I'm guessing most are customized peices . You might be able to interchange many body kits however not sure you won't have to move some of the mounting brackets. Sweet! So I guess with some good old elbow grease anything is possible then! (Lol Im obviously glass half full type of guy!) Sent from my SGH-T599N using Tapatalk |

When I first bought my scoot it topped out at 55 and I had cars on my constantly . After mods I pass cars on highway 119 with a speed limit of 65 Wow! Now thats what im talking about! Im really curious as to what mods you've done... im really big on NOT reinventing the wheel :sly: Sent from my SGH-T599N using Tapatalk |

Well so much for the vinyl wrap , I just about had it done and screwed it up , lol . And considering I only bought a 2 by 3 ft piece I had to tear it all back off . Luckily it was only 13 bucks . If I decide to buy more I'll have someone else do it . Lol . It was a pain when it came to covering the fairing behind the front wheel . That sucks... Sent from my SGH-T599N using Tapatalk |

Mine only did 51 GPS stock it was still too slow for my taste, i planned to mod it before i got it. For what i do and go its more than enough the stroker was the best mod i have done. Didn't gain top speed at first just a bunch of torque and hill climbing power, the top speed came after i went to the 17 36 gear set, the 15 37 gears must of limited me some. But after the last gear upgrade it woke up on the top, i didn't lose any torque either. :eek: I was passing cars In the 45mph zones the first day! I think its because I got the limited edition lb1p57qmj... Is there a good app to clock myself with the gps on my android phone? Sent from my SGH-T599N using Tapatalk |

I don't mind the freeway too much because of the speed -- my 260 gets up to 65 ok and I just chug along in the right lane. I start to wet my pants, however, when the wind picks up or when I go over a long bridge - at just over 350 pounds for the bike (and with a large GIVI windscreen) I get buffeted so hard at times that I feel like i'm close to being toppled over altogether. It's so frightening to me now that there is one stretch on the Garden State Parkway in NJ (the Raritan Bridge if you know the area) that I just get off the highway an exit before the bridge and detour via the local road and get back on the highway later. While I fear being hurt, I'm also confident that I'd be too embarrassed to tell anyone that I crashed because I was blown down. Lol lol I get to like 60 on my 150 by the beach in miami and feel exactly the same way... Its so windy I try to ride it like it was a ninja or r8 in full superman position!

I would double check the speed with either gps or riding beside another vehicle to verify the speed . 63 - 65 usually isn't possible with a stock scoot . You see the mods I have below and some don't believe I hit 65 - 68 . Many speedometers on these Chinese scoots are off . I believe some have to do with the different size wheels that are used. Some with 13 inch wheels seem to have a more acurate speedos. The speeds I got were me riding next to a car but im pretty sure it was closer to something like 60-63mph (  -105 kph) on my dash.

I do understand the possibility of being a police magnet. I have yet to get pulled over with the stock paint. However I 'll take the chance. I keep the scoot locked up on the porch and thank god PA. has stand your ground , I'm a licensed gun carrier and my 45 cal 1911 I wear open on my side will keep the crooks at bay. Just about Every one in a 15 mile radius knows not to steal from me . About a yr ago everyone of my neighbors had their vehicle broken into , mine was the only one untouched . I made sure everyone saw my AK 47 I use to protect my home when I first moved in . Don't get me wrong I don't go around makin threats , I m a law abiding citizen and have good relationships with my neighbors. Lol nothing says dont touch my sh*@ like a nicely polished defender!

Your talkin about a different type of body kit , not a replacement kit right . If so I have never seen one . Yea ive been looking at pictures of some custom gy6 scooters that look absolutely crazy. Im really more curious about the interchangeablity of the body kits. Like swapping my roketa mc-04 adventure style body for the star style body or something similar...

Ok thx... so I should:
1. Check electrical connections
2. Check the air/fuel mix (im assuming that I should just read the spark plug for this)
3. Get the blade type fuse holder with new fuse
4. Thoroughly Inspect weekly
Ive been reading alot about the high performance cdi and spark plug... Any thoughts on the advantages if there are any?
Also ppl have been trying to convince me that it would be worth it to get rid of the airbox/snorkel set up and go with a custom air filter. Is this worth it?

I just bought a roketa lb1p57qmj adventure and really wanted to make it as reliable as possible... I havent modded anything on it yet and the odo is at 1500km.
I DID do the first time maintenance though... carb cleaning, fuel tank cleaning, fuel filter change, oil change, air filter change, & spark plug change.
Nothing is aftermarket but I do want to invest in it so that I can make it last as long as possible. Any suggestions?
Top speed so far around 63-65 mph.

I have a roketa lb1p57qmj and I wanted to change the body to look like more of a motorcycle. Can anyone tell me where I can find a nice body kit?
