In the old forum there used to be a sticky thread about different weight rollers/sliders and the results. I'm interested in getting a variator set, but I don't really know where to start with the weights. The set I'm looking at has 12g weights with a 1000k spring, and that seems a little heavy to me.

I'm none too familiar with 150cc weights, but that does seem heavy UNLESS you have a performance variator which is lighter than stock. You're also the first person I've heard of getting a 1000rpm spring, if that's the torque spring and you don't live near any hills then that's a fine setup. I mostly chimed in to say nice Rise Against quote in your sig  |

It seems most of new scooters have it in the 12g range, I guess with their 12-13inch rims. 10in donut 150cc scoots tend to have the heavier 17g as stock. My 10in 150cc did have 17, and I have since changed it to 14g sliders. |

Repeating people's opinion in previous posts & forum, BEFORE you start buying all kinds of parts, the ideal thing is to: 1. Measure the weight of your current rollers. 2. Measure the weight of your main-variator assembly. 3. Measure the weight of your variator face plate. Then, once you decide the weights you want to buy based on your existing setup, change only one setup at a time to test the difference. If you change the variator, face plate, rollers/sliders, clutch springs, and belt all at once ... Well, if it bogs down to a worst setup or if it improves, you have no idea what contributed it. Lastly, never buy roller weights based on someone else's setup. You can use other's setup as "experience" to decide the weight difference you want, but you better know the weights of your existing transmission parts, otherwise is a complete shot in the dark. If you don't know, start measuring to get a baseline. |
