    How do i go about doing this please ? i have done a bit of trawling and think it would mean changing rollers from stock to lighter ones , if this is correct how do i find out weight of current rollers and how much lighter would new ones need to beo_O only started on 2 wheels back in jan of this year and at nearly 50 i'm a bit of a scooter dummy:rolleyes: so be gentle please any advice greatly appreciated

    Thanks

    find out what wieght is fitted standard, then drop down a gram,
    its a bit hit and miss with rollers..
    ps dont worry about age, i'm 51 and i dont think i'm the oldest here, we all start somewhere.:)

    Oi! I'm 51 as well, there's more of us old 'uns on here than you think...

    Lighter rollers allow the engine to spin up a little faster before the pulleys engage the clutch, increasing the acceleration a bit. If you tell us what bike you have we can maybe advise what weight of rollers to get.

    I suggest some Clairol hot rollers for that, mark :D

    I'll see your Pantheon and raise you a Suzuki Burgman.
