Variators don't really have an rpm. The mass of the rollers controls what rpm they pull at. The stock rollers are really too heavy for the best acceleration.

I took my PCX out for a long ride for the first time since I went back to stock rollers from Dr. Pulley.

I felt like my friend had come back to me after a long absence. Or, it was the kind of feeling you get when, after a long illness, you return to health. I, for one, will fool with the variator no more.

Zonky, can you confirm that you had SR2015 sliders, and not SR1814 or something off?

I'm afraid mine were 1814.

You need SR2015. The 1814s will cost you speed since they won't push out far enough on the variator plate.
They probably rattled around line a spray can, too? In future anything labeled as 20x15mm is safe to run.

Maybe you should change the title of the thread to "Wrong size sliders for the bike installed and I didn't like that they weren't working right". Instead of implying to everyone that installing the correct DrPulley sliders would be a step backwards.

They are genuine. The knockoff designs are orange from what I've seen.

Well, the bike seemed louder to me with them in--but I thought it was engine noise. Maybe it was a fast rattling variator.

With the sliders I hear a sort of scrubbing sound as I drop the revs when they aren't quite fully engaging the variator plate. But nothing awful...

Are you going to try the correct size and have another crack at it? If you do, you might be happy with 12g or 13g for your weight.

You're right, using lower variator weights means that the engine will run on higher revs - thus will be louder.
What I believe the other inmates meant that the smaller sliders can rattle - especially at idle when there is no tension on them.
