Gilera runner rollers
Well, the test spin with just the clutch springs went only mediocre, only difference I could tell was the clutch closing earlier, which made slow speed corners a bit of a pain. Logically if it close’s earlier it should open earlier, but there is no acceleration? DOH! as it revs higher the gearing goes up, it needs lighter rollers! which i handily had to hand. When i went looking for them i also found some high quality malossi clutch springs i had totally forgotten were there, they look like the right diameter for my clutch as well so yep another rebuild 🙂
So, with three 8.7g roller and three standard rollers (least i think there standard) and green clutch springs, it fucking flys, no discernible loss in top speed and loads of get off the line and go. This is how a two stroke should go!
Can’t wait for the xtdr to be going, gotta pull myself up and get started on it, think a fully functioning riot runner 180 could help with that 😀

8.7g rollers, gees, standard ones are 15.5g!!
6×15.5 = 93 and now its 3×8.7 + 3×15.5 = 72.6 which is a nearly the same as use 12.5g rollers all round, you’ll have to have a go, do you have standard rollers in yours? I got some spare springs and rollers if you wanna play with your own 😀
also i’m on ebay right now looking up the bolts you need which are btw:
15 m6x35
1 m6x75
1 m6x100
found then all apart from the 75mil one.
