And



Does anyone know approximately how much fork oil goes in the forks on these bikes? I pulled about 260cc per leg, but will add more if necessary.

Thanks!

Bike is dripping oil a little, from shifter shaft seal. Anyone have the part number?

[Landsvw]

Probably this one, from my research results. May micrometer it too, to verify.

The seal should have dimensions on it and it should be available at the local bearing shop.

Thanks. I'll check.

I'm still investigating my frame style. Seems like maybe a Suzuki or Kawasaki front triangle. But the rear triangle is bolted on, then welded.
So strange. No real leads yet. Maybe it is an original...

Rode to get donuts today. Runs great!

Have a look at a Beta Alp 200 frame, forks, etc..

The bikes look similar, but the frames are very different... Mine does seem to have been originally designed for a monoshock type suspension. It looks like a mini version of a klr or xr600 or something.

I installed brush guards I had laying around, Honda originals; Fixed sticky brake master cylinder, and finally found the numbers on the seal. 14 28 7. The exact seal I've listed above, and so that's the Honda part number.

My bike frame has a very close resemblance to the Honda nx250. Not quite it, but getting closer. And, definitely the right frame style. Here's an NX250 frame:



And again, here's mine:

[Landsvw]

It's gotta be a copy of something, with the tooling and stamping of key parts. It's partly round tube, partly square tube, and then there are stamped, shaped and welded pieces that definitely come from some Japanese companies' old tool and dies, sent to Chongqing China.
The fact that the rear triangle was actually bolt on, with the bolts actually in, but then was welded over top of them, gives me more clues to this.

I'm enjoying the process.

[Mudflap]

Sure looks like the 2002 Beta Alp 200 frame to me.

That backbone is incredibly steep on your Roketa. Perhaps some further searching will produce a Beta frame for comparison. My buddy used to have a Beta, but he sold it last year (or else I'd snap some spy pics for you).

By golly, I think you're right! I hadn't been able to find an older Beta picture last night. Here's the same spot on mine and the Beta:





So, Italian frame design with Honda 3rd world engine design. The best of both worlds! Like the Shelby Cobra of motorcycles!

Check it out!

Got a frame manual now! Thanks Mudflap!

Knowing that the Beta was a combo trials/enduro/street bike explains the Roketa's unusual features. Short travel suspension, reversable foot pegs, large diameter forks, extra tough swing arm, low seat height, straightish handlebars, super low gearing, etc.. Wonder if anyone has used one of these as a trials bike?

I tell you what, it's a really enjoyable non threatening bike. I think my wife may be able to learn on it pretty easily. And, my sister can ride it really easily too. Short legs lol.
