GoPed, HOW TO: Race Pole Install, Set Up.

In this video I go over how I install a ddm race pole.

[@123DerekShort]

I bought a 25" pole then resized it down to around 20-21" total length. which makes the pole around 19" I am 5' 9" and I use mine for racing. But I'd recommend going 25" and then sizing it to your liking.

I changed my ftg forward like your video

[@ianyoung8392]

I'm really tall and just moved to London. I want a scooter to commute and make life easier with my size and weight. Gopeds fit the bill for being rugged and wet weather friendly. But I want to fit a longer 30" race pole from ddm. Apart from the pole I'm guessing I need to buy a bottom clamp too? Do I need anything else or can I just use the other cable clamps and stem that came with the scooter? Or do I need to buy others?

[@robertsmith9756]

I'm getting ready to swap one of these in (the 30") will this require new cables? It's on a goped sport (the yellow one). Thank you.

I need y frame asap. Let me know how much and a few axles to for the y frame. And some of thosr koshimo calibers.

[@bigc2nyce]

can you simply replace the factory slide tube with a clamp to eliminate the wobble where it folds?

[@123DerekShort]

it will help some. but nothing like a race pole

[@domj1606]

Wuddup i was looking to buy a y frame for my gsr46 I'm pushing my opr krankies over 10 horsepower and stock frame is not doing it can you get me a y frame cuz nobody canexcept slitzell but he wants way too much money

[@BMF604]

Awesome vid as usual. Quick question do you lose the ability to fold down the pole when you go with a race pole? Thanks

[@123DerekShort]

yes. To lower down the pole now you will have to loosen the big bottom clamp.

[@richardperez5542]

How much for a roller frame like this with no motor?

[@nitroornothin]

Cool thx m8,I only cn these scooters 2wks ago and got one last wk lol what's the best mods to do to the gtr46i? I've orders a rhino pipe kit.the shop I got it from said I should change the clutch springs so it doesn't have to rev so much,what springs or clutch kit should I use? I've watched most of ur vids there cool.keep em comin

[@123DerekShort]

Hey nitro, The pipe I would suggest is a rhino like u mentioned. Its a great pipe and I am very happy with mine. As for a clutch its all personal preference. The shop you are talking to about the clutch, it sounds like they are referring to different clutch springs. It will be the same clutch just a different set of springs. The stock spring let the motor rev up higher before taking off. Which personally I like. How ever the other springs which are the DDM Davesmotors clutch saver springs are a bit softer of a spring thus allowing the clutch to engage much sooner and take off a bit slow. Hope this info helps.

[@nitroornothin]

Thanks for the advice ur a champ.have you done a vid on how to remove the clutch shoes from the motor coz I wouldnt have a clue lol hey my 9yr old son wants ur car lol he knew what it was straight away and were from Australia I've got a Torana SLR,yours looks killa.

[@123DerekShort]

lol Thanks. I do happen to have a video on how to replace a clutch. its one of my older videos... kzbin.info/www/bejne/apergqaFeM9gfMk

[@nitroornothin]

Yeah I watched that vid thx,but I ment how to remove from the engine.i got the race pole and pipe on the pipes good but the manifolds r crap,leaks like a bitch,I'm thinking of making my own manifold with orings,not unless u have a quick fix lol I've had it off 3 times haha

[@123DerekShort]

I do have a quick fix trick that I will be making a video on it very very soon. Probably in the next week... Just waiting on getting my new frame back from the painters shop so I can start the build. should be this week. and likely start the build this weekend. Ill be going over a few things in the build. making a few more helpful videos.

[@nitroornothin]

Hey mate do the race poles and ftg eliminate the play in the factory gtr46i standard ones?the standard ones r shocking

[@123DerekShort]

yep! night and day difference!

[@lov3blacksheep]

Link to that stem?

[@dwecktek]

Do you prefer a 25in pole or 30in pole, im 5'8 which would you reccomend?

[@tubesocktv69]

hey man my ftg is pretty stuck if i bang on the allen bolt will it pop out? it does in the video by gopedltd..but i feel like mines in there good

[@mariobroteam]

Hit it from the bottom up with a metal stick make sure to only hit the gooseneck and not the nut holding it together so you gotta hit under the nut that holds the bolt and make sure you take off the bolt before anything

Good song
