 Hello I'm new the forum, and I have been trying to find out what size and weight roller is in the scooter.

17x12mm or 13x16mm also what is the stock weight, I want to try going up a gram or so to see if I can get just a few more mph out of it.
    any help would be greatly appreciated
                                                Thanks Jeff

17x12 & about 8gr

Thanks, is it true that a heavier weight will give a smidge  more in the top end, I am not looking for much,  there is a lot of investment for 50+ mph and after reading some of these posts and the trouble with broken shafts I think I will try maybe a 9gm slider and see what that does for me


 Thanks again Jeff

generally, its about 1.5gr--3gr more or less depending on the set up.
depending on the scooter some guys  find lighter sliding weights than stock
give the faster take off and some  mph on the top end.

what is the rating for the stock torq spring on the tgb, some one told me i shoudn change the torq spring when i change the roller  weights, and is that really a good idea?
                              Thanks Jeff

not sure what the stock main spring is
but usually i change out the main spring and the clutch springs
and use 1500rpm sets.
also you might think about using slider weights instead of the round rollers,
they work better ..

  Thank you, I have been trying to find out as much as I can and try to do all at once, a friend of mine was a dealer for MRP but they pulled it because he would place the big orders that they wanted him to, he just doesn't have the set up or the time with his main occupation to make that much of an investment, especially here. He is trying to see what he can do to help me out since he knows what kind of mark up there is on that stuff.   
     Do you think the scooter ninja d-sliders are worth looking at.   thanks again for all the advice
                                                                                                   Jeff

the d sliders are the same as the dr pulley sliders
i feel your friends  pain as i am a MRP dealer too

That's the bad thing when one has the market cornered so to speak, there isn't
 much competition for them, so they can be pushy .
  Where I work we sell brick & block an such  , if we tried what they are pulling we would loose all kinds of buisness

since i have a shop too, i stock MRP and lots of stuff from
other suppliers for a couple of reasons ; but mostly
you need a place to buy parts from when MRP is out
and that is often and sometimes for 6 months or more.

some of the newer suppliers out there are giving better
deals on shipping  and many of their parts are
cheaper than MRP's

Jrwierd,
I changed my torque spring to 1500 when I went up to 70cc it was hard to tell the benefits because of all the upgrades at once.. go a bit lighter on the Dr. Pulley sliders otherwise you'll have to almost push off to get the bike rolling after a complete stop.. but then again I'm a big guy. A new pipe makes the most difference out of em' all though. Good luck and make sure you don't run it lean, otherwise there will be problems, big problems... good luck it is an awesome bike!!
