Just picked up my first moped the other day and definitely did not expect it to be so much fun! haha I wish the frame was cooler/more aggressive like some of the ones posted in this thread. I know it will not look too good but Im playin with the engine now trying to get a little more power out of it. These things are addicting!

I love when roommates just leave presents behind. For a while I wanted a ruckus, but I am now a big fan of this thread!

havnt been able to really run it it needs new sprockets and chainOriginally posted by DragginWagon View PostSo awesome. How's it go down the road?
hell yeah yours are awesome and yeah i plan on getting a round headlight i dislike the square one and ordered 27/22 sprocketsOriginally posted by IncorpoRatedX View PostDitch the headlight and go to something you can get a replacement bulb for, or carry spare headlight bulbs, they use an annoying euro bulb. bright as shit but when they burn out, you're fucked.
i've built a couple of targa's i like them.



this is my girlfriends sprint


then there's my bastard moped.

make sure you keep the trans fluid at it's proper level, and use the proper type. try not to go WOT uphill for 1 to 2 shifts, the bikes are awesomely reliable and do 40-45 with a basic pipe and an upjet, almost 50 if you grab a 28t front sprocket. I highly recommend going up a tooth in the front, it really makes 1st gear more useful.
Also, you have a 2007 so you're on CDI ignition, make sure you run a resistor plug, you can fit 2.5 inch tires on the stock rims without a problem.Last edited by btober; 09-14-2013, 07:55 PM.
