Hello All, I have the typical Chinese scooter (TPGS-810 AKA "B09-R") that has a 139QMB with a 85cc BBK. I am pretty happy with its performance so far although I have some extra cash I would like to put into it and see how fast I can get it. I am really looking for some advice as to the controversy between sliders that some people swear by and just regular rollers. And also possibly a Performance variator I have seen posted on this site from ebay ( www.ebay.com/itm/50cc-HIGH-PERFORMANCE-VARIATOR-COMPLETE-SET-FOR-SCOOTERS-WITH-GY6-QMB139-MOTORS/171041229213?). I have seen some people say that the performance variator got them 7mph and some say that its just not possible. Any help would be appreciated with this decision. Also some background, on flat ground I can do around ~43mph and it has pretty good acceleration off the line so I may lower the weights. Thanks, Ronan |

Dr. Pulley slider weights ftw  My stock weights are 6.5g and with 4g and 9g sliders I achieve a 6.5 weight of sliders (which is equal to 5.5g rollers) and my takeoff, acceleration, and topend are all higher than before. So even though I technically decreased my weight I'm getting better topend and better acceleration just from switching to slider weights. I have no idea about the performance variator, but I hear it allows your belt to climb higher which gives you more topend. We'll wait for an expert to chime in on that subject. |

Man that's great I have been looking around and I am hearing nothing but good things about the Dr.Pulley sliders. The only thing is the price is a little steep. Do you suggest only going with that brand?

[replyingto=ronank]Ronan[/replyingto]I'm sure there are some quality look-alike brands out there that are probably a little cheaper, but from my experience the dr. pulleys are totally worth the money. Their shape is patented goodness. Their coated with a sleak and slippery non-stick shell. They're spot on in their weight. And you know that you're going with the best you can probably get. You can try getting yourself a variator weight tuning kit to save you the trouble of buying multiple packs of dr. pulley weights. www.scooterworks.com/prima-roller-weight-tuning-kit--3g-to-14g--16x13-products-1935.php#.UaaURU1jjcc This way you can find your sweetspot and just buy that weight of sliders. Best of luck to ya! Edit: Keeping in mind that the difference between sliders and rollers is roughly one gram. So 6g rollers would equal 7g sliders, etc. |

I will probably go with the Dr.Pulley sliders as I know what weight I should be getting already. |

i love my koso too i run it with dr pulley sliders Thanks for the replies, nice to know it lowers RPM's, mine are a little high. I happened to notice that in your picture you also seem to have a B09-R. Its good to know somebody else on the forum has one because its not a very common model. |

From my experience, the sliders seemed to hold whatever speed I wanted better. I had my sliders for a tad over a year(estimate 5-6,000km at the most), and they were pretty jacked up looking.
