Rollers weights

[sissy mary]

Anyone know where we could get 31 gram 28x22 rollers for the X500? Mine is a carbed 2007 where the stock weight is 30 grams. The fuel injected X500's are 33 gram's, I think this would be to heavy for the carbed models? Dr Pulley had 31 gram sliding rollers but pulled them from the market, (because, I think, to many people were having issues/shreaded belts) with them installed, including ME! Also, anyone found another source for stock size/weight rollers other than from Kymco? Their prices on rollers have gone through the roof!

Let me re-fraze the question. Has anyone bought rollers other than from a Kymco dealer? If so maybe they know of or can get other brands?

You could take a stock set of 33g and ream the metal down to 31g. I have not done this but have heard of it many times.

Hey, thanks. I never thought of that. I am going to have the valves adjusted, (it's been going on 40,000 miles with no adjustment). And go up 2 sizes on the main jet, (I have a Leo Vince and it pops on de-celeration). And put in a K&N style air filter and see how it performs/MPG and such. And if I am not happy with that, then I may do what you suggested? Strange or funny that know one seems to make the size & weight of the X500 rollers in the after market arena? Thanks again.

No problem. I think I read of this being done on GY6 engines in the Philippines some years back. My '09 is currently partly stripped. I am building a trunk support with rods coming off the upper shock mounts (copied from GIVI) and a custom exhaust built from a 1200 Harley Sportster muffler (which comes with 2). It is about 40% lighter, smaller and will flow better with a little more sound. I rigged it up to check it before starting the process. the only hold up is finding a short tube of the correct inside dia to clamp over the stock head pipe. i don't want to cut up my stock exhaust. I've been riding the wife's Burgie 400 and miss Xciting now that we are starting to get good weather..
