 When Doing repairs on the roketa bali 250cc. Such as changing the Vacuum and Fuel lines or replacing a broke hose. Do you have to take off the Entire panels on the sides and gas tank off and trunk bolts too! just to get under the seat for repairs? The small hose that connects to the carburetor feeding it coolant has a small tiny hole in it and I need to replace it. Thanks Guys in advance, I appreciate any help.

Yes to do that kind of work it is best to get the panels off.
If I remember right, to get the panels off you have to start in the back. There is a panel in the back just above the license plate. looking from the ground up there are 4 screws to take off then that panel comes off. Pick a side and look at the lower side panel and find the screws. Again I think there are 4, maybe less. once they are all removed the lower panel is held to the upper panel by built in hooks where they meet. gently slide the lower panel to the rear until it drops free. To remove the upper panel you need to take off the trunk, luggage rack and grab bars. Find the screws holding the panel on and take them out. Again I think there are 4. Now the rear of the upper panel is pressure held in place under the edge of the tail light assembly. Gently work the front of the upper panel loose and slowly, gently pull the rear of the panel from under the tail light assembly. It isn't easy but I managed to get mine completely apart and back together without breaking anything.
Once you get the panels off you can take the seat base off if you need to.
As you disassemble, it is a good idea to place your screws in a baggie, one baggie for each piece you disassemble. Good luck.

Thanks for the help gatekeeper. Looks like I have a lot of work to do.  Why couldn't they make these like the smaller ones when all you Have to do is take out the tub.  |

They do you just happened to get one of the tougher ones. Mine has 2 access panels in the front that come off with 4 scews which once off let you change the plug, access the most of the lines and pull the valve cover for a valve adjustment. |
