I agree the valves are off more then likely the exhaust.

Bigkahuna, Thanks, but I never had any major repairs involving the engine or it's parts. The defective variator was the worst problem as it eat two sets of Dr Pulley Sliders before I decided to just order a new variator. I'm not good with most repairs so when the clutch starting squeezing instead of taking it all apart to change the pads on it, I ordered a new unit for $70.00. I go by the rule "keep it simple stupid" and although it may cost more I have saved a lot of aggravation. I do believe in the PDI and making sure all the connectors are tight and all the junk that needs to changed is changed.

It does have to be newer then the 2008's everyone seems to own. I just hope they made all around improvements on it and less time to do maintenance on it. So do you own the Ice Bear 300 trike?

Mike what all instruments are digital? I didn't notice a tach on it, but it could be there.

Mike, You may be right I don't see a needle on the speedometer. The picture is of poor quality.

It doesn't look digital to me.

I heard from someone who owns one and he said the dash is digital not analog. Of course he hasn't had anytime to ride it since he lives in IN.

kz1000st You are right about using it at a reasonable pace. The fastest I have taken it to is 65 mph just to see if it would get there. It did and plenty left, but I seldom go over 55 mph and if I do it's not for a long period. I use my scooter around town and small trips.

Trailheadmike I lucked out doing a search on Google as it showed a dealer on Ebay. As you can see by the picture below they are very bright and have been on the scooter since August.

The funny thing about me taking the picture exactly at 10,000 was it was in the parking lot of a convenience store where I was going to get a cup of coffee. I pulled in and looked down and there it was right at 10,000. Took out my phone and snapped the shot.

Just turned over 10,000 on my Roketa 250 cc 54b. The following is a list of parts I have changed or had changed. Replaced China tires at 2,000 to the Avon Vipers. Changed the rear Viper once more at 5500 miles, front tire is still good with 8000 miles on it. Replaced every hose with Gates vacuum and fuel lines 3/16” for vacuum and 1/4” for fuel line. Replaced CDI although that was not the problem. Replace coil which was the problem Replaced all brake lights and signal lights with LED’s Replaced headlights with 50w 55W BA20D bulbs (found on Ebay) Had them since August and no problem with the lens getting hot. Replaced CVT belt at 5000 miles but still had miles left on it. Replaced Variator as it was defective. Installed Dr Pulley sliders 12 gram Replaced entire clutch assembly Replaced battery Replaced signal and light switch thanks to JR as wiring was not a match with the switch I purchased. Adjusted valves at 2,000 miles and at 5,000 miles, and it’s been fine since. Normal maintance consisted of changing oil every 1000 miles, fuel filter every 1500 miles, gear oil every 1500 miles, clean air filter every 1000 miles, spark plugs just every 5000 miles. I have always used Sea Foam with every fill up. I think that covers it all. I will say this in the 10,000 miles of riding my scooter it has stalled out 3 times, but that was because of a bad coil, and it did restart after cooling down. It is just as fast as when I first purchased it and it starts every day. So for the first 10,000 miles I am a happy camper with it, although it has been cursed at more then a few times.

Alley, it sure doesn't sound like a GY6 engine. Man it sounds more like a hot-rod car.
