Hi,
Just got my new scooter 3 days ago. Its a chinese Roketa MC54 250cc, bought from a local B&M who had put it together. & yes, I immediately had problems with it.
Yesterday, I tried to do a evening 30 miles round trip ride with it & it just DIED 3/4 of the way home (in the middle of a high speed street thru a mountain pass so no where really to pull off). There was a resort 1/4 mile down the road so pushed it into their parking lot.
My husband was riding his MCY so he went home, got the horse trailer & brought the scooter home (it only had 49 miles on it!!!). Boy, was I PO'ed at that scooter. Long story short, next day in the light, read this forum, & we saw the vacuum hose connected to the intake pipe fell off.
Many thanks to this forum for all the great pictures & info people have posted so we could figure out what was going on!!
A little about me: I have ridden motorcycles off/on since 1986. But not much in the past 6 years. I haven't toured in a long time & now, just wanted something to tool around town on.
Well, this is getting to be too long, so hi & thanks for reading!
