The "Well Loved" Tomos A35 is done! Now what?

[@chadtufts6320]

My Puch journey started 3 years ago with your videos!! Another great video!

[@TravisTutorial]

Ah I appreciate you mentioning that! Thank you!

[@josephsylvester6336]

Stock bars or high bars.. something I’ve recently understood after years of low bars..Makes riding so much comfier!

[@TravisTutorial]

Absolutely!

[@ogbigtsbikesandstuff887]

Great video. Your Sachs clutch repair video from a few years back helped me with my Foxi build. Great stuff!

[@TravisTutorial]

Thank you! And I'm so glad to hear it! Recently I had to open up a Sachs clutch and I went back and re-watched it since it had been so long lol

[@adamharlow8124]

Sup Travis. Glad to see you still making videos. Your videos were the first moped videos I ever watched when I was new. Cheers bud.

[@TravisTutorial]

Glad they've been helpful!

[@Putt-Putt-Vroom]

Great to see more TT videos! Mopeds, Cars, Houses! I was wondering what happened with that moped horde you guys scored a while back :)

[@bjf10]

Mopeds are never truly done. :) I can 1000% relate to going back to taller bars, haha. I'm super shocked the exhaust bracket is still there! Those break all the time. Looks like a super fun daily beater!

[@TravisTutorial]

Thank you! Oh yes it's definitely stock beater status!

[@bjf10]

@@TravisTutorial Only thing I'd really think about replacing are the forks; we've had several tomos forks of that era fail on people while they were riding leading to some gnarly injuries.

[@TravisTutorial]

@@bjf10 Aah that's really good to know, that's the last thing I would want - ok fork replacement is on the list!

Awesome bike. I have a very similar setup on my Targa LX. 15.15 Sha with a 62 jet, treats clutch pads, and blue springs, but I went from a biturbo to the estoril sidebleed and what a difference. I was running the metal mesh intake filter, but I went back to the factory airbox and that thing cruises nicely at 40 to 45 and it's very quiet. For the small amount of low end you lose, you gain so much top end, and likely wouldn't be bad for yours since you have the higher compression.

[@bjf10]

Estorils are so great on tomoses. I like the technigas next r as well.

[@MakisOfEquinox]

@@bjf10 I mainly emphasize the sidebleed part of it, it makes it so much quieter and it makes a really nice powerband. I have an old A3 I wanna try out some different pipes on. I just got a 96 Targa that the guy has some of those technigas on, and it runs pretty nice as well.

[@TravisTutorial]

@@MakisOfEquinox Thank you! I'm definitely eyeing up the Estoril sidebleed, I think that would be next upgrade next time I bust out the wallet. I remember seeing that total combo suggested in the "A35" upgrade pack treats sells - they have the MLM intake in it too, but I measured the stock Tomos intake and it came out to 14mm which is close enough to 15 (though it does have that sharp angle bend) so I held off. www.treatland.tv/will-s-budget-friendly-tomos-A35-speed-party-p/a35-stock-party.htm I'm also definitely into the quieter aspect since the packing in this Bi-Turbo is looong gone lol

[@MakisOfEquinox]

​​@@TravisTutorial yeah, the A35 Targas came with a 14mm intake and Targa lx 15mm. I would suggest against getting the kit with the intake, if you keep the stock air box it is so much quieter, unless you really like it loud, but stock airbox got me some low end back when I switched back to it from the metal mesh that came with the carb. You'll save a couple bucks and it makes it a very pleasant ride. But the Athena Reed is a MUST it is awesome on these engines. Also, I have extras of the stock controls if you're looking to put the OEM ones back on it.

[@TravisTutorial]

​@@MakisOfEquinox Aah okay that's great info. Yeah if I can get those gains without having to buy a kit it's worth it. Noted on the reeds & intake (will probably do the cranks intake over MLM). Appreciate the offer on the stock controls I have a line on a local set though if I decide to get those back they way they are supposed to be.

[@upsidedowndog1256]

Sounds good! I like plan #3. I just added a Harley to my bike fleet. Mopeds are rare where I live.

[@TravisTutorial]

Oh nice! I've always wanted a Sportster, maybe someday

[@upsidedowndog1256]

@@TravisTutorial Mine is an 07 Dyna with a 135HP/139TQ 120R engine. Kind of like a Sportster.

[@TravisTutorial]

@@upsidedowndog1256 Ah nice I see! Yeah that is a great setup. I had a roommate a few years ago with a Road King that was intimidating!

[@upsidedowndog1256]

@@TravisTutorial I still love my Garelli and all of the others!

@@upsidedowndog1256 For sure, there's a special joy in riding a slow bike fast!

[@Klemzi6945]

ur missing the cable holder thing that goes under the tank and holds all the handle bar cables

[@KelikakuCoutin]

Does this have a flat port exhaust or an angled port exhaust?

[@TravisTutorial]

The Tomos A35 cylinder exhaust port is angled, but not quite in the same way as Puch flat vs angled exhaust port cylinders.

[@KelikakuCoutin]

Thanks for the content. Keep up the good work. בס'ד

[@mikesguitars3289]

Nice Tomatos!!! but there is not such a thing as ''finished moped''

[@TravisTutorial]

So true!!

[@mikesguitars3289]

Maybe you should repaint it and make a video about it. I think this bike is cool but it needs some refinish, i would choose some cool eye catching colors, maybe candy red or candy green. Most of moped guys invest big money in to the fancy kits and big pipes but the bike itself looks like pile of rust.

[@TravisTutorial]

I think a uniform color is the move, I did powdercoating a few years ago which was fun, but I think a well prepped rattle can job can still come out nice if you take the time. I agree it should be a non-factory color something special!
