turns out they ended up giveing me the upgraded battery from powerideoutlet ,that was 49.99 upgrade the gtx 9-b ,so I am not sure what the actuall battery would have been ,its 8ah ,the power sourse is 11ah an 250cca,but so far the one they gave me I have to give more credit for it,they do need a slow charge ,they say charge it for 2hours is good ,but its not ,an on a regular charger ,it can couse boiling ,so from now on it will be the 1amp trickle charger ,its got to be better then throwing a slow 6 amps at it ,wich is realy made for the car battery so for anyone thinks all batterys are the same when comes to charging they are not ,so guess to some up my thought for now slow is good when charging,then when rideing season put the tender on it few times a month depending on how long the ride is ,a car battery uses a different higher amp charge or low to for longer ,the scooter battery should allways have a low amp charge or so wikpedea says  ,I could be wrong as I am a lot but what works for me ,an the tms I talk about I put on over 2 hour charge was boiling at 2,5 hours an not takeing a full charge,so that was proof I guess they want you to buy more batterys ,lesson learned |

yes I see you know a lot about your scooter a lot more then I know I heard in one thread probley bye this time next year I may no mine a lot better >:Dgood job ellpee ,an I am sure I will ,couse a lot of things are about safety for me since the 2007 bike accident ,its one thing when some dummy hits you ,an another when it has to do with poor workmenship that would stink ,so yes when the sun starts siting higher in febuary then march I am sure I will spend a lot of hours just thinking about what next to check on the scooter ,or replace ,then hopeing by may june when its real nice rideing weather can just enjoy an tinker to ,I am learning a lot from you guys though,an certain threads I have printed up so i dont have to go searching for them later on ,an today wow heat wave 32 from =20 then tuesday back to deep feeze I hear most of the country will be in this record break deep feeze,so why not run the scooter again today so far I have got to run it each week so not to bad

wow that's crazy it does happen someone steals it sells it on net to the one who does not know its stolen sells it cheap uses any name to sign the sales record ,does not show no real id ,an the guy who bought it was scewed,i get drivers licence # an have things notorized at bank ,that realy could be the case ,then the guy who buys it ,gets screwed couse hes got no proof ,or hes lieing one of the 2 ,hope it works out for you though,i guess the guy they got would have to prove who sold it to him whear an when ,yes the guy who claims got it on net better have evidence of the sale ,then they would get the real thief ,but if that's the case they should be able to track the seller down ,through whearever he got it on net they would have have account

thank you steve I may seriously think about a kit for mine its brandnew ,at a steal it price would be great ,I am sure most have to admit there making a lot off the kits ,like a used one without tires an get my own would be great ,I think I would not like to spend more then 500.00 for a kit its probley all there worth ,but the sellers know they got people sucked in ,mostly that are not feeling so steady anymore .I think its terrible that they make that much off a kit at the exspence of ones joys in life ,

speaking of trikes i seen the kits they have to make mine to a trike ,I am not convinced I want to spend near 2 times the cost of the scooter for one ,yet nice though powerride has mcr95 250cc trike made to be a trike I guess if I realy wanted one ,the price is about the same to upgrade to the kit ,as to just get a trike my figure is the upgrade wich wont look as good is about 300.00 more then just buying ,the mcr95 trike brand new ,would be about 4800.. into upgradeing mine ,the trike itself 4500.00,there costing way to much for me ,its my hope that the price will go down ,my z28 was 4500.00 a song an mint with 69000 then . miles, sorry if I don't make sence to some ,nothing better to do on a cold day ,I could see myself on the bms though one day if this jonway runs for while an does not nickle an dime me to death

I was told bye a jap bike tech to give it full charge though they had given the battery 18 hour trickle charge on exspencive charger not all of us have one of those ,then bring it in house at normal temps,its good for a month or 2 then slow charge it inside only in winter when not using it ,an I never had trouble but then I had the top end yuasa batterys then,so now I bought a middle I guess type power sourse seems to have desent one ,I guess realy what it come down to is the luck of the draw ,an some how we take care of them making sure they don't go dead one to many times.,i read reviews about the tms at one sight for a cheap battery it had good 4 star rateing ,an I guess one guy had 2 leakers in a row ,well I did not want to be that guy but only time will tell ,I hear good an bad if we dont take care of them 33.00 to 250.00 one can pay for a battery,they wont last long ,I guess .one is more likely to get a leaker or bad one the cheaper there made ,the powersouce has one year warranty ,no questions asked replacement ,as long as not abused ,was what i was told bye seller on ebay ,so again I guess tires batterys ,its different strokes for different folks .some tell me I take to good care of my things,i don't think that's possible couse I fall short to ,just for instance most day one could eat off my wheels speaking back to my summer car,16 coats of wax a year ,I have the time couse I work at home

