FAQs
Are these rollers compatible with all scooters?
No, they are specifically 16x13 in size. You must verify your scooter's variator size before purchasing.
What is the primary benefit of 6.3g rollers?
They are generally lighter than stock, providing quicker acceleration and faster engine response.
Do I need to replace my variator when installing these?
Not necessarily, but you should inspect the variator for damage or excessive wear before installing new rollers.
How often should I inspect these rollers?
It is best practice to inspect them every 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers, or if you notice a degradation in acceleration.
Can I mix these with different weight rollers?
It is not recommended, as it can cause imbalanced wear and inconsistent transmission performance.
Troubleshooting
Engine is over-revving and losing top speed
The 6.3g rollers may be too light for your specific engine setup; consider a slightly heavier weight to lower RPMs.
Uneven wear on rollers after short usage
Ensure the variator housing ramps are free of burrs and that the rollers were installed in the correct direction relative to the variator rotation.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure your variator assembly uses the 16x13 size specification. When installing, it is highly recommended to apply a very thin layer of high-temperature variator grease to the roller paths to extend the life of both the rollers and the variator housing. Always inspect the variator ramps for scoring or grooving before installing new rollers; damaged ramps will cause uneven wear on the new set. If you are tuning, keep in mind that changing roller weights often requires re-evaluating your contra spring tension to maintain optimal performance.
