;D I bought my Roketa MC-13-250 scooter in February of 2008- roughly 5 years ago. Since than, my scooter has went through 2 windshields, 1 front tire, 2 rear tires, one rear rim, 2 starters, 3 headlights, one rectifier, a new waterpump, 2 boots on front shocks, 3 batteries, 3 spark plugs. The reclifier was good still and was battery, the rim was bent by Goodyear and not the Chinese fault, one windshield broke when wind knock it over. These type of things occure sometimes. But mainly I put $500 into this scooter to last 5 years.

In this 5 year period, I have riden my scooter 6150 miles. Not alot but can be explained. First year gas prices were nearly $4 per gallon and I put 1450 miles on scooter but saved gas for wife to get back and forth to doctors, second year was at 1500 miles and recession hit, third year moved to Belle MO and did 800 miles, fourth year done another 700 miles and was down having foot operated on, 5th year 1500 miles and moved to Holts Summit MO.. Hot in the summer time 100+ is too hot to ride out of town.

I believe that people ride scooters anytime they want in the summer time, whether hot or not. I don't like riding in the heat unless going to store to get cola or milkshakes. lol.. But I don't ride far in the heat, because if the engine becomes to hot it could do irreversable damage to the engine. So I am more of a early Spring and Fall rider with some Winter riding too. Which would ruin a engine faster- too run mildly in the summer and take distant trips in the Spring, Fall and Winter or too run during summer months and take a chance of overheating this Chinese scooter and destroying engine?

Most of you could ride further than me, but my problems are due to not having alot of money for gasoline, a operation, moving to new areas, ect.. I should have tried to put 3000 miles per year instead of 1500.. My engine is still running perfect thought. Great condition..

See, I am still not convinced that a person could not get 20,000 to 30,000 miles out of a Chinese 250cc scooter if well maintained. Most things done maintenance wise would have occured if were a Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda, Kymco, ect.. What are your thoughts?

My belt and clutch are in good shape... cleaned dust out with rubbing alcohol due to fast drying.. We use it on electronics to clean too.

I got a 244cc engine.. lol.. with the Roketa mc-13-250...

;D My scooter has become quite squeeky. It is 4 years old and the shocks squeek. I tried spraying WD40 on them, but they still squeeked. I really like hearing my engine, to make sure everything is ok, but listening to the squeek makes it hard to hear other things. Is there any way to stop the squeek without replacing the shocks.

Ya, Roketa sometimes messes up on parts.. It really upset me when I wrote on the order form - Rear Rim for MC-13-250 and Roketa sent me the rear rim for the MC=54B... A $100 rim that would do nothing for me... Roketa did take the MC-54B rim back and sent the correct rim, since it was their fault, but it is the inconvenience that comes to play.

Hi, my scooter gets 65 to 70 mpg... Poor gas milage can be created by several things. 1. carb out of adjustment, 2. valve out of adjustment, 3. a fuel leak, ....

With all the Arabs mad at the United States, well I would not be surprised if gas shot up to $10 per gallon. $3.75 here in Belle.
