Anyone know how heavy the stock weights are on a 3 roller derbi? Just put a little 60cc kit, and 16.16, with cut up biturbo, and the thing will barely crack 40 and doesnt rev out. Pretty sure I need lighter weights. They take stock scooter weights yeah? Anyone recommend what weight I might need?
Will my tjt weights work in the stock derbi variator for now?
you need a tjt or a flat reed 6 weight setup. the 3 weight variators use unusual weights that cant really be easily lightened.
a stock 6 weight variator with 3 stock weights removed is the best all around setup.
So I hear. Unfortunately I dont have one at the moment. Well I do have a tjt, but it just got mounted up to my hobbit.
Fuuuuuck.
cut your stock hobbit variator, use the tjt on the derbi.
done.
Ugh I am determined to make the TJT work well on the hobbit, since peter insists it cant be done.
just pull one of the 3 weights out, and it should be fine on the stock vario. You should be breaking 40 easy.
Really, 2 weights? Wont that totally make it out of balance and fuck shit up?
maybe, but it worked fine for me. Its probably not the best long term solution, but I was just looking for a quick boost back with my stock cylinder. Maitland recommended it to me, so if anything goes wrong, blame him.
