TOOLS

If you decide to work on your moped yourself, having the right equipment is half the battle. A good basic tool kit not only saves you a lot of money on mechanic fees but also ensures you can carry out repairs safely and without damaging any parts. Basic moped maintenance—such as replacing a spark plug, tightening the chain, or adjusting the carburetor—doesn't require a full workshop, but it does call for a few essential, specific tools.

• Screwdrivers
• Micrometers
• Spark plug wrench
• Parts organizer
• Tire lever set
• Pulley puller
• Precision knife set
• Test tank
• Compression tester
• Jet and feeler gauge cleaner
