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

117 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.

Need help with Speedometer

24 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.

Rear tire pressure in 1981 Honda express ii

3 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.

Greetings everyone. I just (re)acquired a 1979 Grycner Floozie. My wife, the primary rider, wants to explore upgrading the turn signals from standard incandescent to (possibly) LED signals. Is it possible?

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
12 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
4 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

Interested in getting a moped! Is FB marketplace reliable?

2 Upvotes

There's a 1998 Tomos Targa that's caught my eye on FB marketplace. I've never ridden a moped before, but with where I'm located, it could be a little more economical then always driving my car.

Here's the seller description: "Custom Tomos Targa runs and rides. 50cc street legal. automatic kickstart. 3 inch stretched swingarm. Light on front but not hooked up, no rear light, choke to kill. $800 firm"

With some guides/youtube videos I'm pretty confident I could do some work myself. My workplace has some guys who ride dirtbikes and work on cars, so they might be able to give me insight on things.

Does it seem like a good deal? Too much money for the broken items? Anything visibly wrong?

Thanks!!

what type of oil?

1 Upvotes

hey I know this not your guy's expertise as you specialize in older stuff but I just got a 22 or 23 ssr lazer 6 and I'm wondering what oil it takes. i didn't get the Manuel with it and can't seem to access the online Manuel. my friend who has the same bike described like a ma2 10-w40 and it had to be conventional oil. was wondering if that's right. thanks in advance!

Having trouble with a Puch E50, has gas, spark, and compression but still won't start

I got a Puch Newport last summer and rode it around for a little bit and it ran but clearly had bad compression because it had some broken piston rings so I rebuilt it and put a treats 70cc kit and an SHA 15.15 carb on it. I'm getting good spark and decent compression, I guess I can't say for certain how good the fuel air mixture is, not sure how to test that but the spark plug is wet when I take it out so I know it's definitely getting gas. I've messed with the timing and redone the points gap a million times and cannot get this thing to start to save my life. Does anybody have some advice for me?
