Bought a "VIP Future Champion" 50cc. (Roketa?) I am 100% new to scooters/mopeds. Ok this site is great. Learned a lot while my scooter was in transit to my house and now that it has arrived, I have it running good thanks to the advice found here+ the PDI sticky. I have one problem I hope someone could advise me on. The VIP Future Champion lettering surrounding my new scooter (wasn't mentioned on the auction I bid on) is going to get me a "future" ass beating eventually. Does anybody have any good ideas how to cover this thing? I don't know where to find a perfect sized decal to cover everything. It is not a sticker, can't just peel it off... (Someone else's moped picture from google)--  |

Nice looking scoot man. That's what mine looked like when i bought my first scoot. I'm not sure about yours but my stickers where under clear coat. Only way i could remove mine was to use a razor blade and scrape em off, then sand the whole panel down to remove all clear coat then prime and paint. But once again I'm not sure if yours is the same way. Good luck and hope you can get them off.  After a full weekend of scraping sanding priming and painting. Clear coat not on yet do to air compressor breaking down on me. lol |

I'll post some pics later and then I should have a definite answer on how to remove them.

Ohh almost forgot to ask, does anybody know where the fuel adjustment screw is? I found the idle screw but fuel is nowhere to be seen. Maybe it doesn't exist in this model.

I don't see anything wrong with the decals. But the radial lines on the tach and speedometer are enough to make me cross-eyed.  |
