Just got my Roketa Storm 250

It does look like the Jonway pipe would fit, but you could likely pick it up for less on Taobao.

The cat and the AIR-style device. It is the tube on the cylinder head, just in front of the spark plug, and it injects a puff of air into the exhaust stream to assist the cat. I'd block it off.

Thanks for the ongoing write up on your new bike. Very timely for me, as I am thinking of buying a new Bashon 200:

I live on the big island of Hawaii, so shipping is more than for most buyers. I like that green color. Too bad about the gas leak.

I looked at that place.. I got mine from HERE The shipping was free.. But the bike was more expensive LOL..I shopped around and all in all their price was best. I guess you will always get hit for shipping where you are. I'm only 5'6" and the 250 (229) is just a little tall for me, I'm sourcing a shock from the 200 as it's about an inch shorter and will work fine I believe.

I'm also thinking of getting a bigger front sprocket.. I have doe 300km on mine and it feels like it's bedded in nicely. I gave it a good twist the other night and it got to 65mph (on the clock) LOL.. I ran out of gas too.. I was in the middle on nowhere on dirt roads I had never been on before and it got me home, although I was having anxiety attacks because I didn't know how long reserve was going to last. I "guessed" (conservative) the bike does 60mpg so the 1 liter should have got me 15 miles.. this is all through liters and kilometers and conversions.. so it was a bit sketchy.. but I got home and I did 13.6 miles (22 kilometers)

I think the tank is pressurized, and I filled it too full. The gas was pumped out through the vent. My theory anyway. I have always had screw on caps with breather pipes before, so this seems odd form the get go.

I'm pretty happy with it all in all.. I know corners have been cut, I'm not so stupid that I expected real quality lol, but it is sufficient to do the job. So far so good anyway. I hope to see further posts from you, whatever you choose.
