How do you find the steering damper, My Z50r is very light in the steering, something like this could be good when wanting to wave at people, lift my helmet visor, etc

Half my class was away today so I put a couply videos up at the end of the lesson. Interval the kids were talking about stealing shopping trolleys and asking me for moped bits.... ... So good to see them wanting to be creative

Got an OG leg shield for this old girl, it had some cracks,I welded them up withmy temu plastic welder thingy.. still lookin for a rear rack

I have to admit, when I first saw this thread, I thought that you were 3d printing a plastic engine, as a model and lost interest, but I have come back a few times and holy hecka- how many hours are you into this project? Mind Blowing

@Tumeke thanks boss.. better get fabbing something until I can find a real one

Last weekend I began to tidy the garage and wheeled this out. @Hunterkiwi01 had faffed about with it the week before for me (removed engine brace and juggled the spark plug boot) It started 3rd kick, ran for 30s and died. Once I get the slugs Gremlins sorted, this will get headlights and a tail light. It appears there is an indicator swicth (with wires) which will allow me to enjoy 2 stroke life with @Hunterkiwi01 and 'his' FR50. Cunning Lil bugger sold his FR50 to a mate who stores it at ours so he can come on group rides (but never has) and told him to take it out for a ride now and then to stop it chooching up from sitting. The owner came by on Saturday to look at his bike and @Hunterkiwi01 had taken it to his mates up the road to help him do an exhaust swap for his CT, but he can show you how thats gonna look on his C100 (It is sick as fuck)

Outstanding in the field!

So last night I went for a night ride I realised the previous owner must have used a wiper switch for the headlight. The light was intermittent as fuck (i never noticed this in daylight) I ripped it down and noticed sparks coming from a jiggly earth wire on the bulb holder. I told the bike I was disgusted and went to bed. Tonight I did lots 1) fix jiggly wire. No sparks 2) test voltage at bulb, 6v bike, 12V at idle, 30V when at 'annoy neighbour revs' 3) fit 25ohm resistor (@raizer)in series with headlight circuit.. still getting 24V 4) have a beer and a think 5) jeremy suggested earth issue so I made a piggy back to earth to frame. Now Im getting 2.4V at medium RPM 6) Call Moray (@mo99) He got me doing wizzy things with multimeter and looking at wires Suggestion is charging coil is chooched I have a parts motor I will pull one off and give it a hoon. Pray for me, this is all new for this fella

Hi Gaz, it was great to see this bike (and you) at the Ride of Remembrance, I got a pic of it parked at the start but cannot find it on my phone.

Here she is

she was stalling a lot at the lights, hard to start when warm, I have been told (by Barry at the petrol station)this is either a buggered condensor or the coil has a crack in it? I did some google foo and it could have been my valve clearences were too tight, this made them not close fully. As I have tools (but no condensor points or coil to replace) I adjusted them valves up to the looser end of the scale and it kinda helped, Idling is more even and it idles for longer without stalling. There is no tappet noise so I am happy for now However she is still hard to start at times, I do wonder if the rings are tired, although she does get up to 60kmh with no smoke Next up is ordering points, coil and condensor as I bet these are original, the tyres and tubes were. I do think the clutch is a bit stuck as sometimes she lurches when I put her into 1st then stalls and now and then she doesnt find 3rd (false neutral) when changing up, or 2nd when changing down (I have adjusted the clutch but it only helped a bit) Still looking for a leg shield and a rear rack, or else I will make a rack for her BUT I bit the bullet and rode her to School today

Well i fixed the light @mo999 noticed my exhaust had melted the rubber on my ht lead.. was likely shorting. Cable tie to hold it off zorst helped a lot

@Beaver the tap I have is just a tap, no vacuum, but yes I remember those woes with the fa50 Right now the lights only work when the bars ate between 10 and 20 degrees right of centre, so I rode the FR50 today and will find the loose connection tonight Its a funny old world with these things

She did the Scooter Safari! Here is my vid over porters pass

Well I got a resistor similar to what you showed me @Raizer I will plumb it in series with the headlight I guess. I have neglected this beast due to scooter safari, but it started 1st kick last night. I will do a 10km ride on it tonight then ride it to work tommorow Its currently getting 55kmh on the flat Brake light is not working. I have a new switch somehere Tail light is fine Does anyone have a c50 leg shield for sale
