Roller Weights
« on: November 18, 2025, 10:24:56 PM »
Just picked up a 2006 xciting 500 and have all the service items to give the scooter a make over but does anyone know the specification of the original roller weights? Thinking of putting lighter ones in to improve initial acceleration.

Thanks.

   Just a word of advice from someone who has been there. Pull your scooter apart and physically check which rollers you have now. After that I suggest Dr. Pulley sliders either 1 or 1.5 grams lighter. Quite a noticeable difference low end performance in the 3 scooters I've had so far. No noticeable top end loss either. Cheap and fairly easy performance gain.

Good call Ruffus. I just realized and corrected my error. Grams not ounces!
