holy crap. ballpark 500-600 up to 1000ish ? obviously sight unseen but that's a hefty ballpark! that's Mr Cambridge

Anyone know if bike shops do frame straightening work? Or some other specialists etc?
Aquired a new project bike which is twisted slightly but beyond me to fix myself.
-
Pretty sure they dont need vins. You prettymuch just fill in the mr2b and pay the fee? If it was regd as a bike previously then that could possibly be a hurdle but since its only 50cc and been on the road before, its a moped and doesnt need revinning or even an inspection for re rego.
Theres no moped code on the mr2b but its definitely in the computer system.
Nowhere on vtnz etc does it say anything about a re reg check.... Some of them are douches about it though
Rant over.

Japnese NOS points and chinese fake mikuni jets...hopefully a good mix!!
Raizer heres your pic of chinese jets...
And another awesome cellphone pic this time Japanese..
Need to suss this seat out finally

Plug is brown to dark brown at a chop currently so pretty sure its not lean
I've got a new set of points i should put in too, maybe the old ones cant keep the spark up, theyre pretty worn.
Unless im fanging it full the whole time its sweet..only thing is it needs fanging to cruise in traffic lol
-
jets are good, threads are perfect, nice brass and even have the mikuni logo on them lol.
I was a bit suss on if they are actually bigger - the factory 80, new 80,82,85 looks reeeealy similarly sized to me, but I got 12 - up to about 108 so heaps of room to increase.
-
Rejetted the carb today after my aliexpress jets arrived.
Previously, after I had the cylinder bored it would run quite lean and 'fourstroke' at full throttle (surge/die - if that's not fourstroking - lol)
id read that meant it was lean so upped the jet size.
Stock jet is an 80 (I had the needle set rich as possible too) so I went up to an 82 to richen it (needle back to centre clip) after the rebore - still wasn't enough according to a plug chop, so put in an 85.
the 85 runs nice at mid clip on the needle, but I dropped it another one just to see...then it started the surge/die thing again at full throttle...I haven't put it back to centre clip but I will tonight as it seems to run best there.
does 'fourstroking' happen when its too rich, as well as when its too lean at WOT?
ps. sorry all my updates have no pictures haha but who wants to see a packet of Chinese jets
-
that thing seriously sounds soo nice! i'm currently lightheaded on fumes after trying to listen to my 50 in the shed haha.

1977mopeds has crapload of sweet parts. But shipping sucks
But try fa50 ones they should fit. Heaps of parts on tm at the moment. They have choke, f&r brake and all lights etc

possibly a hijack.? ive got no idea on velobikes 'rules' but has anyone tried a petrol generator running an electric motor?
my mates dad used to have one of these flymos, tied a rope to the handle and dangled it down his super steep back section to mow where he couldnt push a wheeled one. they only sucked dragging them round when not running lol.

I just ali expressed my new jets, it was 9us including postage for 10 or 12 different mikuni sizes for my fr50. Super quick postage too which i was surprised by.
What was the exhaust worth?

Haha i did that with my 50 too, took it to bits and pluged one of the stator wires wrong when i reassembled it...took soo long to figure it out
-
i got chamber design and can fab one up, its for more low/middle range tho
Ive been keen on those MLM sidebleed pipes for ages, i'd run a silencer anyway.
Pipe sounds sweet I'll let you know if i go ahead with the mod, means ill have to cut my header. do you know anyone running one of the same design? Mine runs 55kmh at the moment but hasnt really been run in on the new piston/boring. Id be hoping for a little bit more topend too with a new pipe, but mid and low suits my commute which is only like 5km stop start all the way

Heres another one to feed your habit

Ps those double ruckus headlight off AE look pretty sweet on a scoot

Sussed this btw. Effing points...but sorted and starts first kick like a boss on hardly any choke. Finally.
Next on the list is the seat. The fa50 seat actually looks pretty cool on it after a random set-if-it-fits but still probably going with the seatbelt brat-style seat...when i get round to it
Then tail light...
Crustywhip you have dimensions on a chamber for these?
-
download a wiring diagram/manual??
don't those things spark without a battery anyway? ie the battery's only for the starter motor + regulating the lights/bulbs etc??
does sound fried though haha
-
apparently the yamaha jog is a fairly sought after CDI box for mopeds. theres a bunch of crap on 1977mopeds.com about it.
or theres the generic chinese 'blue box' without a rev limiter for about 15$ which are all over trademe
basic run through here http://www.tuningmatters.com/how-tos/beginners-guides/derestrict-50cc-scooter/
carb slide, air filter, carb intake, exhaust, cdi limiter...theres a few to check/suss out but none look too hard
-
Cheers for the info.
Found out a fa50 stator and flywheel will fit an fr50 if anyone cares for a future swap.
Also found that mine is fine....once the points are actually set properly....which is good i guess haha saved me a long think and a lot of wiring.
But yeah, fa50 flywheel fits the fr50 shaft and clears the casings, stator plate should fit too, didnt actually fit it into the fr50 but my quick measurements seemed like it would.

Like.
that boxy rear seat extension would look nice and café-y if you shorten the seat cushion itself?? and move it forward
low seat pad then kick it up to follow the extension angle at the rear.?
liking the build

Turns out its called ....a joint. Lol

Took a guess on the model but looks like it anyway. Should be able to find the part number on there and order it from your local

Motorbike frame straightneing??
in General Bike Chat

doesn't seem too bad, a twist in the top tube relative to the head tube/fork alignment . no doubt there's more to it than that though.
