Isnt your bike new? If so, why the slider weights? Im old school.....if it aint broke, dont mess with it until it is broke.
-
yes it's a 2011 7654.0 on it just don't like rollers rather have sliders.understand the old skool but sometimes not being broke isn't perfect
-
Curious as to why you chose the 15 gm over 14 gm ?.
Thinking about changing mine too when it is time to replace belt.
Cannot decide which weight.
-
Since I am not a scooter expert I guess I'll need to research the difference between rollers and sliders and the pros and cons of each. Let me know how it goes....

Dr. Pulley Sliders are a different style of roller and can be used with your stock variator. The unique shape offers a variety of benefits:
Sliders engage up to 20% faster than traditional rollers. They allow you to engage in higher gear ratios.
Sliders last longer with much less wear than rollers because they slide rather than roll (hence the name!). Rollers and sliders should be inspected annually (at minimum) for wear. Rollers are especially prone to developing flat spots that inhibit their ability to move smoothly. If this occurs, they should be replaced. This is one advantage of sliders, as they already have flat sides and are not affected by this wear as much as rollers.

Reason for choosing 15 over 14 ?.

15 or 14 gram sliders,. 14 gram will allow higher rpm. at lower speed ,. 15 gram should be about the same as original rollers, at lower rpm. at higher speed you should have lower rpm. I have not seen that much difference. over all,. I have about 15,000 km. on my sliders and I dont see any sign of wear,

The larger weight size will add top end only when you are doing other upgrades to make up for loss of bottom or take off.
The same is true for lighter weights, if you go too light you will need to make up for the loss on the top end.
yes the 15 g gives me a lower rpm at higher speeds i do alot of club riding we ride long distance i usually ride 400 miles every sunday avg speed 75mph
-
ok added the larger weights less rpm on the top side did not loose anything on the bottom still just as quick as it was before i've had others tell me the DT 300 to them has a quick start.i' have turned some heads on some Burgmans they didn't thing the DT was fast im loving it im 5"11 305 and surprisingly it's very quick

Which sliders are used for the DT 300i abs? Would my local scooter workshop know how to replace the rollers with these?
-
Does anybody know where in Australia I can purchase these? Thanks

if your under warranty.im not sure the warranty in your service shop will change them to weights dunno my scoot is out of warranty so i did them myself.there are video's on how to change them.there not that difficult to do.but i will warn you if your a little hesitant to do it find someone to do it.you have to make sure you torque everything back down to specs..i had a burgman 400 that's where i learned to do it.it was trial and error for me and trail was ok but the error's i made hit my wallet pretty hard.but after doing it several times ive also saved myself $$$$$$$$$'s to.it depends on the repair or service shops but they can be very costly to.Good luck

The only difference with downtowns seems to be age ,. so when you order your sliders tell them the age of scooter, he older ones were 6 sliders it seems, and the new ones for north america have 8 sliders, and in the US we do not have ABS,.
