Scooter servicing & parts shops

[rajperumalla]

HI all,

I have recently bought a Roketa Bali 150 cc from GSMotorworks.com, and it seems to be fine. I have ridden it for about 50 miles. The scooter is a bit shaky and wobbly when there is wind, is this normal? I was also wondering if I could find a good servicing center around greenville,nc. Oh, by the way, the side mirrors they sent did not fit, and once I changed the bolts, they don't sit well on the handle and I can't anything but my feet. Could someone please suggest if I could buy some reliable mirrors somewhere. I'm pretty new to scooters so , I would really appreciate any feedback, I can get.
Thanks,

www.partsforscooters.com has some mirrors... www.partsforscooters.com/Vehicle-Type/Mirrors also you can probably go to a regular bike shop Honda/Suzuki/etc. and find some that fit.
You can try Stan at www.oregonvintage.com Dennis at www.cbxmanmotorcycles.com and more if those don't work.

Yes scooters especially small ones get pushed around by wind. Quite normal.

My Scooter seems to weigh around 300lbs, so I don't think its the weight issue. By the Way, ACD, that's a nice Vespa you have, we have a scooter exactly like that in India, except we have that in blue color. nice one.

Check the rear axle nut and make sure it is very tight. I had an axel nut come off - it felt like the wind was pushing me around... also check tire pressure. Too low and you can get the same feeling.
