Best rollers for a stock bike?

Post by Dac »

my friend just picked up a 1998 elite today.
i cleaned the carb, made sure the reeds where good. its got good compression. all the typical stuff. It runs good, fires right up, great take off, tops out at about 35-36.

The take off is a little choppy, so im thinking the rollers have some flat spots.
I got allot of different roller weights. before i jump into it i was wondering, what rollers work the best for all of you?

I would think stock weight.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

i think the 9 g rollers are the stockers and they seemed to do pretty well. a good balance of top speed and aceleration

thats what I would try personally, slightly lighter is always best for stock to lightly modded.
projects galore :nerd:
