Well I put in the 7g Dr Pulley's today and it's not for the best. I still haven't weighed by stock but the loss in acceleration was drastic. stop speed is still near the same. Comparing weights by hand, the dr pulleys are a noticeable amount heavier than my stock. Does this make any sense?

Looks like that majority is pushing towards 7g sliders. Dr pulley the best way to go or anyone recommend something else?

Well at this point I'm mechanic'd out. I just wrapped up the big bore and its tuning in my living room last week. I just want to slap in some sliders and be done. I don't want to tinker to get another mph. Any gains are good gains since I'm already happy with the bikes performance. Just need to know what weight is most likely going to do the job. In your experienced opinions 7g? 9g? Or will any of these be better than the stock rollers I already have?

Well that makes sense. You think I will be safe just sticking 9g sliders in there? I'm going for better performance but dont care to the the most optimal size if I can skip the trial rollers. I'll do the trial rollers if I have to but prefer an educated guess of where I need to be. Also should I stick with Dr Pulley or are there other slider brands I should look at?

Thanks for the info. If I don't want want to spend a lot of time searching for the perfect size slider. I just want to throw something in that will be better than where I am now. What size is recommended if I'm already satisfied with the stock performance? I've read on what forum that Tao Tao stock 50cc rollers are 5.5g. I'm not sure how accurate that is

Thanks, that chart is very helpful. What I see though from this is top speed and acceleration are a trade off. I don't want to give up either but wouldn't mind noticeable gains to either. Does that mean that I'm already at where I need to be with the stock rollers?

Well they made a point to say they were fixing it as a favor because it was on a couple month old bike and they said the warranty doesn't cover it. and the fix probably lasted 3-4 weeks in reality. It seems to mess up every time I ride for about 50% of the ride. I know when its messing up because when I hit brakes, my blinker lights on my dash will both light up dim as well

9g/10g/11g is for a 50cc? Everything i read seemed to point more towards 6g/7g/8g

I have a year old Tao Tao 50cc and about half the time when the brakes are applied the 2 rear blinkers come on instead and the brake light. It seems the tail light cuts out completely when brakes are applied. Anyone have an idea on what's causing it or where to start? I had a shop fix it once and it came back week later

I recently did an 80cc big bore on a 50cc Tao Tao. Top speed is 42-46 mpg (gps) and acceleration is great too. Would I notice a change with rollers/sliders at this point? I dont want to sacrifice acceleration or top speed at this point but I'm open to gains on either. Main jet is #  with aftermarket intake. I'm 185lbs. |
