Lower weight variator rollers/sliders

I have a buddy 170i and was looking to change the stock variator rollers to Dr Pulley sliders of a lower weight.

What are the best weight sliders to install for a big boost in low end acceleration without damaging the engine?

Also, what are the stock roller weights on a Buddy 170i?

Thanks for the help! Had a lot of trouble finding a clear answer for the 170i

On my 170i stock rollers were 13 gram. I replaced them with 12 gram Dr. Pulley Sliders. I did not experiment with different weights. I have found that on 125cc and up 1 gram lighter than stock usually gives smoother and crisper acceleration without losing top end
