I went to the machine shop today to retrieve my head. The former owner broke an intake bolt off in it and i didn't want to destroy the head to get it out. checked the rod play on the crank and made sure the sealing surface on the head is good enough to seal the head gasket.
Overall a fun day!

Well let's see......
1. Replace the top end on my Roketa 250
2. Find some ammo boxes and first aid boxes to stuff all the wiring in on my "rat scooter"
3. Mount the headlight, taillight, and the turn signals.
4. Do something with the gauges, not sure what but i'll figure something out.
5. Build some floor boards out of expanded steel or diamond plate aluminum or maybe wood......

Hi all,
I recently acquired the worst looking pile of "Roketa" that i have ever seen. It's a 2008 Roketa mc-54b (170mm) 250 with 16,000 miles. One of the former owners decided to strip it to the bare frame, and in the process lost some of the body parts that were originally on it. The rear tire is completely bald and it looks like they used it for burnouts mostly. Man i love a challenge!!
The top end is off and it's ready for a new one. It's a good thing that the new engine parts are cheap enough that a "poor boy" like me can afford it. I have been wrenching on my bikes since about 1981 or so, And these are real easy for me to repair. I think i will enjoy working on this and building a stripped out rat out of it.
I just gotta get the engine rebuilt and see how it goes from there.
