- I installed 10 gram Dr Pulley Sliders in my Royal Alloy GT125 (euro 4, 2019 model). But did it make any difference? Please feel free to comment with your experience of sliders and rollers. Thanks for watching.
Also, regulations all considered the royal alloy designers know more than we do. Why should we second guess them? Love your honest unbiased vids sir.
Hello fella, I did hear that the other way to increase or decrease the gear ration is to alter the rear cogs on the drive shaft on the rear wheel. Not seen any videos on it and it would be a major job as well as some Rachel Riley calcs to get it right. I did an upgrade on my vespa to a 177 barrel and piston with a bigger carb but its a manual geared scoot so not sure if that change would be good for an auto. I'm still running mine in and only getting 45-50mph as cant go past 1/4 throttle for another 100 miles. Looking forward to the day I can open her up. Mod 1 also passed on the only dry day for weeks with no minors and got Mod 2 in a few weeks. Keep the vids coming mate really enjoying them, Ride safe.👍
Hi Andrew that sounds well beyond my novice capabilities !! Maybe try that in a couple of years lol. Thanks for watching 🛵
I'll take a watch tomorrow mate. Bit busy tonight.
Look forward to this little mod. Hope it all goes well!. 👌🏾
Hey mate thanks for watching. Just checked out your video, neve heard of a tommy before, looks good, how is it ?
@@RoyalAlloyRider No problem at all. Your videos are good buddy. I thought you knew a thing or two. To say you've said that you don't, you're doing good mate. And yes it's just a scooter for now to get me by until I can afford a better scooter. But, it's quite decent tbh, has a full years MOT & lots of potential. I'm going to be doing quite a bit more work on it & hopefully it'll look a lot bet in 5-6 weeks time. It's a great runner tbh & is going to get me by for the next year or two. It's not the first bike I've worked on so I know a few bits.. But, it seems you're getting to know your way around your scooter. Good on you dude. I'll watch your latest video properly tomorrow. And I'll post vids to keep you updated on mine. Have a good weekend mate. 🤝🏾
@@RoyalAlloyRider Was supposed to say -
hopefully it'll look a lot better*
Just watched this fully now. Obviously there wasn't a huge difference, but if it now runs a bit smoother with the new pulleys then that's the main thing I guess. Only other option for a little more pull & a few extra MPH top end is to add a little big bore kit, 150cc. I think quite a few people do that to be honest.
Hello if you dont already own a cordless impact wrench.or anyone else reading this.if you want to undo your variator or wheels nuts you will need the wrench from lidi from tomorrow 3 march £59.99 I know its not cheap but its a good bit of kit.and will save you money in the long run. But I would advise you use a torque wrench to do the bolts back up.
That's cheap I invested in a decent one as a long term investment,. Great tip thank you Peter.
@@RoyalAlloyRider that's good. if you ever have to take your back wheel out to replace your tyre it will pay for itself as the nuts are tight.
Great video mate.
Try the 9 gram first see if there's an change .don't go any heavier than 10 Gram. Keep this up mate.
Nice one Mark, yeah I'll try a tad lighter. Got another mod coming up in a couple of weeks 😁😉 thanks for watching 👍🏻🛵
A mate of mine had a gt200 he put those sliders in ,lighted pullys , a tasso can ,optimised the jets , got about 2mph more and slightly more acceleration,, he was not impressed, for all the money he spent, 😁👍
They are all sliders. Even the round "rollers" don't actually roll in operation, they slide, which is why they develop flat spots. Whether you get any real improvement with the DR Pulley sliders depends on several factors, but they don't actually operate in a different way. It's just that the sliders are designed to slide and the "rollers" aren't.
Great advice Barry thanks for sharing the knowledge 👍🏼
Bloody el. I was as disappointed as you were with the Dr Pulleys. I’ve heard nowt but good things about them. Maybe a more racy variator would be needed to compliment the pulleys? Another good vid all the same though pal. 👍
Hi Tony yes mate I'm sure if I'd been on 14g or 12g rollers previously I'd have been impressed with the difference. I wrongly assumed my existing ones were heavier than 10g, - should prob have weighed em first 🙄 never believe what you read on tinterweb 🙄🤣!! (Unless previous owner did upgrade them to 10g ?🤔)
@@RoyalAlloyRider I’m planning on fitting a Tasso exhaust. By all accounts it’s supposed to add another 2hp to the output. We’ll see though.
@@tonye7509 from what I've read and watched you only get the extra oomph from the tasso exhaust or any performance exhaust if you also switch to a pod air filter, and for that to work you also need the ECU remap I believe, otherwise the fuel injection to air ratio is wrong. At least thats how I understand it so far. And that's not to mention a new variator and clutch spring. It gets messy ! I'm planning on a bit more tinkering soon though😁👍🏻
@@RoyalAlloyRider Yeah I’ve read and watched the same and come to the same conclusion. I really only want the exhaust because it looks and sounds quality.
A bit of bling.
Thanks for your video ,yes very interesting i am at a stage where i am looking around for a scooter ,125 cc,and wondering how many miles on your clock and have you had anything to worry about ,bike probs etc ,after they have some milage ,say between 5/10000 miles thanks again .
Hi Peter, I'm currently on approx 7500 I think it could be a little more, runs as sweet as a nut, like new!
