Get a Diode and a Step up/down (buck-boost) converter, and eleminate that flicker. The flicker isnt good for the Leds, you give em AC, and it needs DC
@MopedRich
@MopedRich 4 месяца назад
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.

New to working on mopeds. So I’m slightly confused on what you did there. Did you just grind up that plate, which is the restrictor to get more speed?
@MopedRich
@MopedRich 2 года назад
The brass bushing in between is a restrictor, if you grind it down it can variate more and allow for more top speed.

I did it and my clutch still sliding ... whats the problem you think?
@MopedRich
@MopedRich 3 года назад
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.
@K405X
@K405X 3 года назад
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
