Look for a grill cover,
It will be large enough,
it will likely be black,
it will be heavy enough,
they are readily available,
they are inexpensive,
and if you put it on while the scooter is hot, all will be fine
good luck

Oh, and you can check with your attorney on this if you have one. If you plan on suing the manufacturer then you better not ride the scooter anymore. That means you lost the bet, game over and you're stuck in Florida until you figure out how to finish. Or would that be on the back of a pickup truck? Say wouldn't that make you WRONG about being able to reach Key West on a fully functional scooter. KZ, of course he has an attorney, it seems as you either forgot or missed it, according to him, he is a big shot businessman with numerous employees, in a business that can be run with him on the road. |

Since you live in Florida, I don't believe there are any hills large enough to get it up to 70 as you go down hill.
So no.

When I had the bike on the center stand and spun the front wheel, I could hear a sht,sht,sht instead of a constant drag on the disk, ordered a new rotor, installed it and resolved the problem.
Thanks to all.
Problem resolved.
I sourced the parts from Scooter Parts Pro

I got a gallon jug of Castrol 15w40 at the local O'Reileys just a couple of months ago.

Unfortunately both are now gone... just a few co-op cheese makers left most were bought up in the 1980s Wow, that sucks. Talked to the wife and we recall that the cheese company we got ours from was Empire Cheese in Campbellford, Ont., I think it was close to a Worlds Finest Chocolate factory. Do you ride scooters in the snow? |

I remember going to Rice Lake once or twice as a child, also remember swimming in the Trent River.
My mother had 3 sisters and 4 brothers and most were very prolific.
But what I do love best from Ontario was the cheese and chocolate.

So what is the story as to why there seems to be alot of new 2007 scooters on the market. I am curious as to why there would be so many scooters seemingly in some sort of limbo. Were they seized by customs for some reason or what? Does anyone know the real story?

Some people remove the valve.. but that isn't likely the problem....more likely a warped rotor. Straight edge won't show it.. you need something on the ground like a 2X4 with a nail in it that extends to the rotor and see if the gap between the nail and the rotor varies when you spin the wheel... That is the only other component left in the equation, and wasn't the answer I wanted to hear, but, that's life, right. I saw a Matrix that had a front disk that looked like a saw blade, it looked really cool, but since this is not likely to be a keeper, I will have to get whatever is cheapest. Thanks, Jeff btw- What part of Canada? My mother is from Cambellford, Ont. |

On the Roketa Bali 150, it has disk brakes on both front & rear, when I hit the front brakes, it shudders. (Like bad)
I have checked the disk with a steel straight edge, and detected no problems, the pads seem to have plenty of material, I bled the brakes to insure there was no air in the system.
I suspect that the "ABS" unit is bad. It looks as if I can remove it and simply hook the banjo connection to the caliper.
Thoughts?
