Re: Mixed Roller Weights ?

My weights both stock and ones that were in it have a flat metal side on one end and a side that is slightly indented a little on the other.. Not sure if they go in flat side to the right or left when I'm holding the variator ? Any one with any thoughts ??

Mixed Roller Weights ?

Are there any merits to mixing roller weights ? I have a new stock set for my Aero 50 and a little heavier set that are in good shape. I've seemed to have loss some pick-up and top end with the stock set... Will mixing them give the best of both worlds ? I've read that they need to be mixed 3 and 3....

3.00-10 tire verses a 90/90-10 tire

Just how different are these two tires ?? The 90/90-10 tire is about 20% less cost wise... I thought the 90/90-10 was a bigger tire then the 3.00-10...Is the 90/90-10 shorter but fatter ?? Please help because I am still confused or should I just order two 3.00-10's for my Aero 50....

Tire Explanation

Can anyone explain to me the difference with a 2.75-10 tire and a 80/90-10 and a 3.00-10 and a 90/90-10 tire ? How do the tires spec out differently... I'm hoping to put the 80/90-10 and the 90/90-10 on my 87 Honda Aero 50 .. Don't want to make a mistake by getting too big of a tire.

Re: 87 Aero 50 tires

Tks for the info...I guess I'm kind of old school about tire sizing....I understand 2.75-10 and 3.00-10 sizes...I'm still trying to grasp the 80/90-10 and 90/90-10 concept.... Side by side how do these tires compare ?.. Is there a simple way to explain this ?? My scooter runs tubes, so can I run tub...

1987 Honda Aero 50 Mixed Gas ?

Having a issue with the oil pump leaking oil under the pump, no luck tightening lines, new clamps...It leaks running or off... Going to try and remove the pump to get a better look and check o-ring. If this fails can I run mixed gas?? Do I have to do anything special to the pump if I go this route??...
