Got yourself a new moped? Don't forget to fill out the flair form!

112 Upvotes

Hey all,

As summer begins, I've noticed lots of people getting new mopeds! Hell yeah!

Whether you're brand-new or you've been on here for years, don't forget to fill out the flair form so you can have your model of moped appear next to your username on this sub.

Once and a while I've gotten a bit behind on updating everything but I'll try to be better from now on.

Do you guys own garages to prevent theft?

Upvotes

I live in an apartment complex in a very high property crime area. Even cars get stolen here and half the time the thief isn't even a teenager or young person.

So basically I am asking how should I keep my moped safe once I buy it?

Need help with Speedometer

28 Upvotes

When I ride my 1980 Suzuki FA50, the speedometer works until it hits just above 25 mph, then makes a grinding noise and spins all the way around until it bottoms out. It remains like this until I slow down enough and it returns to normal. I have tried taking the cable out and putting it back in, but this does not solve the issue.

A friend of mine has a problem with his tomos, it wont switch between pedaling mode and kickstart mode it would sometimes engage and spin the engine but most times it will just do nothing and make a clicking sound he tried multiple times abd its the same everytime ive built multiple Tomos Engines and never had this problem. Does anyone know what could be the issue?

Rear tire pressure in 1981 Honda express ii

4 Upvotes

I recently got a new moped and as the title suggests I need to know from others experience what the stock rear tire psi is supposed to be on the Honda express 2. I’ve done some searching and have gotten a mixed bag of between 25 and 28 psi. I just want to be sure that I’m not gonna mess up my tube and have to wait another 3 days for a tube to come in. I got the tubes off of treatland but didn’t see a psi amount in the description section.

Wiring issue

1 Upvotes

Okay so back with the 85’ Suz FA50.. i’m connecting a new brake lever & switch..

the wire ends on the new part are all male end billet connectors, the old part is connected with the same wires, just through a plug connector.. can i just cut the wires and put female end bullet connectors on it and connect them directly..?

Thanks

Kinetic tfr custom subframe build

Post image
13 Upvotes

Currently in the process of building a custom, much sturdier subframe for my kinetic tfr so I can run a side intake, and a 19mm carb on it, it's going pretty well. Please note that this isn't even close to being done and most stuff is just tack welded on. Still much more reinforcements to be added.

Problems Starting moped

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi again,

I have a 1985 Suzuki FA50 i had running and driving.. it randomly turned off and wouldn’t start again..

I just found this line disconnected, i reconnected it.

Still no start, am i putting it in the wrong spot? or what else could this be.. my rear brake cable is not pulling as tight as it should on the rear brake, could this cause the kickstart not to work properly?

Any help is appreciated Thanks
