    If you put 9 gram rollers in it'll rev high as fuck, you'll go no where and soon you'll need a new engine. I put 11 gram rollers in my old conversion, with the sport pipe and they were way too light.

    If you're unsure whether or not a piston ring has gone best bet if you're worried is to have a look and if you can afford it buy a spare set just in case. :)

    Its ok when i start it up but after i do about 60ish then slow down abit then put the revs back on it feels like its dying out but it doesnt if i stop it will just idle perfect, could it be the rollers sticking or something? thanks

    I thought that matt i phoned a scooter shop up before i asked what the standard roller weights are for a typhoon 125 they said 8.5 gram but they seemed abit light but it is the actual mechanic that knows the stuff his wife who answers the calls doesnt know crap lol

    If I'm honest I'm not sure, doesn't feel like it's fueling does it, like it's bogging? Not sure other wise to be honest someone else should be able to shed some light on it, well worth giving it a good looking over and make sure you've the right size rollers!

    Fucking hell, 8.5g rollers? The 'mechanic' needs to start answering the phone himself I think hahaha! :D

    No its deffinatly fueling well becuase it can hammer it some times and no problems its when its slowing back down and i put the revs on again its like the rollers are stuck or something also it started doing this about 2 days ago when i was just ragging the crap out of it for about 1 minute lol after that it started doing what ive just told you also the spark on the spark plug it nice and blue so im not sure :glare:
