Sucks po's are after ya on the battlepig. I'm not sure how the laws work out on that beast either. I would definitely be wearing a helmet on that monster though. I've lost too many friends to head injuries to not wear a helmet on anything i ride(snowboard, freebord, moped, motos, etc..)

The motozuki looks rad ass! I've been on the hunt for a ts50(or any other shifty fifties) for a while. I know they make a big bore 70cc kit for the ts50's engine also some solid chambered exhausts.

A utube vid of a ts50 with 70cc kit riding around. Sounds soo good!;

here's a parts fiche for the ts50. Still hunting for a shop manual for ya.

Definitely keep us posted in here! I'm not worried one bit about thread jacking.

This is the Shredped Sanctuary!!! And the motozuki is most definitely worthy of more updates in here!!

he said "i THINK its illegal, mopeds arent suppsoed to ( i ignored after this schpiel) cause the pig does NOT fit the description of a moped, motor assisted cycle, motorised bicycle or scooter. so methinks he was fishing for a reason afterwards. only thing he had me on was helmet. ( since taken care of that. using my old tortoise shell i had with my HD which IS DOT approved

Yeah that's bunk.. popo's around here like to mess with people(college town), but they're reasonable if you aren't acting like a fool. Been pulled over once while tuning the ped around the neighborhood. Didn't have my helmet or my license on me haha. Told him my name/info and that i was just tuning the moped up(was on my gf's 88 tomos TT). He was cool, said, "I believe ya, I'll run yer name to make sure you aren't a axe murderer from CA." We laughed and he went back to his cruiser. Came back and said all was well, just go home and get my helmet. I quickly thanked him and w/o hesitation asked if it was OK to ride home. He just as quickly shut me down with a stern, No. Then i asked if i could pedal it home w/o the engine, a look of confusion came over his face, after which he replied, "errr I don't see why not.." I pedaled that beast right in front of his cruiser to get some dash cam footage for them to laugh at later. Good times.. Wish i could see that footage haha

A quick fly by of my brother on the LTD;


I recorded some more gopro footy, and plan on doing more riding this week which i'll film. Will post a new vid soon

Could get copies of that later on if its in their archives

May end up letting the pigs sister go, that or sell the shifty fifty out from under it, to finish the goped repairs. if i let the 50 go from it, ill find an mv50 basket case and build it up as time permits

hmm may let the shift fifty go. found these on ebay

all id need to locate would be a crank, piston rod and carb = new engine

Ah that's what's so good about mopeds/gopeds. No paperwork for dmv to catch you flipping parts and peds like crazy. I've parted/sold 10 peds so far in the past year and a half. Got another parting right now. 1 on the burner to ether fix or part and a handful more waiting for attention.

a puch mv50?? those things are crazy good looking! If you ever need moped parts, just shoot me a PM. Mopedarmy is full of good parts and people, if you can stomach sifting through the stupid amount of trolls.

Just brought my first shifty fifty home saturday. a 1983 Yamaha RX50. 50cc, 5 speed, cruiser style(19" front rim 16" rear). Same engine as the YSR50 so performance parts are out there! Only a couple thousand imported to raffle off as incentives for yamaha's bigger bike sales. From what i've read. it was never mass produced and put on the lot, but they ran them overseas as the Rebel 50's. They imported 2 color black(more rare) and red/maroon. Mine is in rough shape, and will probably see a new tank and seat config by the end of the project. I've made a deal with myself that i can't touch any of my moped projects until the GS is gotten lots of work. So the RS will chill in the shed until, then will get cleaned up, bar swapped with something sitting around and rode as in for a while. Then complete tear down fix rusting and put a new style tank and seat on it.

Only photo i have of it. Not even going to take good photos of it until I'm closer on the GS;

gotta love it when a ped/bike can fit sideways INSIDE a vehicle with doors closed Eh?. Hell my goped wont fit, cause handlebar has been doweled, and wont fold. but LOADS stiffer

For sure! The look on sellers faces when i pop the tailgate to start loading them up is priceless haha

the motobecane. ( COMPLETE) fit inside a mazda tribute.  aka ford escape/mercury mariner  only had to fold down back seat fit easily

If your looking for moped parts got to www.treatland.tv I think I have a motobecane cylinder laying around somewhere. No piston but its yours if you cover the ten dollar flatrate box. I just sold a av7 wish I had known there was gs moped enthusiasts.



