I've had good luck with the 35watt Dual Bi-Xenon HID set up. They run a lot cooler than halogen. I haven't seen any sign of overheating.
I'm not sure what size stator I'm running, but, no electrical issues either. I am running full LED everywhere else, front/rear/dash.

I have new tires to install this weekend. Bought Dyna-Beads last year but never used them. They will be going in the new tires finally. I'm hoping the good reviews are true.

My last tank gave me 67mpg. Still trying to get my numbers up. When new it was hitting high 70's to low 80's.
I have 6000 miles on it now and always trying to stretch another mile or two out of each gallon.

Good job. At least I was partly correct about the starter and still learned something.  Thanks, both of you |

If I'm calculating N-m to ft-lb correctly, that's: 37lbs for the front and 157lbs for the rear.....hum??  Just sounds funny to me. But,... this is my first rodeo on the subject. Also, what about blue lock-tite? |

I have new Kenda tires [13 in. rims] waiting to be mounted. I've looked and looked in the searches for the torque settings for the front and rear axles.
Will be purchasing a 50 to 150 ft lb torque wrench from HF tomorrow.
24mm nut on rear
17mm nut on front
Just can't find the settings that I'm looking for,...I'm thinking 100 ft lbs.
Thanks in advance.

My Windows 7 came with "Snipping Tool". Have it locked to the task bar. Open, left click, hold, drag selection box then save. Saves as a JPEG, PNG, TIF, GIF files. Then do whatever you like with it.  |

I've made no enemies on the roads and plan on keeping it that way. Harleys and crotches, they've all been cool. Also, they come to my work for their beef jerky, so that helps to get acquainted.

Me and my big mouth. After posting about the plastics being a big thorn this morning, I came out of work this afternoon to find my right mirror hanging by the wires. It could have been a customer by accident...or some of the neighborhood Rug Rats...or just the darn PLASTIC...lol Patching it up now with good ole JB Weld, at least to pass inspection. But still need a new OEM replacement...any ideas for a decent price or if someone has a parts bike for a replacement.   Be careful of what you gripe about.  |

Have had my Roketa for a year and a half now. Will break the 6000 mi. mark very soon. This bike has never left me stranded and any adjustments have been easy access. Performance/Mod parts have been readily available. Was planning on keeping it stock and reliable, but I caught the Mod bug and it was on. Now it's Modded and reliable..No major breakdowns.
Just my experience...of course I've been with "this" forum, from old to new and have received good advice from our members...and I read almost every thread to learn as much as I can.
Thanks to everyone here.

The plastics on these Chinese bikes leave a lot to be desired, no matter what the CCs are.
I need to replace several parts around the front due to broken screw holes, cracked plastic etc. And the rattle of it all when riding over rough areas. Granted. I have taken these apart many times for mods or upgrades, but these parts are weak.

Went through that mess two weeks ago. ie...second owner, no title, no registration....nothing. Tried for a week...fruitless endeavor....
Was told on here..."No title, no way"...They were right. I wasted my time and energy trying to get the guy to do his part. And he was sober as far as I know...lol
