Thanks JR,
But, you knew there was a "but" commin'. The problem was the bike was jumping at take off, stuttering for a few seconds before 10mph. At 20mph, it all smooth out till I had to stop again. The mechanic pulled the cover off and said the rollers are uneven and a little worn. I assumed he would order the OEM rollers but there not listed in Roketa or Johway, couldn't find any information. So he asked me to order the parts if I could find them. I did, In weights of 13g to 33g. I had him put it back together so I can use it. It's my only transportation. Dan is a great mechanic, been working on my bike since 2011. Good guy, good son's who also know a lot. The problem , I'm sorry, the other problem is cost. I'm living on disability and went homeless in 2010 do to my failed business. It's just a couple months ago that Uncle Sam started garnishing my monthly checks for those taxes. I didn't even know I had back taxes.
So, life really stinks right now and my only transportation will have to be sold and since it's not running to good I wonder how much I can get for it..?
Thanks everybody, even through all my winning you were all willing to help and I really appreciate it. I doubt I'll ever be back here since I'll have no scoot to complain about, so Thanks Again...

Thanks you Rapidjim,
Great information. But very, very, very unfortunately everybody say's the same thing, weight first then start testing different slider weights until you get the right one. Not one person on this forum said " Here's the original roller weight, it's a good starting place", are those numbers a secret or something..? Roketa, Jonway, I get nothing from them. Again, I an not a mechanic, I can not open the engine over and over to test and find the perfect weight. I do not have a impact wench to remove the bell housing to get to the rollers. The shop is very busy and does not want to do so much time consuming work, and be way to costly. Again, they are always busy, motorcycles, scooters, ATV's, Snowmobiles, everything, mini bikes, boats. They are the only shop who works on imports, Chinese, Taiwan, Indonesia, as well as Big name brands. And by the way, NO motorcycle repair shop, Honda, local dealers, out of town shops, No one will work on Chinese bikes. They call them Chinese rockets and twist and go's. OK, just to make sure you guys get it. I am totally at the mercy of the ONE MECHIANIC who is willing to work on my bike but make it a test case.
Well, I guess I will have to through in the towel and sell my bike.....I can find no hope here. I'm sure your all correct but that does not help me in any way.

thanks JR but I'm no mechanic and I live in an apartment with rules. I have to take it to the shop every time something goes wrong and he's so busy all the time. When I said he'll have to take it apart and put it all back together at least a couple of times or more ......now he's asking me to go some where else but I can't. He's the only one in the county who works on imports. If I loose him I might as well sell my bike.
We both just wanted to know the OEM ROLLER WEIGHT FROM THE FACTORY. That's it, that's all. I need to order something now and stop this experimental shit. Did any of you have big problems with OEM rollers..? NO, for most of us the rollers worked fine. I don't remember anyone saying my rollers are bad and need to be replaced. I'm sure that happens now and then. I don't think experiments, collecting data, coming to a conclusion, test results..? Not good enough sorry Nope...do it again. Please you guys, stop it already...I don't have a testing facility, I just want sliders. So I can not weight anything, I don't know how to take it apart. I'm going to loose my one mechanic.
SO should I sell my bike or what..?

Thanks ellpee,
Your right, someone did tell me that. I know that's really the only way to check. I assume rollers would wear down and loose weight over time. I thought the stock roller weight that a new scoot ships with would be a good place to start. The shop is waiting for me to order the parts but I didn't know the original roller weights so I thought I couldn't. After examination he put it back together so I could use it until the parts came. It's my only transportation. Guess I've have to drop it off and leave it for a while...
thanks ellpee

You know, now that I think about it, I can't remember the question either. I know I was think about the CVT "stock roller weight" in my 2011 Jonway YY250T ( Honda clone engine). I want to change to sliders instead of rollers, apparently much smoother shifting. I was told to go down 1g or 2g from the stock roller weight. I was thinking maybe 22g sliders but without knowing the roller weight I don't know if that's enough or too much... also I weight 220lbs, if that helps.
So anyone know the stock roller weight..? Damn it, that's the question I needed answered. Sorry again everybody...
thanks

Thanks cyborg but motorcycle brackets hang down close to the tire. With scooters, the side "body" covers the normal downward angle so a 3" or 4" top or bottom outward extension or something is needed first.... I think.. none of eBay's brackets are like that.
But thanks anyway
barry
p.s. who else may have something like that..? China..?

I was surprised to see the Saddlebags I want that would be perfect with my new lighted trunk. But because of how the YY250T body extends down to cover the frame and part of the tire, there's no place to hang the bags. I see a few fabricated brackets for the same saddlebags but as an apartment dweller I'm unable to weld, build or really do anything. Does anyone have easy and good, solid ideas to building your own brackets..? Most all bags hang to the tire so a good bracket should work with any saddlebags... thanks again barry   |

Hello everyone,
Just one more question about "Sliders/ Rollers". I see that these come in different weights. How do I know what's right for me..? 20g, 24, 28g..? or in between..? I was told that " Sliders" shift smoother than "Rollers" so sliders it is. I have a 2011 Jonway, 172mm Honda clone. 9300 + mi. 63 yr. old and I weight 220lbs.
any suggestions..?

How in the world did you mount your saddlebags..? I want told there's no way to mount them... Back in 2011 an internet seller had the Jonway 250 with hard shell saddlebags with brackets ad looked something like this... Oh forgot, you can't copy pictures to here. Got a lot on my computer but no info how to add with my reply..

Good thanks, references is key. I was kind of ripped off 3 times in 5 yr. ( my stupidity) and each internet company has no contact info.

I'm very sorry you guys.. I was a little frustrated. I had just finished throwing my hammer, two screwdrivers, plyers and most of my sockets as far as I could. Didn't go to far since they landed in my back yard. Once I had found them all I sat in my lawn chair quietly........wishing I had a hand grenade.....
again I'm sorry for being a dill hole, I'm no mechanic but I am a good dill hole.

I see that " Scooter Parts 4 less" has absolutely no contact information of any kind. Usually this is done on purpose so be very careful doing business with these kinds of companies.....