Run starting my 70cc reed valve. needle valve got stuck and I flooded the cylinder and chamber.

Nice nab! I'm stuck on mopeds for sure. Can't tell from the photos, puch? kind of looks like a general tank though. Got any better photos/info?

Got more time in the shredped shop this weekend. Up on the list was my brothers '99 tomos ttlx. I promised him i'd finish it out for his graduation present. Here's a photo of it when i picked it up, she has been dubbed the Rusty Hornet;


His Rear mag that came with it had tossed its bearing and destroyed the mag. Pulled a spare spoker out of the parts bin, and installed a new tire/tube. Had to modify the brake plate to catch its stop on the swing arm. Got spacing right and installed the chain. Next was to refresh the clutches. First gear's cork friction material was shot and starting to fall apart. Grabbed a complete plug and play clutch i bought off a Mopedarmy member, only to find out he shipped me a clutch with 2 second gear clutches.. Luckily I had a set of brand new first gear clutch shoes. After wrestling the spring for a minute got it all back together and ready to install.

I've never pulled a a35 transmission, so after quick safety meeting and some reading I headed back down to the shop. After failing to get the trans lined up a couple times.. I got it all put back together, then realized i had 3 types of ATF, but no type F that's recommended for the corked clutches.

Did a couple small quick things; cleaned the 15mm carb and reinstalled it, replaced broken brake switches, and installed pedals

Here's the only photo i have after some work;


Also got a second to work on swapping the clutch over on my 2 speed noi. Unfortunatly I can't use the aftermarket BRN clutches in the 2 speed w/o a lot more work. The clutch hub on the aftermarket clutch is too thick to fit No time to try and find a NOS first gear clutch rubber. It would be so damn purdy in there too;

I have always been fond of tomos, not sure why most of the moped community has some disdain. I know none of it stems form reliability I have never had an a35 let me down. Must be the vintage part or something. I'll snag some more pictures or magnum, all ratty as it sits now. Friend of mine just picked up a tri-ped ill see if I can snag some pictures of that too.

Almost got the piglet started yesterday via push starting in 2nd maybe 3rd gear. she was wanting to my inner techie says carb needs thorough cleaning

My magnum, just picked up another ped, Its orange and awesome. Ill get picks up soon

methinks i may keep the pigdeux. spark was weak today. yet strong other time. so straighten teh electrical clusterflÜck  and clean carb and go forwards.

Looks fun nab. Have only had 1 puch, and it was rough so i parted it to help build my honda hobbit up. Going to be looking for one after i finish the current projects

I feel ya yama on electrical clusters!! Finally gave up on trying to get the cdi ignition to cooperate with the points wiring harness. I pulled the cdi off and replaced it with a points setup off the other engine. Going to finish it up tonight hopefully, would love to have another runner. Didn't think it would get to me, but i'm sick of broke projects haha

A while back I pulled a dumb move on the rx50 project and put my aux tank on with 2 stroke mix. Forgot the rx still had a oil injector.. Swapped gas and kicked that thing at least 50 times before i gave up. Was in the shed today looking to see if i had a part, and decided to kick the rx50 over again. Started second kick and idled great!! then i ran out of gas in my aux tank..

Pumped to be stoked today. My new clutch rubber for the 2 speed garelli will be here. New cdi ignition for my brother project will be here  by this weekend

WTF?!?!?!?!, my motobecanes ts50 engine has an oil tank. could thias be the case? ( am using premix as it is

If its got oil in it, that's definitely not helping!! I didn't swap my plug just let it dry off and it worked. So it sounds similar to your spark issue as well.

whati mean is, the engine is a suzi ts50. cap on crankcase for oil. same situation?

fackin a, it IS oil injected lol. okay time to drain the tank back into the goped can
