My moped ๐Ÿ›ต got new parts on yesterday ๐Ÿฅฐ

So my moped ๐Ÿ›ต got a new back tire, back clutch, belt, roller weights, front clutch, and gear oil ๐Ÿ›ข done yesterday. I was originally quoted $242 for it and it ended up being $238.23 instead ๐Ÿฅฐand all the work was completed within an hour and I got to see ๐Ÿ‘€ all the old parts when they came off. My back break pads are still in good condition. 

My back clutch, belt, and tire were in horrible condition. My front clutch still had a bit longer, but I went ahead and had a new one put on yesterday to save trouble for having it go out on me soon. 

I also learned that my back tire wears out only on the sides, whereas my front tire wears out in the center (I have to learn what I'm looking for wear wise on it now in case it needs replaced sooner).

I will need a new front tire and break pads by October of this year. 

I got to say that I noticed a huge difference driving with the new back tire on the way home. It was a much more enjoyable ride for me because of that ๐Ÿฅฐ But the sound driving was a bit different then normal and the feeling of things being tight and not taking off as fast as normal (he is slow taking off to begin with, but he is slower right now) is a very weird feeling to me and one that I have to get used to for a bit as the new belt loosens up a bit so things feel and sound more normal for driving for me again. 

I did get my idle bumped up a bit more again because my moped doesn't want to stay on to idle for me very well, so hopefully it helps that out a bit again. 

I'm about 247 miles away from my next oil ๐Ÿ›ข change again at 6,437 miles because I'm at 6,190 miles now.

I got my moped ๐Ÿ›ต back yesterday morning ๐ŸŒ„ ๐Ÿฅฐ

I got my moped ๐Ÿ›ต back yesterday morning ๐ŸŒ„ before work ๐Ÿฅฐ I'm so excited to have it back ๐Ÿฅฐ I seriously missed it. It's not easy taking the bus ๐ŸšŒ back and forth to get everywhere especially when you are exhausted and just want to drive yourself so you can stop and do things that aren't on the bus ๐ŸšŒ line only. 

The cause of my moped ๐Ÿ›ต having to go in and get work for it shutting off when I went to drive it even though it started fine was the valves were clogged. So they had to take out my motor and adjust and clean them. Then put my motor back in. If I had a different style of moped they wouldn't have had to mess with my motor to adjust my valves, but that's OK. My spark plug I got on a year or two is still good. They also gave me a free oil ๐Ÿ›ข change (it was due) so I thanked them for that (that saved me $30). The cost to fix it was $90, so not bad. 

I have to get my rear clutch worked on soon from the sounds of things it's going to start giving me issues like the original one did a few months after I first got my moped ๐Ÿ›ต did. 

So instead of just getting a new belt and roller wheels ๐Ÿ›ž done at some point this year I have to get the rear clutch done again, and was going to have them do the front one at the same time if it needs it since that hasn't been done yet. Just to be on the safe side. That's going to be $160 to $200. 

Then I have to get the back tire ๐Ÿ›ž changed as well because of it wearing out. That is going to be $82 to $95. 

Depending on where I got to get the service done I'm able to get my gear โš™๏ธ oil ๐Ÿ›ข done for free. So that's nice because that will save me the cost of an oil ๐Ÿ›ข change. 

So, now I have to save up $242 dollars ๐Ÿ’ธ or $295 dollars so that I can get it all done โœ”๏ธ at once and not have to make multiple trips to get the work done and be without my moped ๐Ÿ›ต longer. 

I did also stop to get my left brake adjusted and my idle adjusted today because the brake was a bit loose and the idle was a bit low. But now they are both perfect. 

My next oil ๐Ÿ›ข change will be at 6,437 miles ๐Ÿ‘€

But I'm sooo excited my moped is back home ๐Ÿก with me again ๐Ÿฅฐ I missed it and I do my best to take good care of it โค๏ธ๐Ÿฅฐ
