Anybody have luck with finding parts for these bikes? I was thinking to pick up a set of brake pads/shoes just to have around. I too, would like to know this... I am considering purchasing one, despite the possible pitfalls, but my main concern is parts availability at this point. A google search turned up zilch! Thanks in advance! |

Sorry to hear about your sad luck Prodigit... I just purchased several of these bikes at a great price, and I am just now trying to build up my demo unit. I have read this entire 16 page thread and hoping that some owners are still reading it. I have a fair background and have built at least 20 Chinese scooters, primarily 150cc models, including a 150cc Kandi Spider model SL-150T-27 trike. I paid $2100 for it and thought it was a great deal, and it was, except that it came completely knocked down. I had to build everything including the suspension, steering, interior, etc. There were no instructions so I contacted the factory who gave me a link to a youtube video they shot, at the factory, showing two workers assembling one from start to finish. It was in fast motion, so only 9:43 minutes. I would watch ten seconds, pause, build for 45 minutes, watch another ten seconds. This took two full days but it was fun, and we still drive it around Salt Lake City nearly every day. If I was driving a Ferrari, I wouldn't get as much attention as this thing gets.. it's nuts. Anyway, I mention all this because as tough as that assembly was, the video was exactly what I needed. We need to ask Roketa (and all importers), to demand an assembly video from the factory for each model. Here is the link if anyone is interested in seeing how one factory is doing it right:
After reading through this thread, I have a few questions:
1. How is it best to get the throttle cable/needle back to the carb? Should I remove the fake radiator?
2. There still seems to be some question as to the correct spacers, and the order to place them on the axle. Does anyone have a picture of their correctly assembled axle? Is it unanimous that there is one spacer that should be left out of this assembly?
3. Prodigit gave us great and exhausting information regarding different sprockets. I would like to purchase a 36T or 34T rear for mine, but I didn't see any mention regarding a supplier.. where are you getting them? Is there a part number? Do you know the chain size?
4. Any tips that will help me avoid the usual assembly, then dis-assembly because I did something in the wrong order?
This is a great thread and I hope there are still some of you willing to chime in!
PS, if you are interested in a good price. I have several, new in the crate. Colors are Black, Red, & yellow. (blue is no longer available). Cost is $780.00 F.O.B. Los Angeles. Shipping is about $150 to $200 depending on your address.

I just bought my first scooter, a Znen 150cc. Riding has been great but when I went to fuel up the gas cap won't come up. After more careful review, it appears as though it is bolted down. I have no experience with Chinese scoots so I'm wondering what the heck is going on. Any ideas?

Shawn, not familiar with the Znen 150. Can you post some pictures of the fuel cap area? PS, anyone know how to reach Prodigit??

Sorry guys, I was out of town for a year or two.  No idea about any other scooters than the Roketa MC-05-127. I just called Roketa Texas, and they sent me a new Sprocket adapter with bearing. Charged me a ridiculous $50 + $12.50 shipping (~$75); now it turns out I lost the sprockets, so I have to re-order them. I will probably work on the sprocket adapter soon. Turns out that the bearings break from tightening the chain too much. The chain needs to have more than 1" slack, as the swingarm needs to have sufficient chain length to have the rear suspension work. I'm probably going for a 33T rear sprocket this time; but in the mean time, I need to get married (lol, in 2 weeks), so if you don't hear from me for a while, it'll be because the miss is taking more time than the bike does! |

Does anyone know of a engine swap for this motorcycle? perhaps maybe a 150cc pit bike engine with a manual clutch.

Is there anyone still on this thread that can help me out!? Just bought a used yx127cf for $500, thought I was getting a good deal.. repaired the carb and replaced the battery, had it running good and put around 100miles on it before it starting having idle issues. Now I can't get it to stay running or idle at all. I've replaced the carb with a PZ19, installed a new fuel filter and new spark plug and I'm at a loss. The new carb is clean and functioning right as far as I can tell, I believe the valves are holding compression as well, I could definitely use some advice if available. Has anyone went through any similar issues and also where or how do I find parts.. Thanks in advance!

Ill sure try How many total miles on her. can you take a picture of the motor so maybe we can cross over some parts for you. Confirm 100% she is getting fuel and spark.. You should highly consider renting or borrowing a Compression tester from the local parts stores. |

It could be as simple as turning up the idle adjustment on the new carb if you didn't do that yet,,and if that symptom appeared right after you changed it

Bin gone for 10 years now.
My Chinese clone was sold to someone else.
I ended up with a Honda Grom clone, and by accident found this thread again.
For rear sprockets, go to rebelgears.com.
I wanted to buy a grom, but the $5k +dealer fees was too much. Last time I remembered, the groms were sold for $3k, which was too much.
Now that I finally can afford $3k, they went up by $2k.
I've also looked at a Z125, and a binelli 135cc from clone, but ended up sacrificing for a Condor X-Pro 150.
Maybe a repeat with this bike, but at least it got 5 gears and is a 150cc instead of a 125cc.
