well i just checked and oops! i forgot to mention the colour change when i registered mine, its down as black/silver. When i got it it was just pure black (badly sprayed) and under that was neon pink and yellow so it looks like the last 7 owners didn't bother to register the changes either.

its now army green with white and red rockets on the side

i cant see that it really matters

General Discussion / cvt/clutch cover kick start spring help needed
« on: August 28, 2012, 09:56:11 PM »
Hi all

I finally managed to get the clutch cover off (by opening a serious can of whoop ass with the rubber mallet) and unrestricted my moped and now have some awesome extra speed (very happy)

However due to me thinking it might have been causing a problem i removed the circle/spring clip from around the kick start, this was dumb and the kick start post sunk in and the spring loosened and its all screwed up now, if i take it off altogether will it be easy enough to get it back on properly so the kick start works again or will i need some special tool to compress the spring?

as usual any help very much appreciated  ;D

@ wordslinger, yeah in the UK, not sure of the laws your side, i think its restricted in the uk because 17yr olds arnt allowed to ride more than 50cc but im deffinitly not 17 anymore, so it needs to be de-restricted



@peters, thanks but im not sure you read my actual issue, ive seen many vids on how to change the boss, that all looks easy and straight forward, the issue im having is removing the crank case cover to get to it, for some reason it doesnt want to come off!

Ah hope us shoulder gets better soon dude. No boss isn't de-restricted. I have a de-restricted boss to install that's why I'm trying to get the crank case off. Think I may have to get my local mechanic to do it. As for the rpms I'm not sure. Seems standard, not redlining at all. Hence trying the cdi. Ill have another crack at the cdi with the kitchen knife tomorrow and see if I get any further

Mines a 2000. My cdi isnt like that. If you do a forum search for "YouTube cdi " I posted some pics of mine there,  the most annoying thing is the crank case. I removed all the bolts but the bloody thing wouldn't come off. What speed do you get out of yours?? Are you on the UK?

Lol wordslinger. You need to google it. Tank girl is awesome. Read the comics. It was done by Jamie Hewlett, the dude that did Gorillaz. Anyhoo its standard apart from the paint. So 27mph Max (lame) working on de-restricting it but I can't find the bloody copper wire in the cdi and for some reason I can't get the crank case off to install the new boss .....any suggestions much appreciated

@streido, lol yeah weighs less now, are there any guides on doing the jets btw, ive no idea where they are or where to start but im good at following guides (unless the damn copper wire doesnt exist :P)

@Skippy, i am really tempted, it would be nice if there was a pic somewhere of the board before it had been covered in the rubber stuff

@blue, its just a load of rubber resin, nothing to worry about, end of the day if i bugger up the cdi ill just have to drop a few quid on another
