I got my new Roketa MC-79-250 (Santa Fe 250) yesterday. It has the horizontal engine in it. My question is. As soon as i turn on the key, the fan starts running. I can hear it. It doesnt shut off. Any ideas. Things i should check? Dont want to drain my battery when i am out. Since this doesnt have a kick start. Thanks for any tips. I am tearing into it tonight

Well, the Scooter got here yesterday. Shipping company stuck a forklift into the front and put a hole in the sideskirt. So i got a claim in to get new body panels. Who knows how long that will be. They seem pretty good at the place i got it. So hopefully quick. Other than that, i did my PDI. It fired right up and runs good. Only real issue is as soon as i turn the key on the cooling fan comes on. It runs non stop. SO i have to figure out that. Any ideas?  ?? Also, it vibrates a lot at lower rpm's. Until i hit around 30mph. I assume its due to only having 3 miles on it, and it will break in and run smoother down the line. I am also used to the 150 i had. SO the bigger motor might be the reason too. I like the look and feel otherwhise. Just got a few more kinks to work out before i get out on the road. ANy help with cooling fan would be appreciated. I dont mind if it is on. Just dont want battery drained on me when not wanted.  Paul |

Yes cruiser, that is the Scoot i got coming. I got it in Black. Tracking says i should be receiving it on 06/03. lykos23, i am in Bloomington, IL. So we are about an hour or so apart. Illinois roads are horrid for sure. I have ran accross potholes bigger than my wheels before. Definately got to watch the roads here. Again, ridecheap, thanks for your info. Much appreciated. Ready to get my scoot prepped and on the road. |

Thanks for the advice. I will keep the tires in mind. My only things i am doing to it when i do PDI is Cig lighter under seat for cell charger, and GPS mount. Other than that, gonna get it going and work on it from there. I am not much into modding. Did absolutely nothing to the Fiji in 2 years. Accept maintenance.

Hello everyone. New guy here. Was on old boards as Fiji150. I sold the Fiji, and i have a Roketa Type 79 250CC on truck in route to me right now as we speak. Excited to get it and get it all taken care of. Got all PDI supplies ready to go. Just thought i would drop in and say HI.. I am in Central IL. Wasnt sure if anyone else on here was in my area. We used to have a scooter store in town. Lasted about 6 months. WAY overpriced... I bought my Fiji 150 used, and had it for 2 years with 0 issues. LOVED it.. Just want a lil more speed and room. So i ordered the Type 79. Was gonna get the 54B, but was out of stock. Happy Scootin
Paul
