|
|
Hello all,
I have recently purchased a 50cc geared motorhispania ryz50 for just £100 , the bike was listed as unregistered and not working , I fully expected this bike to be a pain in the arse to get legal and running , long story short the “engine noises” as the bloke who I bought the bike off of ended up being a woodruff key £8 making a horrendous noise and preventing the starter motor from engaging. The Dvla gave me a runaround for around 2 months with registration until i bought a registered Peugeot XPS 50 frame (identical to motorhispania) and swapped the parts over.
This is where my issues began to arise , the bike starts instantly and idles perfectly on and off of choke , I have rebuilt the carburettor and cleaned everything with carb cleaner , blown out all fuel lines with a compressor as well as the fuel filler cap valve and have checked the vacuum fuel valve . I have also checked the spark plug and gapped it correctly as well as checking that the head bolts are all tight and that the exhaust has no blockages . Finally I will add that the fuel is fresh shell v power to eliminate that potential issue.
The actual problem with the bike is that it bogs under any sort of load , for example in neutral you can rev it up to 10,000 to 11,000 rpm no problem however as soon as it’s in first gear it won’t reach 4000 before bogging and dying . I have waited 20 mins before running attempts for the bike to warm up and it’s spitting out some oil from the exhaust and smoking correctly (eg a little but not excessively) does anyone have any ideas how I could fix this issue / what it could be caused by as I’m out of ideas
(This bike uses a water cooled minarelli am6 engine with oil injection) |

Couple of common stroker issues.
First and foremost. Fit a new plug if you haven't already.
Compression. Could it have a damaged bore/piston, broken piston rings?
Leaky crank seals.
Inlet air leak.
Does it have a standard air box, filter and exhaust? ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Just an update , so I have checked thoroughly the crank seals , put a new gasket set on the cylinder and head , equally I have changed the previously incorrect spark plug and replaced the old fuel tap for an identical new one , I have also pulled the flywheel and checked the stator , to find a broken stator backplate (mount for stator) that I have replaced , however I am still plagued with this same issue of bogging under load , does anyone have any further ideas ,
I have also today taken off and apart the carb that came on the bike , it is bigger than stock , stock is a dellorto phbn 16mm and this bike has a phnb 19mm with a large main jet (84) and a larger than useual Idle jet (45) would this cause concern or shed any light to my problem , also the spark plug is allways wet and slightly black when pulled , and the air filter Is stock
Thanks

Just an update , I have fixed the bike , I took the advice to clean the exhaust with no luck and then after checking the cdi came to the conclusion that it was fine , it then dawned on me that the bike had a brand new ( and unfortunately cheap ) cylinder kit fitted , this lead me to believe that , due to the larger than stock carburettor, the bike has previously had a 70cc kit fitted , and judging by the shitty quality of Previous repairs (rounded bolts and dry joints etc) the 70cc kit blew up , this led me to the conclusion that the carb had been butchered and fucked about with no end as well , so I went on eBay and for £15 bought a used carburettor off of an updated model of my bike , though this was stock of course, my bike 2005 carburettor 2011 , I rebuilt and cleaned the carburettor before fitment and sure enough the bike works perfectly albeit running a little bit rich , I would implore anyone with seemingly unfixable fueling issues like I had to buy a secondhand carburettor off of a WORKING model of your bike , this is because the carburettor is known to have been working at some point and so provides a baseline ,
Thank you all for all of your prompt and very helpful reply’s

I know I’m ressurecting this ancient thread however I feel that I should warn other looking at getting any bike fitted with a minarelli am6 engine as I have now had nearly a years experience with it .
As this thread would suggest the bike I bought was a dog , the dickhe... I mean previous owner had taken the engine apart and not even bothered to use the correct nuts on the crank ends , this lead to the non locking nut to loosen and drill a hole through the clutch cover meaning that I had to buy a new one and fit it (water pump out, oil pump out) total pain in the arse , due to this and a problem that plagues this bike , the water pump seal failed and mixed water into the gearbox , total engine flush with 4 litres of new oil and water pump rebuild with new seal.
Then came the electrical problems , 2 Stators blown as the stock ones are shit, the voltage regulator (that for some reason houses the indicator relay) blew , the bike still ran but the indicator didn’t flash and I only learned of this after blowing all of the dashboard under lights, 1 cdi unit blown out of nowhere , easy fix and some electrical gremlin that kept on blowing rear bulbs.
My advice to anyone looking at buying any am6 engine bike is to buy new / very well looked after and inspect closely . I must say that for the past. 7 months the only problem is that this engine doesn’t like long distance (more than 15 miles) though is now very reliable. Don’t buy anything with a cylinder kit unless you are prepared and able to do a full engine tear down and overhaul. Also for the past 2 months I have given up on the starter motor and have been bump starting so I’d buy one with a kickstart. They are awesome for a 50cc and from experience can keep up with slow 125 like a grom.
As a note on safety, the lighting system that these little engines facilitate is powered direct off the stator , in the day/dusk this is fine , however at night when decellerating as the Revs drop the break light flickers and dims so much it can bearly be seen as does the headlight , which means that you become all but invisible to cars.
My takeaway from my continued ownership of this bike is that they are a great 50cc that can do stock around 55mph gps and 63 indicated and cruise at 40mph their gears make them better at hill climbing than a ped and they feel like a real bike , due to not having a power valve the power band is very noticeable making the bike lethal in the wet and a bastard in traffic, fuel economy is piss poor for a 50 at around 50mpg though I do Ring the neck off it, if you want a boring commuter that does 30mph all day , never overheats and gets 100+ mpg don’t bother , however if what your looking for is a fun bike for a short commute and weekend rides then one with an am6 is the best option.
I hope this helps someone interested in the reality of this engine |

Look on the bright side: you've learnt a lot about rebuilding engines
The lighting is curious. Standard practice would be to power the brake light and indicators from the battery and the headlight/rearlight from the AC. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |
