The only thing I don't do is mount and balance tires. I do remove them from the bike and reinstall but not the actual mounting...

I do it all. I even did a top end over haul on my 400cc majesty. That was caused by a poor design on yamaha's part. In doing it I found parts for chinese scooters are a whole lot easier and quicker to get than yamaha. It was a 2007 and they do not even stock new pistons for it in the USA. john

Done all the work so far on the 2 scooters I owned. First was a Benzhou Deluxe 50 with 8000km for $600. That one got new driven face, new rollers, new belt, fresh oil seals for the transmission, tapped transmission oil drain plug to a larger size because the old one was stripped out, and a new clutch.
The one I currently own, a Hyosung Sense with 6800km, got for $400 not running. Just got it back on the road, it needed a thorough carb cleaning and adjustment, fresh gas, new plug, new battery, and the head and exhaust bolts tightened to get it going properly again. Tops out at only 60km/h or so though, so next I'm going to get into the transmission. Probably needs a new belt and rollers/sliders at least. I think I would draw the line at having to split the crankcase though. Would probably just try to find a new or used engine to replace the dead one. |

I do all the work.
These forums are just awesome. You really can find all the help you need to do the work yourself. I can see that if you dont have the time, you might just bring it to somebody.

I live here in Westvale (Syracuse West). Where is this Big Al's cycle shop located? I will do most of my own work, but would need tire work and inspections done somewhere else. |

I've never done any work on my scooter. That's all changing this weekend. I'm going to do the oil/filter change, change the gear oil, replace the air filter, and do a CVT belt and roller/slider change. I just hope it runs right after I finish.

Always do my own work, but I'll be having the exhaust modded by a shop after I work out the fit and figure where the oxygen sensor bung needs to be installed.
Oh yea I have a seat being done up by a motorcycle seat craftsman. I need ot give him a call, haven't spoke to him in a while.

What is a scooter shop....I have none here. Have over 9000 miles on my scoot and have installed HID head lights, manual choke, recovered the seat myself, LED's on the rear and installed a rear trunk. It is a 2008 Roketa 250B (257) purchased new in July 2008. Enjoy the ride...
