I've been searching on this site and i see alot of you are using 4 to 4.5 rollers. is that the best weight to use? the racing kits i'm finding have 8.5 and 9 gram rollers. what is best?

Do you have a copy of the service manual yet?  It should give the specs.  Check under the service manual thread.

Stock rollers should be 8.5.With a pipe stock air 6.5 works well.after mods I'm running 7.0 any thing heavier without clutch tuning was no good for me might be able to go 7.5 with the next spring up running the white set now.I'm a little over 200lbs.Hope that helps.

im runnung 6 gram rollers right now. i had 7 gram rollers in there and i think i liked them better. everything is stock but the pipe on mine. i had the 7's in there til a few days ago when i put a new belt on. (im 200+ too!)

My pipe came with the 6.5s it was a good match till I kitted.That 3/8 hole in the air box and a #85 should put you at 50+mph.don't like the hole thats what duct tape is for Ha!Be sure to put it before the air filter.

..there's NO WAY i could attempt 6.5 rollers in this ppl with a k&n filter...

..it would spinn the rear tire and then go nowhere...

Ya I,m now runninig the 9g on my kitted bike and 8g on my stock build and think i can go back to stock 8.5g when i get the carb to work right for me

[wordslinger]

..i may go with 9 gram rollers instead of swapping out the drive face...

..hhmmm...

..i gots 3 sets of brand new 9 gr rollers...
