Hello Everyone Thought I would give you all an update. The dealer sent a second title. I'm still waiting to hear from the state of PA. I have had to do a lot of work on the scooter. The carb was not installed right and the air cleaner was not connected. Both of these problems are solved.
Now I have a very bad vibration with a loud growl. It feels like my feet are going to vibrate off my legs. If the scooter is placed on the dual kick stand so that the back wheel is off the ground evey thing sounds great. No problem. If I take the scooter for a test drive then I get the vibration at 3000 rpm and higher. I would guess wheel bearing except for the fact there is no noise with the wheel off the ground and I would expect noise at any speed.
Front wheel seems ok. Will try to do more testing. Will keep all of you updated when I find the problem.
If anyone knows of a good scooter repair person around New Castle PA please let me know.
If you know what the problem might be please advise.

I have contacted the dealer and Roketa is sending a new title (MCO). If that does not work then my state representative has an office in my home town and I will ask him for help. Hopefully this will be all cleared up soon.

It only gets worse. Today I get home from work and I have a letter from the State of Pennsylvania that the "Certificate of Origin For A Vehicle" is no good. Now I need to work through the hassle of all this.
The scooter can not be used. The MC-54-250 makes a big paper wieght.
Lets hope the dealer helps me out. I'll keep you all posted.

Hello Everyone This is an update....... Got home yesterday from a week of vacation and the replacement body panels had arrived. The dealer must have filed a claim with YRC as discussed because all the body panels here.
The only problem now is the warranty replacement part for the remote starter. I still do not have that part.
If I ever get it I will update this discussion.

About 3 weeks ago I received my MC-54-250 scooter from Extreme-scooters dot com. The scooter was really beat up during shipment. While this is not the dealers fault I do expect help getting the replacement parts. I sent in the pictures of the harmed body panels as instructed by the dealer and so far nothing has happened. I have contacted the dealer numerous times to ask when the body panels will be shipped. There is never an answer. I was instructed by the dealer that the body panels would be sent and that the dealer would file the claim with YRC, the company that delivered the scooter.
Every body panel has some sort of damage.
Also the Remote Starter does not work. I asked for a warranty replacement and the dealer said "don't use it, only use the push starter". If I paid extra for a part I expect it to work.
So to make a long story short.....Do not but from Extreme-scooters dot com from Warner Robins, GA.
To be fair Emails have gone back and forth and the dealer has forwarded me an Email where he shows me he has ordered the parts, but this was after numerous communications and I still do not know if the parts are coming. I just do not know whether or not to believe his Email. I just can not get a firm "yes the parts are ordered and will be delivered on....".
Be careful and order from another dealer. I was not smart enough to check the forums first....now I know better.
