Try sticking some between the terminals of a 12V battery :). You can actually use steel wool to start fires in an emergency. I don't know how easy it would be to light with an ignition source other...

My Roketa has been super. There was a few hangups in the very beginning but it's been running almost maintenance-free (aside from oil changes and chain lube) for around 1000 miles now. It has 1600...

I still haven't got my bike up and running! I don't have a drill press, so the socket fix isn't going to be easy. I may be able to find someone who'd let me use their's but I don't know.

You guys are the best. That picture is the exact piece I'm needing. I left it in the wheel during a tube change that ended up being extended by a day because everything was closed on the fourth, so I...

Front wheel bushing/spacer

I'll spare you the long story, but somehow when I was fixing a flat, the bushing (spacer or whatever else it's called) for my Roketa db07 became lost. I now have no idea how to replace it as I don't...

I guess I'll have to invest in a socket set. This wrench isn't going to cut it. I hope that the bolt isn't too damaged.

However, I did use the little plug to change the oil so I'm okay for now.

That's exactly the one I'm talking about. I've never used the smaller bolt on the bottom. Maybe it's time?

Oil plug almost stripped off

The oil plug has never been a nice feature on my DB-07. It seems like the bolt head of it is tapered, and with the shiny finish on it it's almost impossible to keep a wrench from slipping off of it....

I noticed that my bike got faster and faster with each oil change too. It feels like it sheds some of it's sluggishness every time. I'm at 1200 miles right now and I ride it at 70+ miles per hour...

I had a blown bulb. I don't know if Viva's use the same bulbs as Roketas, but the part number is 7528(P21/5W) Sylvania. It's a European bulb. I had to search for it for a while, but it works.

Oh,...

Damn Chinese metal! I sheared off three bolts earlier. Luckily I could remove all but one of them (rear skidplate bolt) and I went to Ace and got some proper hardened steal bolts to replace them. Now...

Rattling to pieces

I'm closing in on 600 miles with my Roketa DB07 and things just seem to keep falling off. Even with Loctite. My right mirror (no kidding) has rattled off the mirror stem and flew off while I was on...
