Doe anyone know what "stock" roller weights normally are on a 50cc?
I ordered 11 gram-I was told it would give me more top speed, but I am worried about initial acelaration
thanks |

I think the general consensus is that for a 50cc you want 4.5 gram weights.
Sounds like your going to heavier weights and that will only take away your acceleration and your top end will be the same. Reason being your stock weights should already be heavy enough to make your scooter reach top speed, you want to go lighter not heavier to increase your acceleration but just light enough to not take away top end. |

11 grams sounds more suitable for a 125cc or greater machine. The stock weights that came with my 50cc scooter weighed in at 7.5 grams on my kitchen scale. I have 4 gram weights in my 50cc bike now and the acceleration is much better and the top speed is unaffected. |

You may want to cancel that 11g weight order if all you got is a 50cc! You should have gotten 4.5g for a 50cc.
Those weights are for a 125-150cc scooter and are gonna be useless to you. I doubt your motor is gonna have power enough to overcome those heavy roller weights, to get you anywhere close to your top speed.
Bottom line: It's gonna be like trying to start off in 4th gear all the time if you use those 11g in a 50cc scooter. :|
Whoever talked you into 11g weights lied to you. They will not increase your top speed. Nothing will increase top speed but a taller final drive gear and a moter reworking, to broaden its powerband, and add low end torque needed to turn the naw taller gears. |
