Buy my Moped
#1
Hey guys, I may be moving in the next set of months here and need to get this moped out of my ownership. Here's a link to the thread: <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.mmsports.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=11795">viewtopic.php?f=14&t=11795</a><!-- l -->

In a perfect world, I would love for this to go to someone who can bring it to the track and use it as a paddock cruiser, because it would be perfect for it. It would work for someone with a short commute as well though with a bit of work.

Here's the current deets:
2003 Kinetic TFR50
~2k miles

Good:
- It runs fantastically. Its a two stroke 49cc engine with a one speed trans, just twist and go, super easy to ride and always cuts on, even in the cold.
- I have recently disassembled the carb and cleaned it out as well as upjetted it. I have a set of various jets to go with it if you want to play with the A/F ratio some more.
- Minimal rust, frame is in good condition and shocks still work pretty well.
- Lots of tread on the tires still.
- High flow filter on the intake and new exhaust with expansion chamber for mo powah.
- New spark plug.
- Top speed on flat ground is around 25-30 mph. Downhill I clocked 40 once Confusedhock:
- Brand new belt.

Not so good:
- Biggest thing is it needs a new voltage regulator. That being dead has blown through most of the accessories (lights, horn, etc.) Haven't really had time to mess with it. You can pick one up pretty easily for $20-30 bucks if you wanted to fix it.
- Speedo worm gear fell out, so that doesn't work.
- The new exhaust could stand to be sanded and painted. came with cheap coating that burnt off and it has started to surface rust. Might just do this before selling since its like three bolts.
- Rear wheel is a bit bent. Not terribly noticeable but adds to the vibration a bit.
- No key, I have a secondary kill switch wired in at the moment.
- Front brake needs to be reattached. I've messed with it a bit but haven't had any success. When it worked it stopped quite well. Has drums on the front and rear.
- Likes to shake itself apart a bit, so a few bolts need to be tightened every once in a while if you're using it often and hitting bumps at full throttle like I do.

That's all I can think of right now, I'll update it if I think of anything else. I have title in hand and it is registered through the fall. Doesn't require a motorcycle license or insurance to ride. This thing is a lot of fun.

MM price is $100 so you have no excuse not to buy it! I don't have a way to transport it, so you're gonna have to pick it up :dunno: sorry.

Also a viable option is someone with a trailer or truck can swing through the burg. I'd rather keep it in the family though. It has a lot of character and I would miss it Cry

Why didn't you try to sell it at the car show?! I've spent a lot more money on a lot worse decisions than this; I totally would have brought it home with me.

Lies. I saw you take AT LEAST 5 seconds to stop and look at something.

Instead of buying old $500 luxobarges as projects you kids on here should buy this up, fix it and strap a huge shot of nitrous on it. What else could be a more fun project than that? If it blows up you can just roll it down the hill into the JMU lake

But you can't fit 5 people in it and throw a junkyard turbo at it. Why would you suggest a moped over a running car lol..

Because this moped is going to cost way less over time than your $500 POS. And bring way more smiles.
