteran LIKE riders to give me your thoughts.....as soon I probably will take a peek in the belt cover for the 1st time.

...........gotta stick a picture on here........look at the size of the lake this guy lives near!....

I'm from the school of "if it ain't broke...."
As long as you're happy with your ride that's all that matters.

All the best.

Be Big,