for me its easy to read the capitol letters so diffrent strocks for diffrent folks ,but now that I know I will only use them when I am upset an I guess that if I am I should not leave post until I am feeling right ,I don't want to say anything wrong to offend anyone ,an I still strongly think that my comparing above the falkins Chinese made no holes no flats no leaks ,a few burntouts ,an just a good tire at a good price ,about 125.00each for my car ,scooter one kid said the shinkos work for him so will see this avon how much are they ,should I google it |

One more time. I believe I have posted this difference several times on this forum. MC 54 250 is the 244cc scoot. MC 54B 250 is the 257cc scoot. (? for the cc call) They call them both to be 250cc. Some have a letter B at the end of the number mounted on the side of the rear area. MC 54 250B, which does not make my engine a horizontal 257cc. .roketa.com/product/productlist/2610.shtml" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> .roketa.com/product/productlist/2610.shtmlWhen in here go to the listing of all the scoots styles and then look into the engine on the assembly drawings. .............................. Thanks for that nice wrap up. . |

wow yes I was surprised but not to much that mine said roketa mc250b roadster ,then the title read jonway 250t wich I did get fast like said I did read threads just a few years ago guys were waiting weeks even months to get the proper paper work to register them ,an like I say while its to be 2013 version an supposed to be better each year like you say I do think a lot of the parts very well could have came off others. or been laying around,i could have got the left over 2008 ,I did wonder why it was the only left over year ,he said they sold all the other years ,I have heard 2008 2011 2012 2013 ,but not the 2010 or 2009 ,long story short I got the 2013 as the price was 100 difference ,so for 1750.00 they still got 2008 ,seems strange but what do I know , 8-|I like that one ,so though the plates say 2013 ,well?  ?? who knows mine could be 2011 with 2013 plates on it ,so far one thing I do like is the fact the radiator in the front since at least that time ,an these things are selling all over the world like hot cakes |

its =20 today I dont do anything in that kinda weather I don't ride in winter at all ,the salt yuck it rust everything ,can couse slipping sliding ,in spring when the salt an sand washes away I will ride in cold weather ,45 50 for me,i have friend has 2 stroker on his 10 speed he loves the 100 miles to the gallon ,an seen him in snow storm rideing it screws in tires for tracktion ,then is when I think to myself I will enjoy the warmth of my winter car.,i think the only time I will get back out rideing anything below 20 besides a warm car ,is a snowmobile with heated suit .so guess for me its rideing certain things for certain seasons ,if I don't feel comfortable I don't ride ,rain don't ride ,don't have wipers for my helmet yet ,yes if it one way home oh well ,I ride to enjoy ,I guess I understand for some its the primary transportation,.an I know for some its the journey of rideing in the freezing cold ,not for me ,I have another friend rides the Harley all winter ,one day he rides up holes in the gloves face red as an apple ,an said scot think I should get a new pair of gloves ,an mabey a better hat ,I said how about a heated suit ,he said aaahhhh I am good ,i said your crazy ,got to love him though ,I also think the risk it a lot more ,then the nice spring day was 2008 90 hot got on my dl 1000 wearing shorts an got hit ,flying like super man I felt a few rolls ,I was going to live ,an the rideing conditions were good ,sorry if I don't make any sence its just me got question just ask scott

sorry the same thing happens to me then I cant figure out what there saying allways ,but I don't call people out on it ,what i was saying is the wider tires wear faster ,an I have falkins on my 1995 z28 wich has been making tires since the 50s CHINESE  ,an there a good tire so I guess its unfair that if we are going to own Chinese scooters ,an the tires ,they cant all be bad ,its ok I forgive you anyone that does not understand me ,couse I don't allways understand every one ,an I probley should check my spelling a bit more thanks ellpee,the capital letters seems to be a matter of opinon ,I figured one can read the thread easyer ,personaly I am not going to put $125.00 tires on my scooter I payed 1850.00 for ,or I guess I would have saved my pennys an got a honda if that were the case ,an like i say honestly I got learning disability that only affects me when I get in a hurry ,or I did when in school spelling was not my best |
