Hi JR and all you scooterists and students of the Professor--I am a member here although I don't get to hang out as much as I would like..as JR knows,I usually show up when I need help or advice or parts--lol--I am a long time owner of a Roketa MC 54 250 B ,year 2008 and have only about 4500 miles on it,so you can see I don't get to ride much..but I do have a few tales to tell,like the time I wrecked on a windy day and got some road rash on the scoot and some serious bruises on my body..but it can't always be all fun,and now I got to do some maintenance on the bike..I think the valves need adjustment,since at 4500 miles they must be due,and it is getting a little sluggish,and I would like to find a valve adjustment tool...I know you can strip it down and use regular hand tools but prefer to find the special tool,if someone knows where one is for sale..JR knows the one I refer to ...at one time someone mentioned that they had one for sale but I can't find that thread ,so if you know please contact me ,pm ,or on this site...I am glad to see the forum growing and all the new faces on here ...this is the friendliest forum on the internet,and hope to see it continue to flourish ...and JR ,hope you got all those veggies and fruits harvested before first frost--we got a biggun this morning..later,ffintstone---happy scootin' all

Your welcome, fflintstone. You can find this tool at other sites, but you will probably pay shipping.

The #49 is a two piece set for early British motorcycles. The universal six piece set that they describe is really the #55 which costs quite a bit more. Good job on ordering the right one at a good price. |
