Hi Mark, love the videos. I've got an Aprillia SR50 Motard which is struggling to run, starts on the button but bogs down, I tried everything you've suggested and nothing solved it so I took the head off and the piston is quite worn so I've ordered a kit to re-build it but I can't find the torque for the head bolts anywhere, do you have to correct torque settings please? Many thanks. Dave
yea sorry i live on a busy road now and have to ride it as less busy time plus it wasn't mine but i did ride it and it rode much much better the the owner was very happy after i changed the plug thanks for watching bud
Hi Mark, I’ve just bought my son an SR 50 and we are slowly going over and resolving the issues and your videos are a great help ! One question on the carb is that we have just found one of the cooling water pipe on the carb has been blocked off, do you know of any reasons why this would have been completed ? Thanks again for the great videos 👍
Mark love your videos , can’t wait for the crappy direct bike video as I own 1 at the minute ,abit tight on cash lol . Just keep the videos coming there great. 😁 👊🏻
@@marksavage I got a Aprilia SR50R and when you seat on bike it’s like it don’t want to go even with high revs, Does that mean clutch has gone??? Get back to me please👍🏻
@@Ryan-Batty-1994 start bike up and see what's going on You can run these with the engine cover off !! I have a video showing this But yea sounds like your right
Hi Mark, I've got another issue with the bike indicating its overheating .. When idling it gets uptp three bars on the temp gauge very quickly and will then stay there, however when you take the bike on the road it will sit between 5 bars and even flashing when riding very steady. Apart from the temperature the bike seems very responsive and no issues at all. I've pulled the return pipe off the radiator and when idling you can see the water (coolant) at the pipe and when applying additional revs the water builds pressure and is clearly flowing, so i believe this would indicate the pump and thermostat should be ok as we are seeing a flow of water ? What are you thoughts on the possible issue ? I'm thinking possibly temperature sensor or blocked radiator ? I'm not sure what the water temperature should be when at three bars but when coming out it is luke warm at best i would have expected it to be significantly hotter than this at 3 bars Thanks in advance for help and looking forward to seeing the new videos.
Hi Mark Ive been following your RU-vid videos for quite some time now.We have just bought a SYM SYMPHONY 50cc moped,the problem is we did not get the owners handbook.Could you please tell me what engine and gearbox oil to use,I am having problems finding out Thanks Steve.PS year (2011)
Do you know which rollers I should buy for an aprilia sr 125 motard? Measurements in mm, also the brand (polini, malossi etc), also do you know what the original weight of the rollers are, so I can choose the right weight? any help appreciated thanks
Hello mark I’ve watched most your videos and your a bit of a genius and as a last resort I thought I’d message in hope of my answer.I have a wk 50 ttr 2022 and the orange light keeps coming on and keeps cutting out uphills.it runs slightly better after 30 minutes of riding but has zero legs once I hit a hill.il take any advice about now.cheers mark
hi bud , have you looked what the orange light says it is ?, its 4t so no 2 t oil to mess with , are you using e5 fuel and not that rubbish e10 , yes i know you can use it but i wouldn't as in my e10 video on here . its not very old so to be fair i would go back to the shop and ask them whats up with it , you have check the engine oil but as under warranty i'd be going to see them bud
Hello again mark I took my bike back to where I bought it and it’s apparently needs a new throttle body but could take months to come in as coming from china.I have no warranty as had it so cheap.checked the oil changed the petrol but still cuts out when going up hills or when first riding.I know your probably a very busy man but I thought I’d ask someone who knows what there talking about to solve my problem and suggest where I go from here as iv lost all patience with it.Thanks mark jack
@@Bluebird104 hi bud , its going to be hard to sort as it does sound like you efi /cdi problems with the light that keeps coming on , so lets look , as it cuts out on demand so as you give it some up hill its fuel . you could check carb and clean up the bowl and clean up jets , check float make sure fuel is getting in cart remember if your was 2t of 4t ? wait for get all that 4t efi so no carb as such you cant control any of it bud im sorry to say !!!# maybe last resort , drain out all fuel and use E5 super
Never touched them , I've bought , serviced and fixed 1000s of moped , scooters and bikes , even cars and trucks like the f150, dodge ram But no never them Too much money and sellers and owners know their stuff. No cheap fixes lol
Thank 4 such useful videos. I've a question , my Aprilia 50cc sr 2017 dosent go up hill. And after 5 min ridding it lose power and become very weak witch hardly gose 35 kmh. I bought new belt and nothing changed. What could be prob, thanks
@@marksavage Thanks 4 reply. yes did clean the variator but the rollers not looking that good do the rollers effect? If yes what weights rollers should i buy? Do You have any video for Tune carb and check auto choke?
