MHVDM Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) Hello everybody! I would assume it's not often people come here and ask about Yamaha TZR50 issues. I'm brand new to bikes, this is my first moped I am learning, and I've owned it for about a year now. It has some issues that I want to look into. It has a prebought CDI tune, and I think this CDI has caused some issues for the bike (can't be sure though, I don't have the OEM CDI). The issue is at midrange RPM, the bike struggles getting up in speed, even on flat grounds, it doesn't gain any speed at all and just remains on the same RPM and sputters like it's getting too much or too little fuel. Possibly running too rich? (I have to shift down to get up in speed) How would I check on this, and do someone here have any tips and tricks I could use to check it out? I have tinkered a bit with it, pulled off every piece of the bike and engine that I feel comfortable with (max the carb). So I have tried to learn, but I couldn't figure out why it sputters. I also believe it's getting too much oil, it eats oil like crazy, compared to my other moped. Can this be adjusted too? I can't test drive it sadly, because the chain is too loose and it jumped off during driving one time. You guys here probably have a lot more experience than me, and asking you would probably be the best choice here.

Moderator Snakebite68 Posted March 19 Moderator Share Posted March 19 The first issue is safety, get that chain tightened! If you have an issue with a CDI, you're probably already into 'take it to the shop' territory... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE0 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 ...and if you can't tighten it...replace it, not expensive....and they don't last forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator drewpy Posted March 22 Moderator Share Posted March 22 if its getting too much oil, it'll never rev. the engine will 4 stroke as the plug fouls up. My friend had a aprillia RS125 and never revved it. brought it to me as it had no power and I just revved the arse off it out of gear till the plug cleared and it was good to go. you can't dawdle on those things, they are built to be anti social.
