Does it have the under seat storage box, too? It's a cool bike it feels comfortable to ride. I'm not sure about a long ride, I didn't get to take it on a long ride.
Hey Rich how have these pads been holding up and have you found an alternative to the glue or heard of an alternative to the glue? I've heard of people using JB weld Marine epoxy.
@@MopedRich Okay well thank you for your quick reply. I love your channel and I also watch Travis tutorials moped problems and I was referred to this video from CornPed
I heard that as well. The tomos has a rectifier that I believe converts AC to DC. The flicker didn't happen in person, or at least can't be noticed by the eye. The campera at 30 fps picks up the flicker.
Hello Rich, I'm building a 1978 Vespa Grande and I am looking for some parts like the 3 covers, snowflake wheels, and some small parts. I was wondering if you had any Grande parts or if you can give me some leads to where i can find them. Thank you. Keep up the good work and please make more Vespa moped videos
@@jeffreyheath3382 thanks for the kind words. I used an angle grinder with a grinding disc. I grided the brass down till it was flush with the cheeks of the variator.
I have the same issue and im going nuts trying to figure out why- i replaced the gasket but nothing chanced. im so glad ive found your video_ Thanks a bundle :-)
Which town? this was a nice one to build, didn't take me as long, it was nice to have all the parts I needed on hand. It's in a new home in NJ I think.
is it the 1st, 2nd, or both slipping? If it's 1st, then it might be the bearings behind the kick start cog. I would have to find a picture of it. Had this happen to the bike I was working on when I made this video. I thought it was the clutches and after re-ligning them in these videos, it still slipped. I kept tinkering with it then I found out it was those bearings that were not catching and making the 1st gear engage, the bike would only engage on 2nd gear. This would make the take-off extremely slow until that 2nd gear hit.
If you are using original clutch pads in a kitted bike odds are they will be eaten out easily, my 1st gear was powerfull until i put a 70cc and now 1st slips, bought new cork pads, still havent installed em tho
@@kennethwilliams1416 I like the mid-drive option the monday motorbike has. It also comes with moped mag wheels not only spokes. I have not had the chance to test ride the Monday but do hear good things about it from other moped friends who have ridden it.
Hey man! New moped rider on a '78 Grande and looking around these are some of the best videos I've been able to find about working on the bike which exciting because I want to use it as an opportunity to learn some engine work. Thanks so much and if you end up making any new Vespa or especially Grande specific content, know that at least one dude out in Brooklyn will be completely psyched.
according to the Tomos manual, you insert the spring clip area first then pry the rest of the spring on. In the image on the manual, they are using a vice to hold the clutch while they use both hands to get the spring on.
@@rccl4487 Ill try to get my hands on a clutch and see if i can figure out a trick, but it does make sense the performance spring is going to be a bit harder to get on there.
