I've been reading up on variator weights for helpful hints and tips at finding the perfect combination and I stumbled on one post where someone only used 3 of 6 weights in their variator. So far my 4g sliders are on the way and I've been playing around with my 9g and 6g, even mixing them to test what would happen. No matter what, my 9g rollers make it so I can't go over 25mph uphill, and I lose 1mph topend because I can't accelerate fast enough to reach my top speed.
So I was wondering if I could possibly utilize only 3 of my 9g roller weights to achieve a 4.5g equivalent just to toy around with. Will this damage my variator? If there's any risk of damage I'll just wait for my 4g sliders to combine with my 9gs in order to attain a 6.5g, which is 5.5g roller equivalent.

Update:
I hope nobody thinks I forgot to update here
I got my 38 idle jet, v slides, and all my weights now and I think I'm going to have to re test all my speeds since I'm now able to take the tape off of my filter without bogging out my idle.
Starting with all 4g weights, at 267lbs on a 2009 peace sports 50, 63cc scooter, only now with an unrestricted freeflow filter.
4g:
35mph uphill, 33mph GPS
40mph flat terrain, 36mph GPS
45mph downhill, 39mph GPS
Three 4g and three 9g:
32mph uphill, 28mph GPS
40mph flat terrain, 37mph GPS
50mph downhill, 43mph GPS
Six 9g:
30mph up hill, 25mph GPS
40mph flat terrain, 38mph GPS
47mph downhill, 40mph GPS
Three 4g sliders and Three 6.5g rollers:
33mph uphill,
~40mph flat terrain, 37mph GPS
48mph downhill,
I've finished the first phase of testing!
