Freshly Built? Fire it up, Break it in! - Tomos A55 LX (2/2) 

😂 yeah probably

100% greetings from Europe.

i have 2 tomos, one A3 and one A35

Good to know, thanks alot lol

Lol thank you. And I'm good with this tank.

Thank you

Did you mean load resistor?

They make 12volt capacitors for dirt bikes to ditch the battery(battery eliminator), or you can use an car audio amplifier capacitor(like a 2-10uf). They smooth out the voltage output from the stator by collecting electrons on a higher voltage output and releasing electrons on a low voltage output. But that is only if you do not want the blinking feature. Hell you could goto batteries plus and probably get a small battery to do the same thing.

I was going to suggest the same electrolytic at 25volts, at a guess 2200uf

​@@markopolo945no, a capacitor will help provide a voltage while the generator is at the off cycle, helping to fill in the off time. A resistor will drop the generator voltage making it work harder and will inevitably get hot when robbing voltage to the rest of the machine.

@aspectcarl thanks for explaining that before i could get it typed up This is a common practice on custom choppers Easyer to hide a capacitor than it is to hide a battery

Thanks, and the bars actually feel pretty fine. There's no real comfort sacrifice with using these bars as is (at least for my structure) and I might be weird but I really like the unusual angle of them visually.

Thanks

Definitely, the only trade off being I'm scared to park it anywhere but indoors lol.

​@@Theillestrator1050the simple solution is to always carry a bicycle lock (ulock through the wheel and around a shock or chain it to something), the other solution is to make it look too decrepit to be worth stealing. Cheers from someone whose uncle owns pretty much every model of Tomos (APNs and the BT50 are my favorite) and I'm considering buying one for myself to mess around with, thankfully if you snoop around villages you're likely to find cheap ones here. Also yes, all of them sound like they have a screw loose inside.

Thanks legend!

Good to know, thanks

Coming from you, that's really reassuring lol, thanks.

🥹

Thanks!

Thanks!

Gotcha thanks lol

😂 just gotta blindfold them that's all

Thanks!

@@Theillestrator1050 Missing one of your stickers.

I appreciate that, will do.

Definitely!

Thanks for watching

Lmao, it's the Bethesda way

Lol gotta step my game up, haven't gotten knee down yet! All good, thanks for watching.

They give such hooligan energy

They do. I had loads of two strokes in my younger days. Hi from the UK.

Thanks dude

Wow went from one of the fastest bikes to a Vespa. But I totally understand. It's like How often will you be going 190mph

😂 guess I better up my game! Haven't hit enough G's for it to be an issue at any point 😆. Understood on the preference, I was concerned with people not wanting TOO MUCH moped content. Thanks for checking it out.

Ah, well I've already run through ¾ gallon of it. Had no issues. But that was just to get started anyway. I've got Briggs and Stratton oil to mix myself now.

Lmao, if you live in the city, I can recommend it.

@@Theillestrator1050 that the issue i live in rural area that are linked by 50-60mph zones

Lmao "Thomas"

Yeah There's a whole subculture here with mopeds that's kinda punk or alt in nature. For us in NYC, "pasolas" or Chinese scooters are the bland cheap transportation. But vintage European mopeds tend to be more niche... But I can't speak for the rest of America. And yeah, most of the stickers on the bike are inspired by vintage race cars.

Some people throw Lifan Honda clone motors in these frames to get pretty close to that. It's usually looked down upon by moped enthusiasts though lol. Yes I've ridden a grom and z125 before. I think the acceleration on this bike is matches or maybe exceeds a 4 stroke 125.... until the top speed of course.

@@Theillestrator1050 Interesting. I didn't think about that. That sounds like a big project because you have to make sure the engine fits, use special tools, wire harness and other stuff like possibly converting carberated to fuel injection. I heard a 50cc 2 stroke is equivalent to 100c 4stroke and 2stroke moped are almost 100 lbs lighter than a Grom so no wonder they so close or tied in acceleration. Acceleration is what really matters on these minimoto for city riding. Thanks for the reply.

​@@MisterSal9895these things are crazy light, APNs barely exceed 60 kg and I doubt automatics are any different weight wise. Even in stock form they're loads of fun (although you should constantly keep an eye on the situation behind you because they aren't exactly quick). Still they use barely any fuel (if the carb float isn't stuck causing it to leak) and are insanely capable off-road, especially if you get better springs+shocks and knobby tires.

Thanks, and the comfort level is pretty standard. There's no real sacrifice with using these bars as is and I might be weird but I really like the unusual angle of them visually.

Used to be hella into motorized bikes and ebikes before I got my motorcycle. Had more close calls on those than I ever did on my motorcycle. Course, it wasnt until two months ago that I actually got hit. One car pulled out almost side swiping me, and then half a second later a car pulled out right in front of me and decided to stop on a green light. I applied the brakes, but with only 5-10 feet to come to a complete stop from 30, there wasnt much to be done. I faceplanted the back of the car and got knocked out cold before snapping both wrists and 11 ribs. and apperently while I was out cold the driver in front told their story to the cops and got me labeled as the one at fault. So, now I'm out a bike, and up two titanium wrist plates and a shitload of medical debt. Upside is my wrists are coming along nicely and already I have the strength to ride again. Just gonna have to wait until I can scrape togeather some cash for my next bike. I'm thinking sv650.

Fuckin hell.... I don't know if I'm glad or shocked to know you're not discouraged from jumping back on a bike. Im wishing for your full recovery.

😂

😂 sorry...

I'll tally it up and make a short or something. Unless my memory is shot, I think it might be just under $2,000 in parts.

Looks fun to ride sounds good too

Feels like its probably 40 on account of the sprocket. But I gotta do a gps run.

They're solid but from my experience you won't find them on anything Japanese or American. Unless they're rebadged bikes.

You are the coolest of us all

Lmfao

Not at all. The bike is like 100 pounds in any case.

@@Theillestrator1050 They look bent in like a Y The whole thing looks awesome though.

Lmao thanks
