Anyways, I want this thing to be more peppy yet, don't care a whole lot about my top speed of 38 on flat, that is good enough for city driving. Anything else I can do that is relatively cheap to increase acceleration?
Thanks Baka-san already made a good suggestion in June:
if your bike is stock, the stock belt and rollers are fine.iyou might fine some 9.5g rollers that are cheaper than the stock ones. 1.5grams total weight lighter will help in overall performance.
I would add that the weight changes need to be kept to small increments. It's easy to "overshoot" the ideal combination and hate it even more if the rollers are too light. I've never ridden an '85, but my stock '87 Aero had a bigger manifold and reeds and it was none-too rev-happy. If the Vario lets the engine gin up too many RPM, the torque and power suffer.

yup!! try the 9.5g rollers. as that new center spring breaks in from use and heat, it will get softer so going lighter on the rollers will help during riding as the trans gets hotter. remember heat will soften and break down the metal over time.
Nothing like getting stroked!

Thanks, I will try some 9.5g rollers when I get a chance. However, one thing is sticking in my mind. Above you said "1.5g total lighter weight". The stock ones are 10g and there is 6 rollers, wouldn't that be 3g lighter total?
yeah it is but you want to run lighter rollers anyways and the 3g drop from stock will be ok. your bike is stock so no need to worry to much on that. if you had a bunch of aftermarket parts like big bore ,exhaust ,carb...... then yeah the 1.5g total weight change is what should be done. the motor become more sensitive to changes when changing to aftermarket engine parts i listed. just changing the center spring wont have that much of a sensitive effects o the 3g drop will be ok.

My scooter is bad in the mid band again, I am guessing due to the 10g rollers that I replaced a few months ago already have flat spots. I'm thinking they must have been cheap, I think they were Prima from scooterworks. Anyways, I've been doing research and found that Daytona or Polini are just about the best you can get but I'm have trouble finding them in 9.5g weight as you recommended. I did find some Polini's in 8.4g, is that too much of a drop with the 1K contra? What would you guess the results to be? I haven't ordered anything yet.
I suggest you get the Polini 8.4s regardless. You can mix weights in pairs to test until you decide on the optimum total grams. Then search for a set that adds up to.your total.
The "right" load can be hard to predict. Repeated trial-and-error is often necessary.

Pretty pricey to do trial and error at $30 a set shipped. I will order the 8.4's and see how they do. On another note, anybody use the Dr Pulley slider weights? I am tempted since my new rollers with around 200 miles on them are already flat.

Buy cheap rollers for testing. When you find the combo you want, buy good rollers.

What is a good site for cheap ones? The cheapest I've found is around $20 shipped.
