Hello everyone!
two days ago me and my lady friend recently bought a used Baotian Rocky (I will post pictures later today)
I have done the following so far.
Oil change
Gear oil change
New fuel lines and vacuum lines
New fuel filter
New speedo cable (the old one was broken)
New battery
New valve stems front and back.
Today I will bleed the front brake and try to clean the carburator...
I think the starter relay is shot because when I press the botton for electric start nothing happens, and I tested the starter by running 12v straight to it and it worked.
Any additional suggestions are welcome!!
Pedro!

Here are some pics of the scoot.    Guys, could you tell me what could be the reason for the clutch not engaging until about 5000rpm? |

The clutch pads are probably glazed. The same way brake pads do. If so a light scuff with a fine sand paper will take care of that. How many Miles or kilometers are on your scoot?  Nice looking scoot. Dave

Ok.. Yeah may very well be the clutch.. I tried to take the variator off today to then remove the clutch to inspect it and put some wd-40 on the springs... BUT I couldn't get the nut loose, I will try a different method another time.. fine sandpaper, 600 grit?
The scooter has about 1500kms, tho the teller says 1200 because the cable had broken not long ago.

But you can use a zip tie on brake lever to lock the rear spindle. Then I use my cheep impact wrench to remove the nut. 600 grit will do fine. I use anything 240 and above. Dave |
