rollers

[blue]

is there a right and a wrong way to put rollers in mine have blue on one sode and silver on the other side is this for a reason.if so which way do they go in.

..when looking into the variator at the rollers...flipped around, from how it's installed in your scoot...

..place rollers into variator with the extra material on the 12 o'clock roller's left-hand side...repeat orientation for all other rollers.....

..that is the roller's "driven" side...

..the extra material, if there..(some rollers don't have a different side, and don't really matter when new)..is to reduce wear from the drivng force of the variator ramp sides...

ok I tryed 3 - 5.5 with 3 6 didnot like took my top end down. put all 6- 5.5 in and I now like
got my top end back.think ill stick with all 6 tha same it just sounds right also not to sure about the mixing things up.     ( find something you like stay with it.)

Yeah, wordslinger has talked me into it. With my 6 gram sliders I lost too much top, with my 7 gram rollers I have it back but a small loss on pickup. So I will try 3 6gram and 3 7gram rollers and if that works I will buy the 6.5 gram sliders.

[wordslinger]

..my leos didn't last as long as th malossis...

..just thot id say that...

..but then, i've ran it a bit harder with th' leos......

..nevermind............

I have 5, 6, 7 and 8.5 gram rollers to play with, without having to spend any money, but then I could put in some 6 gram dr. pulley sliders too. Just for fun..:-)

[wordslinger]

..i only have some 4.5, 4.7 (shot) and 5.5 rollers...

..but i have 6 "shells" (i drove the weights outta some 9 gr rollers i had), that i can put some of the weights from my tuning kit into..

..i change weights around every time i re-jet...just to see what happens...

my 5.5 keepd me climping hills at 35 to 40 and my top end is more like 45 to 50 on a day with little wind.
but with the wind to my back look out I need bigger spedometer. but it also helps if I keep extra air in the tires to keep my speed up.

[wordslinger]

..TIRES!!

..glad you said that blue...

..tire pressure makes a BIG difference..

..i keep mine checked every cpl of weeks...
