Why can I hear the weights spinning on my Roketa scooter?

by Helena
(Titusville, Florida)

When I replaced my belt on my 150cc Roketa weights to 12g, why do I hear them spinning or at least that's what I think I hear?


The guy who changed them before put only 5 weights and some other object, do you think he ruined the variator? It runs okay, but I worry about the noise...

well IT WAS the clutch after all. The clutch that twice I paid for someone to fix and never replaced. MY mail person saw me struggling with my scooter, then told of a man the was going to school learning how to fix motorbikes who lived down the block from me.

The nice guy came over and help me put the belt on, which really was a bear to do, and didn't charge me a dime. Thanks to the good Samaritans who are still out there.

Battery Tender Junior in package

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.

Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.

One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.
