Hi everyone, I have a Suzuki Burgman 400 2004. I plan to replace the CVT belt and variator roller weights. So far, I am looking at the Malossi 18g and 21g roller weights from Scooterwest.com. My riding is 65% in town and 35% on freeways. Which one would be better for reliability and MPG? Thanks

Slight variation from stock shouldn't hurt reliability at all, especially with quality rollers. I'd just go a little lighter than stock since you do mostly in-town.

Well it would help if you knew what weight yours came with as a base . Since worn if you weigh them they will weigh less than when new . If you have the extra cash get both . You can try one then the other plus have the option to mix them up half 18g and half 21g to equal 19.5g .
I prefer sliders over rollers since they perform better , last longer and do not make that rattle sound as much as rollers . I use Dr Pulley sliders in both of my scoots . I would grease the clutch shaft too while it is apart .

Interesting. How exactly do you grease the clutch shaft?

You have to remove the rear pulley and remove the clutch from the torque sheave, it's held on by a huge nut. I don't know how yours specifically comes apart, but once you separate some pieces you will find the sliding torque sheave. Its a few notches with some pins in it that slide/twist as the pulley halves open. It actually has nothing to do with the clutch, it's just common to call the entire rear pulley assembly the 'clutch' or 'clutch pulley'.
Only lube (use high temp grease) the slot/pins in the area inside the grease seal. You should see two thin 0-rings inside the piece you remove to expose the sliding sheave.
If the sheave gets dry/sticky enough to not open, you will be stuck in low gear.
Absolutely nothing associated with the actual clutch needs lubrication.
