What is the placement direction of scooter drive face weights?

When facing the drive face, the side with rubber should all be positioned towards the right. Below is relevant information about scooters: Introduction: A scooter is a type of vehicle between a motorcycle and a car, serving as a popular means of transportation. It was invented by senior engineer Corradino D’Ascanio. Sometimes it is also transliterated as "Scooter" in Chinese. Production Distribution: Globally renowned scooter manufacturers include Piaggio, Aprilia, Triumph, Peugeot, BMW, Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki. These major brands each have their own characteristics, with scooters being the flagship products for Piaggio, Triumph, and Peugeot. Particularly Piaggio, which is almost synonymous with scooters in Europe. It boasts a long history, profound cultural heritage, excellent products, and countless followers.
After years of repairing scooters, I've learned that there's no specific requirement for the orientation of the variator rollers since they are all spherical and symmetrical balls that perform the same in any direction. The key is to avoid incorrect placement or wear: ensure the roller surfaces are smooth and crack-free during installation, and clean the tracks before inserting them. If you accidentally install them in the wrong direction, it's not a big deal—it might just slightly affect the CVT's shifting response. I once encountered a situation where the rollers were worn but not replaced, resulting in jerky acceleration. Later, I realized that regular maintenance is more important. Every time I repair the scooter, I clean the rollers before reinstalling them, which helps extend their lifespan. Remember, variator rollers work based on weight balance—using dirty or damaged rollers will increase abnormal noise and fuel consumption.