Hey i have a question about my moped Its speed fight 2 and the problem is that it vibrates when i want to drive and blue color comes out the exhaust and smells different. Do you maybe the problem?
hi mate. I've got a 2015 speedfight 3 125 totally standard. never had a problem. your videos suggest they're not very reliable. should I sell and get a more reliable 125. any suggestions. also can't find many modifications for the speedfight. cheers
I have had a sp3 125cc Not said they are bad bud and better than most other 125cc I'd keep it bud Easy to ride just twist and go Now the sinnis I'm working on today Thats a pile off poo pmsl What i do say is you can't get parts !! As for mods rollers and variator
*I'm running 33g total on 'rollers' and hitting just under 40-mph top-end* *BUT...on downhill steep grade, a 'hyper-drive' kicks-in and it'll 'pin the speedo' very fast...too much for a Honda Metro!* *What do you think the story is?* *Rollers too heavy or what?* ( *There were 'Dr. Pulley Sliders' at 31g total before I had to make repairs from worn parts, and I usually hit 41-42 before the parts needed replacing, like little plastic 'Guides'/new Kevlar belt/new clutch-pads & springs/and new 'Polini' rollers* )
they will always go faster down hill bud, i use 36gin total and always found it to be the best all round bud, the plastic guiders also need replacing bud for sure and will help a lot! good clean after and make sure the belt it good and you should hit higher flat speed
@@marksavage *Everything is properly clean, parts are virtually new, rear-wheel turns slowly at idle on stand...but steep down-hill I can actually FEEL the 'push' kick-in, not just ordinary acceleration!* *As-if some 'hidden-gear' kicked-in!* *They are all 'highest-quality' parts and 'Honda-approved'...so I'm more than a little confused as it never used to occur in the 4.5 years I've owned it*
@@gerrynightingale9045 oh so its a new thing!, how odd and its not on a aprilia . as said it is normal to get more down hill but if its only started this your best to take it all off again and have a good look over it bud
@@marksavage *I've done that already and found nothing 'odd' going on....but something tells me it's the rollers because all the new parts are duplicates of what was there to start with except there were 'sliders' before instead of rollers* *I'll likely order a new set of 'Sliders' soon and duplicate the system 'as it was' at exactly 31g total and then see what happens where I 'topped-out' at 47-mph on a very steep grade which would be a rare event anyway...'50++' is just too fast and I think that much rpm is not 'healthy' for the engine or the power-train either and the Honda 'Metro' is 'old-school' with drum-brakes that work fine as long they are not subjected to constant hard use that causes 'glazing' on the pads* ( I think Honda still uses 'drums' because in the Far East and elsewhere, there are no 'repair shops' and hydraulic brake-fluid is very difficult to get as well...and likely that's the same reason the 'liquid-cooling' system was dropped as well on newer models in favor of 'air-cooled only' because it's simply too sophisticated for places like India and Viet-Nam)
My clutch is making a ringing sound i ride it down the road it just bogs down.Is my clutch going bad I'm getting get sick of mopeds I tried everything a new carburetor a new air box new roller weights and now this.I just can't get a break from my moped I hope it's my clutch not nothing else cuz that can be replaced easily
Mark is there eny way u can help me with some thing I've got a problem with my rev going up hills with my speed fighter 2 100cc 2005 and my speedo drive
i have a few videos on sp3 and a new one on a sp4 125 worth a look but what have you done so far to fix it ? variator , rollers , belt , clutch , sports exhaust , up jet all will help bud
IF THE HOLE IN THE STAND HAS GONE OVAL . WELD A HEAVY DUTY 1.5MM THICKNESS .STAINLESS WASHER WITH THE SAME HOLE SIZE ,JOBS A GOODUN :) JUST DRILL OUT THE BROKEN BOLTS AND USE A HELICOIL AND A NEW BOLT :)
I forgot to press record again!! It was the kick start The little push out part was loose luckily, I just took it out as they didn't have the kick start outer part Yes carb and engine much better Thanks for watching bud
@@marksavage Awesome, have the exact problem with the rattle on my SR50. Have all the parts but cant figure it out, i need to put the glasses on and have a another look at it. Many thanks all the way from Sweden ;)
yes but 2t is 2 stroke , the carbs are different and the set up too , as in my videos and i have a few on this its normally too much fuel and if the engine is serviced otherwise air mix
@@marksavage cheers .got a sinning apache turned it into off road wee man sits on front but sometimes in a situations where need sudden power to get out a situation beeeerrrrrr just no power kinda cuts we fall off v slowly mind you. Kev slow and then fast its fine think going up a pilot jet have levelled the floats
odd as my newer videos are much better and no one else has moaned , maybe watch it on a tv or turn your volume up i watch every video i do and its fine in some of my old videos it wasn't great !!
Not this one lol All sorted and off the lad rode !, but agree the early ones omg just a would of pain I only did a few before I realised they were bad !
@@marksavage hi mark yes I remember a few chaps had them they was quick but bloody hell parts wasn’t cheap at all back then aerox all the way fingers crossed my parts come next week great job and nice camera BTW
@@kayone8571 got a funny one coming out in a bit lol Yes fast but just didn't stay running ! But the good old aerox just kept going Well until they didn't Ha ha Take care bud Let's see if the new stator solves your problem
