Order a set of Metro weights from your Honda dealer or a site like Ronayers. It's practically the same as the mixed Polini weights.

I have been researching this myself. What I have found is that there are two choices on a stock Ruck--going faster top speed, or getting to a lower top speed faster. Still not sure which one to get.

I believe 5.6 and 7 or 7.5 . If you look on their site they have a pdf for parts and it lists the colors for different sizes and gives their weights.

just installed my polini today and the yellow is 5.5 grams and the other color I had was BLUE and they were 7.0 grams..... I weigh 195 and mixed yellow and blue and lost top end speed, so I left the Blue (7.0) and added three of my stock weights which weighed 7.0 also.topend seems about the same @43mph on straightaway. What weight are the stock metro weights?  ?? |

I don't like mixing weights myself. Notice when you do that the weight wear unevenly, flat spot sooner and the variator doesnt work as smooth in general?
For me 6 gram daytona weights work well but it depends on the engines state of tune and ride weight. Heavier rider, or peaky really modded motor- lighter rollers, Lighter rider, more built for torque motor- heavier rollers.

Well... I have an 09... stock is 45 on flats and 35 up hills... I weigh 140ish... Should I go heavier or lighter? I like to hug corners and accelerate... Dont wanna loose top speed but a bit more up hills would be great...

6 gram should bump up your accel without sacrificing speed, since you're a little bugger.

I am now having good luck with 6 gram dr pulley sliders. Real smooth action and fast accell. Wear forever and no flat spots unlike the cheap polini rollers.

Is it a bad idea to use 7gram rollers in a stock Honda Metro Variator? I'm new to this. But there are no hills where I live and I'm 195 lbs.
