Welcome...I have a 2008 Roketa 257cc scoot..and I installed 35w....HID's....H4/9003...5000k..about a year ago...they are awsome.....my lights are fused to the battery (30amp)...if you lost both lights....they lost power...check the fuse....could be the relay that comes with kit....not normal to loose both ballast at the same time...let us know....need more info...

Did not realize which engine you had...not sure on your 244....I am sure you will find the specs you need....

Adjust the valves....on the 257..the intake is .004 and the exhaust is .006 and then adjust the idle to 1800 to 2000 rpms.....enjoy...

Could be a head gasket problem.....retorque the head.....check your oil...it probably has coolant in it also...

Hi....not knowing about your scoot.....I would say that the valves need to be adjusted.... .004 intake and .005 exhaust....then you can adjust the idle to 1800 to 2000.....enjoy the ride...

Welcome to the forum......sounds like the valves need to be adjusted....then adjust the idle...carb probs on a new scoot are not normally seen....how many miles....have you done a proper PDI (post delivery inspection)....change fluids....coolant 50/50 Preston or coolant made for an aluminum engine.......brake fluid DOT 3/DOT4....valve stems...trans lube 85w90 wt gear lube....charge the battery completely.....just a few things to think about...enjoy your ride..

I forgot about the thermostat...yes it needs one....this controls coolant flow through the radiator and engine....

Welcome to the forum.....first off...if the cylinder is horizontal it is the 257cc Linai Yamaha clone....if it is a vertical cylinder it is the 244 cc Honda clone....the valves need to be adjusted...the 257...intake is .004 and the exhaust .006 ....this will cure a number of problems such as idle speed.....1700 to 2000 rpm on the china meter....the carb does not have coolant running though it ....so that does not need to be hooked up...now vaccumm lines will need to be..... engine oil needs to be 10W40....gear oil 85W90.....50/50 coolant.....Dot 3 or 4 brake fluid...valves stems changed to one piece....the rubber ones will come apart.....Dynabeads for balancing the tires....1 oz for the front....2 oz for the rear....use blue loctite on all bolt threads that will come loose....the rear axle nut also needs blue loctite....just a few things that may have been done and maybe not....a good PDI (Post delivery inspection) will also find some issues...I have 6200 miles on my scoot and it has performed great.....it is just a machine....has to be looked after and cared for...the 3 forums have a ton of info to help you with your ride.....enjoy....
