Reving scooter engine

[tomhunter]

Hey

Just a quick question

Does reving a 50 c 2t scooter engine damage it? (from still)

and what does it do and how

Thanks

[SoND]

It's not good for it. Giving it a few blips wont do it any harm but sitting bouncing it off the limiter will.

general engine wear if the engine's warm yea, mostly it'll damage your ego as if you're doing it at traffic lights like most kids do on them, you'll look a reet tit.

It fucks up the clutch.

People rev car and bike engines because it sounds cool and somtimes proves your penis is bigger than your competitors. But the only way this can be accomplished is by having a hand or foot opperated clutch.

Peds do not have these, they have automated devices that trigger the clutch in and out of action at certain revs.

So when you are sitting there reving your ped really high with the brakes on then you are fucking it up.

But you can give it little revs, just dont rev with the brake on.

P.s. Ped revving does not prove you have a bigger penis, unless racing exhaust and neons and comedy horn sounds are played.

well the clutch is engaging, and slipping.

the main problem is you'll just look like a cock!
engine wear shouldn't really be the issue, as you're only 16 you're just keeping this until you can get a car or a real bike right?
unless you plan on keeping this moped forever then do what all moped chaps do. rag the nuts off it, sell it on for an extreme loss and let the next owner deal with it.

Is it the sort of thing where you'll cause constant small damage or if done loads it will sharply screw it up.

He only reved it a little on a warm engine but still annoyed me

cheers

Well you should only really use revs when the engine is under load... Redlining in first gear ain't too healthy for example.

iv bounced my cagiva 2stroke off the rev limiter a few times -- you just look a prat when you do it on the road

Agreed, 2 strokes shouldn't have limiters.

They don't have valves to bend/interface with. And they'll just run out of power when the revs get too high.

Peds don't have limiters, do they?

[Wafer_Thin_Ham]

NOt that i've ever heard, but most of the ones round me have the 30mph limiter on them.

I would expect them to just run out of puff and not be able to rev any faster.

thas the restriction not a rev limiter

& its the CDI that stops it over revving which means they do have a limiter BUT to hit that limit, you've gotta be pushing out some serious tuned horses

anyway 2t's LOVE to be revved

Alot of 2 stroke engines, really start to retard the ignition timing at speeds over peak power rpm. This acts like a rev limiter, becuase even if the exhaust system and gas flow within the engine would allow the engine to make decent power at increased rpm, the CDI pulls back the timing, and that often has the effect of almost halving the power output in a 500-1000rpm interval.
