Hello. I recently bought a 2007 200cc Roketa DB-05 and I have a few questions I can't find answers to anywhere.
Can anybody tell me;
What clone this bike is? I was told a Suzuki DRZ400s? I want to find a speedometer in mph.

How do I make adjustments to the fork pressure and bike height (if possible)? All the answers I did find did not apply to my bike.

Does anybody know?

Sorta a clone of an old 125cc OHV Honda. We call that style, the most popular Chinabike, a 'Hondoid'.

You will not likely find a MPH speedo. I recommend just memorizing a few key speeds like 30,45,55 MPH. You're not going much faster than that anyways. :roll:

How to adjust the forks depends on the type, USD vs. conventional.

Enjoy the bike and your reading here, and please post pics. :D

Your bike has zero in common with a DRZ400, except that you can burn your hand on the exhaust. Other than that they are like apples and pyramids. :wink:

My Hondoid had the 'third type' of speedo offered by the Chinese.
It wasn't MPH or KPH.....it topped out at about 8.....wide open.
That was a really tough one to mark reference speeds. I needed a magnifying glass. The speed wobble was horrible! :lol: 8)
Yes...and welcome. Pics work.

Welcome!

A digital bicycle speedometer is a cheap solution; just make sure to get the backlit version.

Welcome! If you decide to get a bicycle speedometer, make sure you get a wired unit. The wireless bicycle odometers don't work properly with motorcycles. ;)

If you wish to increase the fork preload, you can put PVC spacers on top of the fork springs. If you wish to lower the seat height, you will need to fabricate a lowering link, since you can't buy one manufactured for your particular motorcycle. ;)
