Calling Clive…….scooter guru!

Need your assistance Clive……..looking to get a new set of rollers and despite extensive internet searching it’s proving really difficult to get a definitive answer.

I’ve been trying to bottom out what the standard rollers are in my Kymco Xciting 500 (2006) so I can get a replacement set.

Any ideas where I might be able to get such information because I’m getting really hacked off with the various different answers?

Ta.

According to Kymco the standard rollers weigh 30.5g.....for all round riding just stick with standard weight rollers

Mmmmm that’s a shame as I’ve found some of the right size but 30.5g……….acceleration would be a bit better wouldn’t it?

[Clive]

Yeh...lighter weight, improved acceleration,  slight loss of top speed, and a reduction in kpl (mpg)

I sent a bit of a PM to you

Some scooter afficionados use a mixture of weights, 3 standard weights, and 3 lighter weights, results?  Some say it works, I have never tried it because I am too tight to buy 2 sets of rollers .

I have Pollini rollers in my GTS, not sure what weight they are though .

12.5g...13.5g....13.8g.......i think..........you could go lighter, it would be like riding a 2 stroke though.

Selling my two stroke @Clive, my wrist doesn't like the manual gear change.   I'll stick to the GTS but it doesn't have the lovely sound of the PX .

Yes a automatic never sounds as good manual, they just droan.........my German pal sold his old manual scoot for the same reason, the poor bugger now has to manage with his GTS and 2023 T Max 560.
