Tuning motor


Why it is so important to engage the clutch at higher speeds on forced engines can be seen in the diagram. The use of racing exhaust systems, for example, increases peak power, but shifts the peak to higher rpm. But because of this, a failure occurs at low speeds.

The blue line shows a typical standard motor. It engages the clutch at approximately 4500 rpm. Maximum power of 4.5 hp is achieved at 7000 rpm. We call this point peak power rpm. The standard engine maintains a power of 4-4.5 hp on a very long “shelf” of revolutions of 5000-8000. The red curve shows the engine with a racing exhaust system and extended valve timing. The power of 8-9 hp here is achieved in a narrow speed range (8000-9500), but at the same time it is 2 times higher than that of a standard engine! Up to 5000 rpm, the standard engine has 1 hp more power than the tuning one. To overcome this failure, they make the clutch engage at 7000 rpm.

We hope that it is now once again clear that it is one thing to get an increase in peak power, and another thing to implement it correctly.

Payment via Portmone

Major clutch failures

Clutch adjustment must be made if:

  1. The clutch is slipping. This happens when the engine is turned on by the foot starter, as a result of which the moped does not start.
  2. The moped begins to move at the moment when the clutch is depressed, first gear is engaged and the pilot begins to accelerate;
  3. When you engage a higher gear and press the gas pedal to the floor, you hear a strong roar of the engine, its speed increases, however, the speed of the moped does not increase.

Payment via PayPal

After selecting payment via PayPal, the PayPal payment system will launch, where you need to select the payment method: bank card or PayPal account.

Working principle of automatic centrifugal clutch

As you know, the clutch is designed to connect and disconnect the engine and the drive wheels. When the clutch is engaged, the engine and wheels are connected, and the engine transmits torque through the transmission to the wheels. When the clutch is disengaged, the engine and wheels are disconnected, the engine continues to operate, but no torque is transmitted to the wheels. To connect the engine and wheels (via a gearbox), the clutch uses friction. Clutch discs or pads, rigidly attached to the engine shaft, are pressed against the gear disc and begin to rotate it using friction. In a mechanical (manual) clutch, powerful springs are used to press and create friction force.

This clutch is normally always engaged. To release the springs and disengage the clutch, you need to press the hand lever.

An automatic transmission uses centrifugal forces to press the pads down and create friction. When the engine is idling, the automatic clutch is always disengaged. The pads, rigidly mounted on the engine shaft, simply slide along the transmission disk, because the friction force is too small. Moreover, they are kept from contact with the disk and springs. As the engine speed increases, the centrifugal force increases, the pads begin to press harder against the transmission disc, the friction force increases, and torque begins to be transmitted from the engine to the transmission and further to the wheels. At the same time, the friction force increases smoothly, therefore the torque also increases smoothly. This explains the soft operation of the automatic clutch, because it is a kind of shock absorber for transmitting torque.


Most scooters have a chain drive from the gearbox to the drive wheel

This is how the clutch on a scooter works. But the transmission consists of more than just the clutch. Not a single engine in the world is capable of turning the drive wheel in one rotation of the crankshaft. In order for the wheel to make one revolution, the engine rotates the crankshaft several times. To ensure this, a gearbox is used in the scooter's transmission. Usually this is a pair of gears. The small one is rotated by the engine and turns the large gear, which transmits torque to the wheel. That is, for the large gear to turn once, the small one will turn along it several times. The ratio of the diameters of these gears is called the gear ratio of the scooter.

Most scooters have a chain drive from the gearbox to the drive wheel. The chain fits on two sprockets. The drive sprocket is located in the engine. The driven sprocket is located on the wheel. In this case, the gear ratio is the ratio of the diameter of these sprockets.

However, some manufacturers or tuning enthusiasts install a rear axle on a scooter. In this case, the gearbox is not located in the engine, but in the rear axle.

The gear ratio is changed not only by gearboxes, but also by the gearbox. In modern engines, a variator is used for this. It allows you to smoothly change the gear ratio smoothly and without jerking. It is this part of the transmission (variator) that the electric starter rotates when starting. However, electrics may not always work. The wiring or generator may fail, and the electric start will be unavailable. Then Kickstarter will help. The kickstarter device on a scooter is based on the use of muscle force. The kickstarter lever is connected to a gear sector, which, when you sharply press the lever with your foot, rotates the variator, and through it the engine.


The transmission is not only made up of the clutch.

Payment via WebMoney

Step-by-step moped clutch repair

Adjusting the clutch is a labor-intensive process, however, not that complicated. Even a beginner can handle this. So, in order to adjust the clutch, you need to follow several steps sequentially and carefully.


  1. Place the moped on the central leg;

  2. Find the chrome engine cover, which is located on the right side, and unscrew it;
  3. When the cover is removed, the adjusting screw and locking nut will be accessible;
  4. First, you should slightly loosen the lock nut, after which, using a slotted screwdriver, you should unscrew it until it can rotate freely and unhindered;
  5. Now you need to tighten the adjusting screw until it hits an obstacle and begins to tighten with light force. This position is correct;
  6. Now there is nothing left to do but secure this bolt from turning with a screwdriver;
  7. After this, tighten the locknut;
  8. Find the bolt on the clutch cable and tighten it until it stops. This way the clutch relaxes;
  9. After completing this procedure, you should bring in the moped and engage first gear. At the same time, do not forget that the moped remains on the central leg so that the rear wheel is suspended. The wheel will begin to spin;
  10. Now you need to find a position that will allow you to stop the spinning wheel with your hand or boot while pressing the clutch. If the wheel can be stopped in this way, then the work of adjusting the moped’s clutch is completed. If the wheel continues to spin and cannot be stopped, then you should follow the step described below;
  11. The location of the adjustment screw needs to be changed. To do this, you will need the same screwdriver as one of the tools.
  12. When the desired result is obtained and the wheel can be stopped by hand or boot, you need to tighten the lock nut and return the chrome cover;
  13. The final step is to unscrew the bolt located on the clutch cable until the clutch handle has a free play of 1 cm.

Problems when paying with bank cards

Sometimes difficulties may arise when paying with Visa/MasterCard bank cards. The most common of them:

  1. There is a restriction on the card for paying for online purchases
  2. A plastic card is not intended for making payments online.
  3. The plastic card is not activated for making payments online.
  4. There are not enough funds on the plastic card.

In order to solve these problems, you need to call or write to the technical support of the bank where you are served. Bank specialists will help you resolve them and make payments.

That's basically it. The entire process of paying for a book in PDF format on car repair on our website takes 1-2 minutes.

Types of clutch


The clutches of absolutely all vehicles work on the same principle - a friction force acts on several driving or driven disks, which allows the vehicle to move.

So, the moped clutch is divided into two types:

  • dry.
  • wet, i.e. those that require an oil bath to operate.

In addition, clutches are also divided by the number of driven discs:

  • single-disc or double-disc;
  • multi-disc.

As a rule, the first version of the disc clutch is always dry. But for the multi-plate clutch to operate, an oil bath is required, which is also common to the gearbox.
