| Hi all, My scoot has now done nearly 20,000 miles. There is no record to say the variator pins and rollers have ever been changed. Would these items be worn out at my mileage, shall i just replace anyway? Part numbers, correct weights would be fantastic. Jamie.  |

| Variator pins only apply to J. Costa variators.
Rollers are what Honda supplies as OEM inside your variator.
You cannot have both pins and rollers at the same time in your variator.
Sliders are aftermarket variator parts designed to replace the stock rollers.
The ONLY way to know if your stock rollers are beyond their useful life is to measure them with a micrometer and compare their diameter to the specs listed in the shop manual.
Generally speaking, the stock rollers should last close to double your present mileage.
Only J. Costa pins would be worn out at your mileage. They generally last 10k miles if you're lucky. You would know from an abnormally high cruising rpm on the highway. |

Unless they changed the OEM rollers to Dr Pulley Sliders ... the original OEM rollers would be fine.
Most people replace the OEM rollers with the Dr Pulley Sliders for
1) Reduce (400-500) RPMs at high way speed
2) Change low end acceleration (15 MPH and up)

OEM weight is 28 grams ... lowers weights would have faster acceleration and potentially lower MPGs from the wide open throttles._________________ Bill - Georgetown TX 07 Silver Wing ABS Clearview w/vent, Givi E96/TB19/E52 with Admore Lighting, Alaskan Leather, Wrist Rests, 3M Solas tape, K&N air, Hyperpro spring, Grip Puppies, Airhawk, Utopia backrest, Stebel, Apexcone HIDs, StingerZ LEDs (w/Backoff WigWag), Knight Rider Sequential LED, NGK Iridium, Power Commander III, Manic Salamander, Saeng mirrors, Garmin Zumo 660, Dark-Side Sumitomo Tire  |
