#1 for me would be there actual website www.roketa.com/product/product_support.jsp?cateID=2610&sonCateID=0&proID=27312It has about 99% of the parts and an exploded view of each category. I've placed 2 orders from them and they have shipped next day and it's taken 5 days to reach me in Texas from them in CA. #2 would be (a much higher place) www.roketapartsdept.com/catalog/MC_54B_250_PARTS-363-1.htmlI don't like how they have there parts listed. It's in no particular order even though the picture is number. I think they copied that and just list the parts under that. #3 Is really a run off of parts from ebay which is sometimes the cheapest and another website I found that strictly list the Jonway YY250-T as their parts for although we know it's the same scooter. #4 And I'm going to add in another website that I think is really helpful and their prices are very competitive that I check when looking www.scrappydogscooters.com/COMMON_PARTS.htmlThis is the common parts listing which a lot fit the 250cc. Hope this was helpful and I'm sure you'll run across more! Just let us know if you discover a place that maybe we haven't come across!

Most importantly where do I get a oil temp replacement? Is it 100% necessary? If it has to stay I was just gonna use some black ATV Silicone to keep it sealed better. Pics to follow with the wiring re-done and much to my amazement there were some wires not even going to each other. Someone had a white going to green, Or I think it was green to black. How did this thing even run at all? One things for sure until I starting grabbing the wires and leaned up against the rectifier they were very hot. The rec was hot to touch! Even the fuse was starting to melt.... It didn't pop yet in the middle it had tiny bubbles in the plastic and it was warm..... This dream of riding a scooter is turning into a nightmare.

Cool mxmatt! I too want to order one of these even though I've got one I've been working on. Not getting too far with it at the current moment.... But I figure if I get it lined out and cleaned up I should sale and add that to the cost of a new one. It seems plenty big for a scooter and should make for a comfortable scooter. I was going to also order from KM. Another company I found on the web was powerrideoutlet. They seem to have some good prices and pictures. KM usually has videos of their products which is a nice touch. Congrats on the purchase and I will be following you closely as I'm sure a lot of others will!

Awesome vids guys! BTW is there any place that you go as a one stop shop for plugs, wires, hoses, and other replacement parts? Inexpensive and fast shipping?

No problem Adam! I plan on replacing the gasket. Also while you mentioned it what is the torque spec for that "NUT"?

I'm sure there is a thread about this subject.... But I have to ask anyway! Are there any instructions/videos that show step by step on how to remove the rear wheel from the scoot? Or at least which side would I go at it from? Logic would tell me the muffler side..... I guess I'll have to replace the exhaust gasket if I pull that off? First time!!!

I never knew it was so big! I started looking into it to possibly paint my scooter.... I like the look of your wheels!!! Plasti Dip is amazing! People are painting there entire car! A lot of people say why? A lot of people say why not? Easy way to change the color and it's actually a protectant in some form.

After all this time something points me in the direction of me having a Yamaha clone not a honda! Is this bad? I may have been misinformed all this time.... I decided to snoop around in the Jonway parts since seeing on the headlights last night it had YY250T on them.... What was I thinking? Maybe it is a Jonway after all... Although all Roketa parts match up perfectly. Seing as they are the same company? Looking to get some clarification on this!!! Thanks guys!

I've kinda got it narrowed down. Something that will be a real big help to me will be if I can get some input on what a scooter will act like when...... The fuel pump isn't doing it's job?............. The scooter is too rich?.............. The scooter is too lean?............... Up to this point I really can't narrow the bogging down issue until I hook it up an air box. It's on it's way..... Some insight in the mean time would really be helpful! I've wanted to give up a couple of times, But yet here I am..... Still trucking along. I know most of you have felt this way before. Thanks for your help thus far.... Without it I would be no where. Even though that's how I feel now
