When you think about it... Only benefit is opet CVT on a lower revs... But if you push it to the max - you lose the lover revs. And and - engine works harder when accelerate... That's why I always stayed at the end on a stock weights, you can not beat Honda engineers, apparently... 😂
I have been experimenting myself with the weights on my old scooter, Kymco grand gink 250. Including softer clutch springs, so it's starting very easy and early in the revs. I got 20% reduction on fuel composition and get it down to 3,3 liters/100 km (70 mpg). That is very good for old carbureted 250 .. But I know where works and where it does not matter. I am a calm rider and ride usually 50-70 kph, that bring the revs down a lot at that speed interval. Flat terrain and ~half of top speed of the scooter, that is where bigger weight lowers down the composition. I ride new Sym 125 at the moment, the revs are high but feel that the scooter is too underpowered for bigger weights.
I went slightly lighter with the roller weights on my 2020 PCX150. 14g. The take off is better, top speed is about the same and I haven't really noticed a loss of MPG. I still get average 96mpg. I have national rifle windshield (middle height) that seems to help a little as well. Most of my riding is less than 55mph and in town.
are those weights the same as the CVT rollers? I think I've seen something about after market rollers for my Vespa 300GTS that can have some advantageous effects although I'm not exactly sure what.

How can you ride this after riding your motorcycles?:)
Put smaller weight rollers
