daaammnn a 450 motor or is it 250? too bad it cant make legit turns though

[CSBolger]

Sorry guys, I just don't get it.

[e30_fiend]

that ruck will never be finished. Every update I see on that thing, it looks exactly the same.

and CSBolger, whats not to get? Great gas mileage, almost unlimited aftermarket support, fun to ride and very customizable.

DC, so not that cold, and it's 75 degrees out right now.

I was on stock MJ until I swapped intake/pipe, but now I'm at an 85 and I'm topping out around 38mph with a brand new spark plug.

Well now Im second guessing myself, I bought a 78, 80 and 82 MJ thinking that would be enough. All I did was an intake though so I didnt think I would need to richen it very much. Im still waiting for the roller weights, variator and kevlar belt to break in but as of last weekend I hit 40 on a straight. I hit 40mph before so thats a good sign. No popping or bogging so far with the shim in the intake.

Little vid of my daily puch. speedo stops at 60. Needle goes over it until about 65 and the moped still accelerates then
Stupid wind in the mic but just to get an idea

[Stephen]

km/h? looks fun

[.:dutchtuner:.]

km/h
mph would be insane (A)

Yeah, it's looked the same for more than a year and a half.

It can't be very fun to ride with all the weight off to one side like that. I'm not sure how that's supposed to work. The NPS600 is a much more practical build, IMO.


EDIT: 210mm rear shock should be coming today. Lowest shock available. We'll see if it's daily ridable.

whats your weight? I want to try a lower shock for the rear but I dont know if it will be able to handle my weight. 250lbs FYI

[Grey]

I weigh like 170. I installed the 210mm Daytona over the weekend and it's the tits. Super low, super stiff, no scraping except when I turn right (aftermarket pipe), etc.

Bike is pissing me off though, no matter what I do it goes 40mph. 85 or 88 MJ, stock or KN variator, gapped or ungapped plug, 550 or 600ml oil, etc. 40mph. Shitty thing is it went 43mph stock. Maybe there's some maintenance item I'm missing....

[Stephen]

Maybe time for a new plug?
Edit: nvm. That's odd.. Did you just install a new var or belt?

[BreakMyWallet]

ive wanted one for so long! i was even gonna daily it 40 miles to school hha

[Stephen]

haha 40 miles would be a haul. They are a lot of fun though.

Ive got an intake coming in the mail, that i ordered like 2 months ago. Gotta read up on jetting now
