Dr Pulley 20x12 14GR

In this case do NOT apply oil. Reason is the Var, and clutch nuts are a specialty item. They are capture nuts meant for one time use. They are kind of squished oblong from the factory, and will gall the threads if installed dry.
You will be re-using them so the locking they do has been undone. Lok-Tite is really what you need. Blue, and not red.

Thanks again, Zombie. Really don't know what to do without you

It's all good for sure.

I have a friend that really cares about people, and he also knows how to make a buck (or six).

He has asked me a hundred times to join his "Lifestyle Design" site. The idea is anything you need you go there, and for a nominal fee someone there will help you accomplish almost anything.

It just wouldn't feel right for me, but it is tempting...

The site is not built yet so I have time... Maybe a 50/50 split of proceeds to some revolving charities type deal would ease the burden. 

Thinking out loud, again

Ok, it's time for me to update and ask

I got the 15.5g Dr. Pulley slider a while ago, but I have heard a transmission "tune-up" would restore some power and reduce rattling/shaking
So, in order to have a fair comparison between Dr. Pulley sliders and stock rollers, I decided to perform a tune-up today.

The so called "Tune-up" is very simple, just clean up the inner part of clutch (movable drive) face with some brake cleaner
and most important, to re-surface the glazed clutch shoe with sand paper to have better and smoother grip
The whole process is about 1 and 1/2 hour or so, not very difficult, I strongly recommend everyone to do this tune-up if you have appropriate tools.
Now the bike feels faster from 0 - 70 mph, the low rpm rattling/shaking is gone (or minimal) even at 3~4k rpm, and somehow quieter.

One question,
After I took out the drive face assembly out, seems like there's four holder keeping the ramp from moving and I just couldn't take the ramp plate apart

Any idea or suggestions?
I also upload all related photo to my dropbox, here's the link:

Will update after I put on those Dr. Pullry sliders

I'm not sure I understand the problem. What I do is install the drive boss into the front of tha Var, and use that to push out the ramp plate. They can be stiff but in reality they should just fall out.

Two things to look for here as well. The drive boss should spin free on the crank shaft w/ NO wobble or side clearance, and the same goes for the fit inside the var. There should be no wobble or side clearance.
If there is you have to replace the boss, and the var.

After you get the ramp out try turning it to a new alignment to get a free movement. If it still jams up you may have bent the aluminum guides from use. Again the var may need replacement or at least a bit of polishing up on those guides to give free movement.
I hope some of this helps...

So, I finally got a time to put on those 15.5g sliders.
Thanks Zombie, I used the way you mentioned, and it comes out easily.
I also checked as you mentioned, so far no wobble and side clearance
My detailed report can be find in another thread (post#38)

Hello! I am a new member of this forum and new owner of Downtown 300i.

Everyone here are speaking about Dr. Pulley sliding rollers, but you are all calling them sliders even sliders, as I understand,  are that 4 plastic pieces that are adviced to be installed with 8 Dr. Pulley sliding rollers.

My question is about this plastic sliders. I want to change them as well, but do I really need to put Dr. Pulley's sliders? Problem is that this four plastic pieces of Dr. Pulley are 22 euros, and I believe the price for genuine Kymco is much lower. Or, am I wrong? Will I lose something if I put or leave "ordinary" sliders?

You will need the 8 sliders. I prefer the 14gr as then you will gain 500 or so RPM under power take off. Once cruising at highway speeds the actual RPM is lowered over the stock rollers. With the 15GR you still will get slight increase in RPM under power and a much lower RPM at speed.

The 14GR seems to keep the best possible power band available at all times. Now these will never be a hot rod, nor a wheel stander, but I can attest the bike is much better ride with the sliders. it is much easier to also out accelerate local traffic as well. I have even found it better at rolling acceleration for those times you need to pass local traffic too.

at 12MPH I find the clutch disengages and allows the bike to roll without the engine slowing it down. I am always conscious of this as I watch to be sure it coasts unencumbered without an drag. The more freely it coasts without having drag the better the MPG and general performance of the bike. The biggest improvement I noticed with this is switching the gear oil to Royal Purple synthetic oil in the FD.

I was actually speaking about this:

But, as I asked my local dealer, people don't usually change this plastic sliders. Obviously they last very long. So I won't bother.

I have another question, but I will open a new topic for this, because I need answer soon.

From what I've read those are suppose to fit better than the OE ones reducing slop and noise

I never changed mine out. When I put in the sliders I left the stock ones in.
