Yes, and size (1mm = almost nothing). They can still have different part nr. on the pulley but in real life it's the same product.

According to my source both bikes uses the same variator. Noice, fuel consumption, injection are things they talked about. That's why they use different size. Gonna find out.

Finlands sak är vår... Hello neighbour. How good are Dr. Pulley? Big in USA but in Europe? Reliable? Quality?

Cortez, how much do you want for it? Send me pm if you are selling it. Have heard many complains about Dr. Pulley. Belt snaps, worn out in notime.. are some of the things I have heard. Did you have any issues?

Frame construction, weldings, detail quality, how they install hoses and electrical.

Have tested Malossi, Polini and J.Costa in my Nexus. Dont want performance, just lower cruice speed and looking for someone who have tested +3g and KNOW how the bike acts.

I said ±3g on a 50cc are normal so why not on an 500cc? Both have 6 rollers and total 18g. Dr. Pulley are very different product and I am interested in how people think of 3g heavier rollers. Lower rpm on cruise etc. According to the German guy there are people who use 29x22mm. True or not, I don't know.

I'm gonna test it. They are only 1mm larger and 3g heavier. The extra wheight could be a positive thing at cruicing speed. Combined with open air filter, jet kit and full flow exhaust even better. ±3g are normal range of adjustments on a 50cc so why not on a 500cc? Don't think it make a huge difference. Anyone using 33g in an carb xc?

Read on an German site that it was possible. Gonna see if I can find it again.

Have not read all thread but I have owned and even imported chinese 125cc underbone myself. They don't have the detail quality as jap. or italian scooters but.. they are worth the money and their bad reputation comes from people/dealers who sells far more expensive bikes. If you want a small bike to drive to work or just for fun, they are ok. Have only positive things to say about them. My XC 500 are similar but better.. I can see they are similar in many ways but if you look closely you see it's not made in jap./italy. Have owned Aprilia Scarabeo 500 and Gilera Nexus 500. The Nexus was more sporty and fast, very fast. Kymco are more chinese but are so smooth. My other CH bikes where also smooth as silk. I love them and I can only recommend them if you want a simple reliable bike to get from a-b on.

...in a "standard" 500? Evo uses 29x22mm 33g and my 2007 carb. 28x22 30g.

Just a thought.

You are right. In an expensive tuned car or bike I would also use syn. In my case mineral API SL quality are just what I need. Low powered bike who most of the time sits in my garage. Up here in scandinavia the season is very short and due to other interests the bike doesent run so many km/year. It's not hot outside either.
