Along with sliders, your main spring (Behind your clutch) is in charge of when you scoot changes gears (Speeds in this case). Going with a stiffer main spring will allow your scoot to get to high and back down again quicker. We typically go with a 1500 main. You can also change out your arm springs on the clutch to delay engagement. Neither of these to things will effect your top end, only how quickly you get there. Slider weights act 1 to 1-1/2 grams lighter than a roller without loosing the top end as much. If you are running 14grams now, switching to a 14 slider won't be real noticeable. We have had some luck with alternating weights like jrryan mentioned. I did order 12g sliders and will see how it goes with them if I ever get them. I was thinking of machining down the boss 0.5-1mm, do you thing it will help for the top end or simply to go with a longer belt? DukeofYork |

Thank you Smorkle and zugzug
Now I have few more questions
My rollers look worn on one side and I have only 2000 miles on them, is that normal?
The variator was extremely packed with grease so I cleaned it out and greased it with just a tiny bit of graphite/teflon grease, did I do right?
On the inner pulley there are two oil seals on each side which kinda restrict the otherwise free sliding over the collar. If I get rid of the oil seals and completely clean the grease on the inside of the collar where the shaft slides in, and on the inside the pulley where the collar sliders in, is it going to be ok?
On the one of the sponsor's website I see the sliders but I do not see the four sliders for the cam. Can I use my stock cam sliders, and if yes can I use them without grease?
Where I can get the 13 gram sliders?
Thanks,
Dukeofyork

I decided I would go ahead and replace my rollers with sliders and now I need to determine the correct weights.
So, I have the so called "fake" VOG with Linhai engine, 14g rollers, and 856 belt. I am little heavier than I'd like to be (290lb) and the scooter is about 380-400lb.
I need to know, considering the info above what sliders to get so I can get quicker take off and climbing but not loose way too much top end. Should I go 14g sliders and being with sliders itself it will do just what I need it to do even though they are same weights (due to the sliders design) or should I go with 12g sliders for quick take-off and get longer belt (871) which in theory will compensate for the loss of top end.
Also what is best place to buy the sliders (money and time for delivery wise) and belt if needed
Thanks all

For some reason even after the scooter warms up if I take my finger off the hole and stick the enricher back on the scooter dies.It wont stay running for me to find an adjustmen.The enricher is working properly.A new carb is only 34.00 so I figure what the heck. Thanks for the responses.This site is a true value. Check my post about a manual choke conversion [/b][/center] |
