Hello all,

I am currently awaiting the delivery of my daughters Roketa Mini 90cc from Raceway and would like to know a few things before it arrives. Any help would be much appreciated. Please don't preach about how much Chinese ATV's suck because it is her very first and I am not spending $1800 on an ATV that she will outgrow soon or not even like. So here goes:

1) Should I use regular unleaded fuel or Premium unleaded in it to get the best performance and longevity?
2) Is it OK or recommended to use a high quality synthetic oil in the engine or just use regular oil?
3) Does anyone know if a larger rear sprocket is available to lower the gearing on this model?

It has not come in yet so if you can offer any more information on it I would be very grateful.

Thanks

 

Im not going to preach chinese quads because I have a ton of them and have good luck with all of them because I have done the proper setup.

1) use regular gas. Nothing special because it will make no difference.
2) You can use any synthetic oil or regular oil. 15w40 is ideal when hot or 10w30 cold.
3) You an get a front anad rear sprocket with a chain from a Kazuma meerkat50. I did this mod and it helped a ton. John at raceway has the parts. You may want to go to a bike shop for the chain because the meerkat chain is too short so I needed 2 chains to make it long enough to use.

Question for you is how old and how big is your daughter? How much property will she ride on? If you are mechanically inclined you should not have any problems prepairing the quad. Get some red and blue locktite for the nuts and bolts.

 

Thanks for the advice. I have seen you make quite a few posts in this forum. My daughter is 5 and she weighs about 45 lbs right now. I will have to turn down the throttle a lot to keep it under her control. She has ridden a battery ATV for about two years and has been riding a friends Kawasaki 50 lately so she has gotten a decent amount of beginner practice in. I decided to go with the 90cc hoping it would have more torque for taking off with the throttle turned down than the 50cc models. That has yet to be seen, so I figured I may as well go ahead and ask about the sprocket mods. I live in a very rural area and have about 150 acres around us for her to ride without ever loading it on a truck. I will go this weekend and get the much needed loctite in anticipation for the delivery next week. (Hopefully)

 

The 90 does have alot of power but limited back it has no low end because of the high gearing. These are super fast on top but if you limit it too much and get to a hill it will not go up. The sprockets helped alot. My sons meerkat 50 was a semi auto and was great because you did not have to limit it much. I just picked a gear and let him go. I got him the 90 because he outgrew the physical size of the 50. Also my youngest son is 4 1/2 and it is hard to squeeze the hand brake. I prefere the foot brake of the 50. I had to modify the handbrake so he could reach it with his fingers. You may or may not have to do the same.

 

Yeah, I was thinking about the handbrake problem too. I will work it out somehow. I see that you also have a JetMoto 150. I have been wanting to get another one for my 13yo son. I have been looking at the 110,125, and 150 JetMoto for him. I was leaning toward the 150 because of the size of the frame and its only about $100 more than the 125. How do you like yours? Will it hold up for a young teen for a couple of years? I appreciate all the info.

 

The 150 is ok but I would wait till the 07's mcome out. The new ones are going to be alot better.

 

Really? Do you know what kind of changes are going to be made and when they are going to be available?

 

Hi, I am going to be a new owner as well. Where do I find information on the sprockets to get more performance?

Thanks.

 

From what I have been reading on these forums, Raceway ATV has the sprockets. I am going to wait till I get it in to see if I need more low end or not.

 

Okay, thanks for the info. I think I will wait as will to see what the back end power is.
