Actually, yes, this FA50 was actually filmed with a dead battery. You need a battery (dead or alive) installed to act as a relay for the electrical system, but you wont have a horn or headlight without a working battery installed. I've currently got it stored in my garage where I intend to do a complete rebuild on the engine. For a guy that drives crazy cars almost every day, I have a blast when I'm on this thing. I'll never sell it...ever.

I bought one brand new for $475 back in the day. It got me two winters college and a summer job between. One of the best investments I've ever made.

I have one of these, I wish it could go faster than 30 but oh well, it was a good introduction to engines and motors and helped get me into cars and bikes

One of those got me around my first year of college. I can't recall it had a kick-start though.

Exhaust port needed to be cleaned frequently, about once per month to keep it running at max top speed of about 33 mph. Not a difficult or time consuming job. Took only about 15 minutes to remove cylinder, poke out carbon from exhaust port and put back together. Great memories owning that old Sazook

Rossi needs to race one of these in the GP event :D My dad said he remembered going to school on one of these.

I had one of these.... an 84 model i believe. I had a shop take the muffler off and cook out all the carbon buildup and the thing went pretty good. I recall it going close 35 mph on flat ground and definitely 40 downhill.

My dad bought one of these in 1984. He used it for work for about two years. About 20 miles round trip. No helmet, no insurance, no safety anything. I'm amazed he survived. I still have it in my shed. One day I'll get it running, but California now wants it insured and registered. Lame.

Autozone has breather filters that fit right onto the air inlet tube. I had the same missing piece of my air cleaner so i replaced the whole assembly. Good call on the synthetic case fluid. 300ml you don't need the full 500ml. I've got mine to 32mph with minor tuning

the best thing about my fa50 was the separate fuel and oil tanks; a two stroke motor scooter that would mix the gas and oil by itself!

I have a 1980-81 FA50 I wanna put some money into. Its in next to perfect condition. Prob just needs a good check up at a mechanic. What would the weight limit be? It says 175 under the seat but i know it can hold more. Im 220 and it would take me going 35 mph easily. Just wanna know if theres a possible way of making it able to support more weight?

By the sound and the smoke it's obviously a 2 stroke. You don't put oil in the crankcase of a 2 stroke engine so you might want to find out where they put that synthetic oil. I'd guess the transmission unless they put it in the oil injection system for the engine.

Yep, I had an 84 shuttle and it too would work just fine without a battery as the kick starter got it going everytime.

No. I actually don't ride...this is as dangerous a two-wheeler as I'll ever pilot. I just know I can get myself into enough trouble with four wheels, I'm not interested in seeing the kind of trouble I can find with only two wheels.
