you can also put the clutch in a clutch puller with washers spacing it away from the back plate so you don’t mess up the starter material and put the puller in a vice if you need to hold it firmer

Thanks, for the help. Def appreciated.

Honestly the heaviest ones that come with it are the best for performance in my opinion. Best for launch and longevity. The pads tend to crack or break off with too much slip to engagement. But that could be my experience.

🤔. Really?

Maybe on a tomos….but I tried heavier springs on an e50 with a heavily ported treats reed kit. Everything I tried above the heaviest springs it came with just slipped too much…..I felt. Maybe I did not try enough. I only tried red and yellow gy6 springs.

white malossi springs really are a greatest hit for the e50s and also aren’t bad on a tomos but i LOVE how with the red GY6 springs allow the motor to stay at like 7k shifting between 1st and 2nd gear. it makes pulling hills a breeze. i also run a 14PHVA on that setup so maybe if you got a larger carb, that could be part of it?

we used some both yellow and red malossi springs on an e50 Gila tm24 race bike this year in the last race of the season at MopedGP East in my friend Dickie’s bike and the swap from yellow springs to red was enough to get him to the top of the podium for the first time ever. i took the bike for a very quick spin and i have to say the launch was fucking sick (not two speed tomos sick cuz nothing will ever be that sick)

anyways as y’all saw, i put some white malossi springs on an e50 jammer yesterday and will conduct some tests with my GPS speedo to see how good take off is on flat and up a decently graded hill (it’s technically a walking path footbridge but it’s pretty steep, i’ll get an actual pitch grade off it maybe?) i’ll report back with what RPM the clutch engages at too, but yea, i HATE those stupid stock springs that come with Jammers, i basically throw them out immediately :)

i like to BLAST, like leave cars a football field behind you when the light changes sorta stuff. we also get to ride in the bike lane here legally in MA, so that take off is so needed for turning my 15 minute commute to work in my car into 4 minutes on my moped.

there’s really nothing like the punch from a high stalling clutch when you get back onto the throttle. love that stuff (edited)

what’s your 2nd gear clutch spring/pad setup?

i still think they are trash and the world would be a better place if that spring steel never made it to the spring twisting factory :)

Puch polini + vm20 + malossi 4 petal + estoril sidebleed here. I'll probably try stiffer springs when that bike is next in the rebuild rotation.

But yeah, it's already pretty great in my view!

you're looking so DENSE in that video that even google noticed

Just waiting on a warmer day, it's been pretty cold here and I'm not a fan of the cold. The medium springs are still kind of a let down because I already feel that I need to put on the heaviest or wait on the Malossi springs to show up. The lighter stock springs don't even need to be on the damn thing, I twisted the throttle and it sounded like bad news so I let off a bit, really revving high. Don't even think it'd be that great even for some stock jam. The mediums were a bit better, but still "meh".

Thought I was going to, I'm having an issue with it revving too high and barely moving. I checked out my timing and it's perfect.

Yeah, thing sounded like it was about to fucking explode. I'll order those springs soon, such a bummer though.

time for shampoo bottle tech
