March 5, 200916 yr Hi everybody I was woundering how i will know if a universal gear leaver will fit my bike. For example the ones on yambits How will i know if it fits the gear change shaft? Hope you can help --- Christian Hi Christian, most small yamaha's (of the time) used the same spline ... but I obtained a lever for my FS1 from yambits via ebay which fitted no problems. looking at the website I'm not sure which one I had ! Just out of interest what is a FS1 K1 ? In 1978 the current modals were FS1M or FS1MDX but there were a few preregistered FS1EA and FS1EADX's left kicking about ... the moped market was in turmoil at the time ... did you buy an FS1 or an RD or TY or DT and put up with the slower speed hence the term 'sloped' or go for the FS1E or EA to get the full power version ! Regards Jim
March 5, 200916 yr DT ... slower speed How very dare you!, my DT would run riings around your "push, pedal and pop" FS1...
March 5, 200916 yr Moderator DT and put up with the slower speed hence the term 'sloped' How very dare you!, my DT would run riings around your "push, pedal and pop" FS1... fight...fight...fight!!!
March 5, 200916 yr he started it... bet my DT is louder than yours , nobody likes it because "its too loud", but loud pipes save lives, atleast now they can hear me even if they can't see me.
March 5, 200916 yr Whats all this shouting ?, we'll have no trouble here ! this is a local shop for local people we'll have no trouble here! i wish theyd bring that back - bloody brilliant!
March 5, 200916 yr Moderator this is a local shop for local people we'll have no trouble here! i wish theyd bring that back - bloody brilliant! I live there, where it was filmed, Royston Vasey...aka Hadfield Theres a few nutters here who'll never leave
March 6, 200916 yr How very dare you!, my DT would run riings around your "push, pedal and pop" FS1... Put is back to totally std and I'll have the FS1E totally std and I wonder who would win ? The max design speed for the DT50mx is 30mph (the plate on the head stock should bear that out). The FS1E was not subject to that restriction, but had to be able to be propeled by pedals so a std FS would pull about 45. My comment sloped was the actual word used by the majority of 16 year olds in 1978 (the first year the restriction was in force) and not to a machine that is a long way from how it left the factory. Regards Jim
March 6, 200916 yr your FS isn't being piloted by an ultra-light, mindless, scrawny nutter As I only weigh just under 8 stone I guess I'm ultra-light and with regard to being mindless is that what we want on the road ? but if your DT is totally std (along with my FS) and we have a private road to put the 2 together (your insurance is invalid otherwise) we would see if the 30mph DT50 could out do a 45 mph FS .. as they came out of the factory, and just to make things correct i'll let my wife pilot the bike she was & is 7 stone and rode the old FS we have , and back in the late 70's and managed silly speeds on the roads of Worcestershire Regards Jim
March 6, 200916 yr my DT certaintly aint stock. expansion pipe, K&N filter, bigger sprockets, 60cc big bore kit. will do 50 easy now . with the old 50cc kit it would usually get to 40 and sit there, maybe even up to 45 if you went down hill and could get it up onto the powerband (last few thousand revs were usually the best) before leveling out im 55kg, a bit over 10st so... erm... kinda shat in my own slipper there