@@RoyalAlloyRider Thanks for that i am about to go on their website and look for a local agent near us in Newark, Ps we were on holiday just a few weeks ago in Derbyshire enjoying all that scenery ,also went dow the mine on the top of one of the peeks,cheers for advice video,
Don't worry about acceleration, the top end of yours is the same as mine thereabout, just get a nice sounding fat exhaust like mine x
need to keep up with you !🤣🤣 thought yours was knackered ?
@@RoyalAlloyRider it'll be sorted early March fingers cross, mean time I'll see you whilst I'm riding the neco
Just to add to all the suggestions.
You had to fill up with petrol.
Did you fill it up full?
Every litre is about a Kg. Any weight will affect top end and acceleration
Way I understand it is lighter rollers give better acceleration and heavier give higher top end 👍
thank you for commenting and watching🛵👍
Hello sir. May I ask ? What size of your pulley ? 20x12 or 18x14 ?
Hello my friend, they are 18 x 14 . Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Hell mucker. Shame about the sliders. I reckon you should try 8g sliders, this will I think give you the extra take off power. I have looked at a few videos of roller/ slider changing and they all seem to have better acceleration, but then it takes a bit longer for top speed. This would be good for two up or pulling up the hills. Some people say they lose a bit of top speed due to the revs hitting the restriction before its reached top speed limits. I think the Milano is fitted with 11g in the factory. At the end of the day we ride 125cc air cooled scooter with 9.5 bhp. I would like to know how the GP 125cc liquid cooled scooter proforms with its 14bhp. Do you know anyone that owns one or the TG 125cc liquid cooled. 🤔
Yea that's a big difference in hp just for being liquid cooled !! Would be I interesting to see ! I'll try and little lighter. I just wrongly assumed that the existing rollers were 14g or 12g, I should have weighed them first before ordering the sliders 🙄. Cheers mate
Never thought about it.but on the royal alloy Facebook page someone said if you fit the Dr pulleys tell your insurance or if found insurance invalid?
i read that11grm was a better weight for slight gains. except for the cone filters and exaust mine is still factory from new. mine tops out at 8000 revs and when it hits that after a couple of mins the speed drops back about 5mph your top speed is better than mine i can get 60 just about and sat nav says thats really 56mph. mind you i an 19and half stone..again look at stevie dub dub on YT he changes his rollers..on his alloy 125.
A wider belt will make it a bit quicker, remember it's only a 125
Thank you for the tip 👍👍🛵
To be honest I don't think I would bother for a few miles an hour..seems to much hassle.
Try it without the screen on see what happens
I'm loving my 125. I've done all the mods on cars in the past - exhaust, air filter kits etc. The best you ever get is more noise - and that's all I've ever asked for. I've had Impreza , elises and lotus seven 7 style kit cars. They're made for speed.. SCOOTERS ARE NOT. Besides how many fast lambos and Ferraris have you seen? Not many. People cant admire it if it's a ticket inducing blur!😊
Missing your videos! Loved them. I hope you have more to come!
Tip for getting top speed on a rev and go quicker. Instead of just going flat out straight away roll the throttle on as u build speed .
Thank you Anthony I'll give that a try 👍🏻 thanks for watching 👍🏻🛵
Don't buy more pulleys stick to rollers . my tg125lc has 8.2 gram rollers instead of 7gram standard . On vespa gts they recommended 6.5 gram slides .
The TG has 7g as standard? Wow thats pretty light isn't it. Got more mods in the pipeline 😉🛵👍🏻
What does it do too speed with 8.2 in
Another great video. How did you fix the lug you snapped off in the previous video, just glue?
I've ridden it without, it was fine just with the two main fixings, but I super glued the lug back on last night, looks solid, but I'll try it out this weekend. Problem is it it's not as solid as it looks I will likely lose the lug on the road !!!🙄 thanks for watching👍🏻🛵
@@RoyalAlloyRider araldite may provide some support if it doesn't hold
When you change your rollers, you need too change your spring in your clutch, the lighter the roller, more acceleration. Heavy roller more top end. Get a good set, eg polin, pm turning. Good luck pal.
Ive bought a new Malossi variator and clutch spring, just not got round to fitting it yet ! Watch this space, should be interesting ha ha 🛵😁
its a misconception about heavy and light rollers. Its not true
Are you going to change them for lighter ones or you going to leave it now?
Hi JP, more mod coming soon - watch this space ! Thanks for watching🛵👍
Don't forget the scooter will have a rev limiter.
ah ok thanks for that👍 thank you for watching my channel and thanks for the tips
Love all your videos mate..... really helpful so thanks alot.
Have you tried a timing slider? Best mod for the price, in my opinion.
Take care.
Hi Nick thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching. I'm not familiar with a timing slider, I'll look into it 👍🛵
@@RoyalAlloyRider
No problem mate.....try Tasso works as they have some good stuff.
Cheers
Another great upload ✅
Top man 👊🏻😎✌🏻
Autos are not my thing... But I do enjoy your videos..
Just fitted same rollers today with tasso Road exhaust also tasso air pod filter and the tasso remap. Will let you know end of the week if I find a difference. Your videos helped me no end.
Nice one JP. Keep us posted. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoy the videos.🛵🛵
I did the same with my Euro 5 GT125 went from 6500rpm to 7500rpm 2 seconds quicker 0 to 40 mph. I did a before and after. Stock rollers had only done 500miles 4 of them were 11g and 2 were 10g. I think 9 gram Dr Pulleys are my next step. Great vid as always
why bother with any of these different parts, they make no difference,just pass your test and get a 200 or even a 300 job done
