You will be 10,000x better off than on a Chinese clone exaggerate much? while we're tossing numbers around i'll say 1.5X better off with a name brand scoot... i don't know much about the 250's. i have a 150cc jonway that i am very happy with. only problems i have had so far is carb need rejet and front brake light switch broke. 2,500km with no other problems so i don't mind a chinese scoot but i would buy a new honda if i had the cash. from what i have read the roketa 250cc 54 is a good choice on a 2k budget. |

how many years did it take you to build that business? sorry to hear things didn't work out but i guess if you are on your own now then it's for the better. with your experience you should have no problem building a new business in less time and for the better. good luck, looking forward to my first order.  |

not sure about the wiring but my headlights operate the same. the high beam is angled a little higher than the low. assumed normal, i don't have too much problem with visibility.

not sure about autozone. i went to the local auto parts store here and couldn't find any  degree angle stems. the ones they had wouldn't have worked on my 10" rims so i ordered mine online. i had the same problem as you. i used thread locker and tightened the cap. it worked well enough to hold me over until new ones were delivered. |

when i read the choices, i thought "really... really Leo?" such an easy choice, ldo. but then i read your stories, oh my! leaning towards the mini-bike after reading. need a big set of nuts to ride that thing so it's gotta be more macho, no?

i've never heard of them either. the banner above has reputable dealers if you don't want to test the waters with an unknown. rapid repair posts here often under the screen name RapidJim. he has stated his website doesn't list all the scoots available so you may want to PM him if thinking of buying.
buying online is much different than buying locally so if you haven't done it before just know it is a bit more difficult. paperwork to register your scooter could take weeks. as long as you have somewhere to park your new scoot while waiting on paperwork then it shouldn't be a problem for you. just an inconvenience.

i've also heard filling up during the coolest time of day gives you a bit more fuel. supposedly fuel expands at higher temps so i guess it is fact but not sure how much extra you would get, if even noticeable.

my brother was also killed in a car accident many years ago. wish i could tell ya you'll be fine it gets better but it really doesn't. it's just that the pain gets buried over time... i can remember the day Dale Earnhardt took his last lap and all the emotions i felt the day i lost my brother resurfaced. sry for your loss.

like kevbailey mentioned you won't really know how bad until tomorrow. i laid my scoot down last year on my way to work at about 35mph landing on wet grass. felt fine, went to work. was only scheduled a four hour shift to unload a truck. got through that no problem but the next day i had trouble getting out of bed. missed a week of work.
hope you feel fine in the morning.

Crap. You're probably right. I don't have the bearing pullers and other specialized tools to do this kind of work. Not to mention that I'll probably have to source the parts from South Korea. Meaning that, at best, including the plastic work, I'm looking at $1K of parts and labor or equivalent personal time to put this bike together. For a bike that cost me $2K. And if I'm lucky, I'll have the bike on the road by August. Or I could just sell the bike for parts. Only had 1500 miles on it. Yeah, I think that's what I'll do. - Xantos i can understand that. i don't really like working on these scoots either but you really won't know how much it will cost until you look behind the clutch. if it was me i'd hang on to it for awhile just to be certain you really want to sell it. you may change your mind in a month or 2 and do the work yourself. who knows. |
