Up the weight for better top end. Lower the weight for better low end.

I have stock rollers now, whatever they are for an 85 aero. And it gets up to 35 on a flat at about 100 yards? DoesnÔÇÖt seem bad. My rollers have flat spots on them so I am sure they need to be replaced. I am getting a 65cc kit from VT cycles. I would have gotten rollers if I knew I needed them but I hadnÔÇÖt taken it apart yet so I didnÔÇÖt know. Also being new at this I am not sure what I am doing. I would like do get all-around performance to use as a daily rider. I donÔÇÖt need a screamer but it would be nice to get off the line a bit quicker and still get a good top speed. I am hoping to get about 40 MPH after the kit. VT suggests that I might use 6 gram? weights. What do you think?
Thanks for the help guys.

Greetings:
If they're dirty-white and your Vario Excavation didn't suggest a scooter that's been tinkered with a lot, Stock was 10 grams. (1987 for sure, and I believe '85 and '86 too.)
Harbor Freight has lots of cool little scales that weigh to the 10th of a gram, popular with... uh, Pharmacists. The one I got several years ago is no longer on the Web page, but it was under $20. Good tool to have if you're tuning.
Don't rely on the weights printed on the package - they do vary, sometimes by a lot. If you have a set of 8.5s (Not a bad weight for a stock setup by the way...), and you find a couple at 8.8 and a couple at 8.3, you put them across from each other. The better to balance your Variator, my dear.
Good luck!

Thanks Wheelman,
I can't get a scale as of now because I am to low on funds. I was sure someone would know what the stock weight was and with the wealth of experience on this board surly someone would know what to do to help a newbie. This is also why I am "begging" because I don't have the cash right now. Had I known I needed the weights I would have waited on the BBK obviously. I am going to try somewhere between the 6g to 8g range and see what happens. If I can't get help with parts I simply must wait as we all do sometimes. BTW the offer still stands as for the 87 aero parts go. Got parts, willing to trade.
