Posted April 25, 201114 yr Well i have been whizzing about on a scooter while waiting to find a decent bike.. The bike is nearly finished but i am changing the clutch rollers on the scoot as the old ones were knackered.. My question is when i took the old ones out they were covered in grease.. Are they supposed to be greasey or should they be bone dry??.. i will add the grease looked pretty manky so it may not have been put there deliberately.. Any ideas fellas?
April 25, 201114 yr Dont know much about these little scooters but ! If the rolers are what drive the belt and the belt drives the wheel then im guessing they shouldnt have any grease on them. The belt would just slip through the roler and not turn anything. ?????????

'DO NOT GREASE THE ROLLERS' they need to freely 'roll' up and down each of the variator ramps that they sit in.Nev
