I'd say if you have that nut snugged up, that should be fine, just keep en eye on it, hope its fix, now get out there and do some riding  |

That nut on the bottom of the TREE under there is a BEARING same on the bottom the TREE has TWO bearings one on top under that silver piece and if you tighten that gold one down to much it makes puts to much pressure on the bearing and it will be hard to turn. Just tight enough so that the whole TREE does not move up and down or sideways but easy to turn.
The other bolt and nut HOLDS the HANDLEBAR stem onto the TREE and that has to be tight so the handlebars do not have any play.

Are you saying turning the switch to left was causing the front right to blink, and vice versa? If so, okay, swapping the two plugs around would fix that, but then what happens to the REAR turn signals? You might now be getting front left/rear right and vice versa. Something to check. |

thanks guys yes I had the problem one in front would blink right one in rear would blink left ,so I swithched the plugs before I put it back together ,now on the dash ,its opposite ,,but as long as I remember right is left ,an left is right they work at the same time ,it may be a the switch now .yesterday was looking at the back tighning up bolts ,I got a loose brake caliper ,I hope today it turns tighter that rear one seem poor design then again now I am seeing how the scooter itself is,theres a gap in the middle of the hex head bolt an it wont tighten anymore ,its loose but not falling off ,I may snap a pic an have the place I buy it from replace it ,so far it seems I have worked on this thing more then I ride it ,hope to get there though thanks scott

Hey scot,good job--and I had the same problem ,I accidently hooked the turn signal plugs up backwards and didn't notice until I got the windshield back on--took the fromnt plate off and managed to pull the plugs and wires down far enough to switch them around--if you got sorta small hands ,you can get up in there..good luck,fflintstone
:-[heh--left was right and right was left

When you put the switch in the "left" position, if I'm understanding you correctly either the front or the rear blinks left, but the other one blinks right. So whichever one is NOT blinking left, switch the plugs there and all should be good -- left should be left again for both front and rear.. |

yes when I buy it one was opostite from the other ,so knew I should fix that at some point ,an so they work at same time there just opposite on the switch ,I think I got a worse problem now than that ,the turn signals work ,?rear brake caliper is loose ,an there 3/16th gap that's hex head wont turn out or in ,an now I am going to try impact wrench on it ,I am not sure if it just happen or was like it when I buy it .but it looks pretty bad that it wont last like isaid working on the thing more then rideing it

Something to check. well like had said the new problem is that rear brake caliper ,being loose,its my guess its the design,as I took it apart unloosened the muffler to get to one on the main bolt s I did get that hex head off ,everything seems fine the little shock absorbers ,are what make it move a little ,I retighten all the bolts an the hex head ,its still loose but I suspect unless I have bad caliper or the pins are bad I don't know for sure but it seems ok,is yours loose a bit just move side to side a little not up an down but side to side ,i hope so thanks ellpee |

As to brake calipers, I've never worked on those on my Roketa, but have done tightness checks and don't recall any looseness. The metal parts holding the pads are of course supposed to move as pressure is applied to the cylinders, but I don't think they're supposed to be "wiggle-able," and certainly the cylinder itself should be completely tight. Maybe somebody more knowledgeable will chime in. |
