Its either the scoot or the bus so scoot wins always. I'd sooner try ride to work at 5-10mph than get the bus. I'd prob still beat the bus there too, public transport sucks and the salt they throw down for the ice was no good for the chrome on the beetle.

Got a Mazda too but the wife uses that Wed-Fri.

My A50 is my work-horse and my friend, he gets upset if i leave him home alone. Think i only missed about 2 weeks all in last yr and one of those was because i was off sick for a week (Snowboarding  :D ).

I just read a article on another forum (Can't remember which one) that said rollers go in a certain way. One side has more material on the side and this side doesen't wear as fast. Anyone else hear about this?

..if you're looking at your variator...in the direction that you're installing the rollers, if a roller has more material on one "side", then the heavy material side should be to the left side of the roller, if the roller is being placed in the "top" roller ramp......


..get it?..


  ;D

..some rollers, and sliders do not have that extra material, and are equal, like the Malossi rollers...in this case i always put the printed side of the roller to the right, so that the writing remains on the roller longer...

Yeah, like Word said, some do some dont. If both ends look the same then they can go in either way.

By those figures i reckon using % i can use 4.5g sliders then? I may end up ordering a set of 5g 1st to try out when i got spare cash next.

Fshfndr, i would expect you are fine, my scoot is tuned and modded so runs a lot higher rpm than stock so will wear down parts much quicker than if it was stock, as i guess your is.

When the rollers go flat you will gradually notice a slowing of acceleration, responsiveness and even top speed too over weeks or months. When i got my scoot it was 3yrs old and 100% stock and still restricted, the previous owner was a woman who had it serviced once a yr at a dealers. It was due a service when i got it but when i did it the rollers where still fine even tho it had been a full year since a service.

If it runs good as it ways has then dont worry, you prob got plenty of life in them yet.


...........and Word posts as im typing all of the above and beats me to it. Lol  :D

Word & Striedo, thanks for the info.
