If you're like many owners, you'll get tired of cleaning out the openings in the Gurtner carb with a few strands of copper wire and will end up putting a Dellorto carb on there.

On the right side is the flywheel, and underneath are the points and timing cam. The nut holding on the flywheel is called the Novi nut, and is the source of frustration for many new owners. It loosens to the RIGHT! You can use a 3/8" socket wrench to fo in the opening, but holding the flywheel still is the challenge. Earlier I mentioned getting a piston stop, which is the best way of stopping the flywheel. It works on every variety of moped and is well worth the $10 in my book. You can get one at www.quarterkick.com as well as other sites. They're out of the cam/clutch puller, another inexpensive, but almost required tool for Moby owners.

It differs from a typical 50V in the following ways

the luggage rack is painted

the rear fender support is different

the toolbox side covers are painted with that M sticker

no tank badges, just Motobecane logo painted on

painted front fender

I also haven't seen a typical 50V come in that color.

Just my observations, I am pretty sure its a traveler.

DING DING DING DING DING DING

i just checked the photos and you are correct..

so i'm guessing it will be hard to find the side covers for this bad boy, eh?

I'm sure 50V sidecovers would work.

BE REALLY DAMN CAREFUL PUTTING THAT MUFFLER BACK ON

iTS ALL FUN AND GAMES TILL YA STRIP THE THREADS.

Nice bike tho. I like it.
