Whether you're chasing quicker acceleration, stronger hill-climbing power, improved fuel economy, or higher top speed, this kit gives you the flexibility to experiment with multiple weight combinations before purchasing a permanent roller set.
Unlike buying individual roller sets, the Prima Tuning Kit includes a wide range of weights organized in a durable storage case, making CVT tuning faster, easier, and more affordable.
Why Roller Weights Matter
Variator roller weights control how quickly your CVT transmission shifts.
Lighter Rollers
- Increase engine RPM
- Faster acceleration
- Stronger low-end power
- Better hill climbing
- More responsive throttle
Heavier Rollers
- Lower cruising RPM
- Smoother engagement
- Improved fuel economy
- Increased top-speed potential (if engine power allows)
Finding the correct weight keeps your engine operating in its optimal power band for maximum performance.

Signs Your Rollers Need Replacement
Inspect your rollers approximately every 1,000 miles or during routine CVT maintenance.
Common symptoms of worn rollers include:
- Flat spots on the rollers
- Higher RPM at cruising speeds
- Slower acceleration
- Reduced top speed
- Poor throttle response
- Lower fuel economy
- Jerky or inconsistent shifting
Replacing worn rollers restores smooth CVT operation and helps maximize engine performance.
Installation & Tuning Notes
- Install rollers in an alternating 120° pattern to maintain proper variator balance.
- Never install identical weights side-by-side.
- These rollers are intended for tuning and testing purposes only.
- Once you've determined the ideal weight, install a complete matched roller set of that weight for long-term use.
Variator Installation Tips
- Open the clutch to create slack in the drive belt before installing the variator.
- Ensure the drive face seats fully against the center boss with no visible splines.
- Reinstall the variator fan, washer, and retaining nut.
- Apply Blue Loctite to the retaining nut.
- Torque the variator nut to 30–35 ft-lbs, or follow your manufacturer's specified torque value.

Whether you're running a stock engine or a fully modified big bore build, the Prima Roller Weight Tuning Kit helps you unlock the best possible acceleration, cruising performance, and top speed before investing in a permanent roller set.
