I recently purchased and upgraded a Roketa MC-72-150 scooter and its ready to ride! I purchased it as a project and I'm ready for my next one. You can find these scooters cheaper than this, but they need preventative maintenance at the very least in order to get long-term ride-ability out of them.
The scooter only has 500 miles on it. I've been through it literally from top to bottom to address all the common issues that come with these Chinese gy6 scooters. It has been a part in my garage and back together several times to address issues and to do preventative maintenance so that it could be purchased and driven with comfort. Don't let the year fool you, this scooter is in excellent condition. Although it in an '08 it was purchased new in April, 2011 by the original owner. I purchased it from him because he no longer wanted to ride it. I have over $1000 invested in this with the maintenance and upgrades listed below. If you have any questions or would like to make an offer, please let me know.
Here's what I've done so far:
- Upgraded new battery to 12v 9ah from 12v 7ah
- New oil/new gear oil/topped off brake fluid
- Flushed fuel system and replaced all fuel/vacuum lines
- Adjusted the intake/exhaust valves to .004'' and .005''
- New zinc plated body bolts all around
- Up-jetting carb from 105 to 110 main jet
- New starter and starter relay/solenoid
- Plasti-dipped (flat black) helmet with new clear shield with mirror finish
- New fuel sending unit
- Dialed in and running perfect (idle + fuel/air mix adjusted to just right!)
Thanks for looking and let me know if you're interested. As I mentioned above, the scooter and helmet go together. $1000 obo
I'm willing to trade plus cash for a cruiser motorcycle if you want to talk trade.
