You scooter comes with 10g rollers I do believe. If you put heavier rollers in there you will not see a performance gain, on the contrary you will see a performance drop as you will "change gears" too early and will not have enough reving power to speed up.

Consider this. You start your car in 1st then skip to 3rd gear. You car grunts and slowly powers through the gear. Alright, imagine the same thing in your scooter - the difference is that your scooter can't power through the higher gear because the small engine doesn't produce enough torque.

Here's what you want to do:
take out your variator clean out all of the grease and take off the back plate(leave it off)
replace the rollers with LIGHTER ones. Perhaps 8 or 9g - this will be a guess and check process
If you have more money, buy a performance variator (the keli is a good deal)

The idea is that by staying in a "lower gear" longer the engine is able to rev up a little higher and produce high speeds.

In the future, please search the forum before asking a question as most of this information is already floating out there.

Greetings:

I suggest you start with 6 x 8.5 grams and experiment from there.

i don't have your kind of scooter, but there usually is a set for stock, i just don't know what it is, and i don't know for your scooter. it usually is lighter, by how much, i don't know. depends on the performance, i think, i don't know. a little lighter would give you more first gear, if that's what you want to know. but then your engine has to have power for second, and be able to get into it. and first gear is weak. it can pull but runs out of revs, quick. and second on stock variators, are usually weak, for these scooters. mine was i got a 94-01 elite.

The stock weight of your rollers is 6x10g - i believe

Clutch springs will not change top speed - but will only delay rpm in which clutch engages.

Wheelman's advise is spot on for gaining more speed with your specific engine - 8.5g rollers and experiment from there.

The only clutch is in the transmission and it will not change top speed, just take off. Stronger springs mean higher revs at take-off and faster starting acceleration.
