Hey Cruiser, Yes happy scooting days for a long time I hope. Tomorrow I'm off so I'll change out all the vacuum and fuel lines and put in a new fuel filter. I noticed a few of the lines have wire around them, but Doc says throw the wire away not needed with good old American lines.

Cruiser, I have to agree. Any air in the system is going to throw off the sensor on the fan. I'm sure I have all of the air out of the system now. Took it to work this morning 9 miles and the fan came on about 3 times when the gauge edged close to the 3/4 mark. Funny thing on the way home tonight and no traffic the fan never came on and the temp varied from the 1/2 mark to slightly above it.

For the second time today I let the scooter cool down removed the cap and had to add maybe 2 ounces of fluid. Started it up, let it warm up and watched. Some fluid went to the overflow tank, but no more air bubbles so I quickly put the cap back on and let it run. The temp gauge went to the 3/4 mark and the fan came on. I keep it running, the fan stopped, but I let it continue to run making sure the fan came back on again and that's just what happened.

Tomorrow I take it to work so that will be the test. Taking a chance but what the hell I need to know if there is something else wrong with it. My trip isn't long 9 miles, but long enough to know if the problem is solved or not.

Maybe someone can explain just what makes the fan come on and how some air in the system can keep it from coming on.

I was going to change out my vacuum and fuel lines this morning, but needed to run to the store. Needless to say the scooter over heated. Lucky to get home. Fluid coming out of overflow tank and fan came on but only after temp gauge was on hot. Let engine get cold and removed cap. Added just a few ounces of fluid, started engine let it warm up. A few minutes later a few air bubbles came to top. Added a few more ounces of fluid and put cap on. Took it for a short ride and once again it ran hot and no fan coming on. Just turned 200 miles lucky me.

Well lots of feedback on this. Since I have less then 200 miles on mine I'll put off a test ride on the interstate until the engine has more miles on it.

Beyond a doubt the best experience I had on purchasing a scooter online. I knew which model scooter I wanted which was the Roketa 250 cc 54B model and did a search. Well many vendors came up and I checked a few out then I found Superior Powersports and gave them a call. I spoke with a young lady called Sandy and she was friendly, not pushy and answered all of my questions. They offer a free PDI which isn't a full PDI but they did assemble the scooter except for the trunk, mirrors and windshield. Sandy said it would ship within a week and it did and since I live on the east coast it arrived about 5 days via FedEx.

There was no damage to the box, but the driver still allowed me to open it just to make sure. The great part of all this was it came with all the paper work to register it. Title in my name along with bill of sale. It took me a few hours after paying property tax and going to the DMV to get it registered. 5 days later I had my new title mailed to me.

I did call Sandy a few times to check on my order and she stopped what she was doing and went back to their warehouse to check. Customer service was great. I don't work for them, but I sure do recommend them to anyone looking for a scooter. Their url is SUPERIORPOWERSPORTS.COM[/b]
