I'm replacing the belt and rollers on my GTS for the first time and I am a bit confused about the look of the new rollers. The each side of the original rollers are definitely different. That is not the case with the new Pollini 12.5 gr rollers, both sides look the same. My question is, does that mean it doesn't matter how the new rollers fit into the variator?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I haven't fitted the Pollini rollers to any of the GTS models. If however they are exactly the same both sides and are not in any way marked with a front or back insignia, then yes you can put them in either way round, unlike the original Vespa rollers which are handed.

That's what I was thinking too, but I was looking for some confirmation. Thanks Stromrider.

The malossis rollers are the same as the polinis. No correct way in. Just drop them in as is. Good luck.
