Hello all. New guy here. I have a 2005 Terminator/Roketa, 200cc, round chrome mirrors, 56T rear sprocket, etc. I bought it late fall of 2005, did not ride at all last summer due to a retinal tear/bleed (doc said NO BOUNCING ON A MOTORCYCLE) and am now in the mood to get the thing on the road. I have been lurking here a week or two, and I think I know I few things I need to do to make it a good commuter bike. Please tell me if I am on the right track. Bike has 200 miles on it, on third drink of oil (Rottella). These are my plans. Good ideas, or not?
1. Swap the rear sprocket for a 46T, a JTR269.46, so it will not rev out at 48 mph.
2. Get some decent mirrors.
3. Improve/move the battery holder. I can weld, would like to move it under the seat.
4. Move the clip in the carb down a notch. The bike is now a first kick starter, but hesitates when I open the throttle. Also tinker with the idle screw (bottom front of the carb, right?) to speed the idle up a bit.
5. Keep going over all the bolts and Loctiting them as they loosen.
6. Take my GPS unit on a ride and "calibrate" the speedo.
7. Get some advice from you all on how to diagnose/repair a gear indicator that indicates only first gear, if that. It worked when I got the bike, but no longer.
Thanks, Ron
