Compatibility

For the models in the applications table. Retailers quote neither the same years nor the same weights for 20.9 x 17 mm kits (11 to 11.5 g): check the model, year, engine code and original reference of your variator before ordering, because roller weight changes how the engine responds.

When to replace them

Replace the rollers when they are worn or flattened, when the variator vibrates or makes noise, or when the scooter accelerates poorly and loses top speed. Check the sliders, belt and guides of the variator at the same time.

Fitting and tips

Fitting requires taking the variator apart and should be done by a qualified technician. Replace all 6 rollers together, clean the plate guides and refit the variator to the manufacturer's tightening torques.
