Okay, so he came to the conclusion that the parts guys sent the wrong race.  Oh well, we reuse the old race and everything works perfect. Just found out the plastics are ready for pickup!! I now have a purple scoot! Can't wait to get them in the morning.  |

Hi guys, I know the diagram I need is here some place! LOL I got new bearings for the front of my bike, MC54B 250, and now there seems to be a bit of a problem. The new race is NOT big enough for the new bearing! Does anyone have a diagram that shows the order they go in? We have the exploded view from roketa site, but it has them laid out side by side instead of how they come out. Fixing to chunk that new race and use the old one, since it actually fits in that one. Thinking they just sent the wrong race with the set.

Looking to get new rims for the sugarscoot. I swear I saw a site that had the exact rims, painted some off the wall colors and in silver, for $109 a set, YES A SET! But now I can't find them! Grrr, anyone know of a good dealer that's cheaper than $90 each? Thanks guys! My parts should be painted by tomorrow!! Have the base purple on it at least. ;D

justbuggin2, we did that part. LOL Got the identical pump from a chevy. But now we've found both o-rings leaking and possibly the fuel pressure regulator also bad. So far, no cross reference found for them.

Latest update. Fuel pump not working, ordered one off ebay from a "cyclenetparts". He finally contacts me the day after it was due to deliver and tells me that it was sold and relisted. He's unable to get the part. So far, no refund on my money. NEVER USE CYCLENETPARTS on EBAY. Oh well, that's what we get for trying to put a used part on it I guess.  So now we're ordering it from our local dealer for almost double the price, but I bet it'll be in when they say. Working on my SugarScoot while we wait on the carb to come in for the Burgman. Hey JR, we just might come for a spin up your way next spring. |

tvnacman A paint shop about 2 blocks from us doing the main body color. Trying to find the guy in Eldorado that does the flames in the picture. He was at Bikes, Bugs, and Bands last year. We had his card, but can't seem to find it now.

We ran into the same problem with my 250B. My husband used bolts the same size with nuts and rubber washers along with a couple of flat washers. It's a pain to work your hands into the tiny spots, but it can be done. |
