Resurrecting a Roketa MC54-250B

Thought you might find it interesting to follow along as I resurrect a customers' Rokets MC54- 250B aka a Jonway YY250T.

He is a new owner of this scooter from a barter transaction with someone. He does not have any keys and it has sat for many months not running.

A visual exam of the scooter revealed many broken body panels, screws missing, wrong bolts in certain places, battery dead, flat tires and missing windscreen. Plus the typical body scratches from being dropped.

After removing the lower dash panel, and side body panels the following was noted:

fuse link @ battery destroyed and connected direct to Batt +, battery feed wire into ignition switch melted, switched battery power wire melted, igntion switch connector melted, and body harness half missing (removed), and a few other lower gauge wires literally melted in half.

Has a new regulator, starter solenoid, and damaged wiring connecter to regulator.

This particular scooter has the same CF250 engine as used in the Honda Helix and the Diamo Velux. The Diamo Velux of which I am resurrecting one of those for someone else.

First order of business, air up the tires, disconnect the battery and trickle charge for about 16 hours @ 1/2 amp.

While the battery is charging, remove the ignition switch, disassemble and check for damage.

If you have any questions or thoughts, feel free to express them.
