Having experienced driving on uneven roads a lot of times and making me go for payday loans due to my car breaking down, I've managed to drive with sheer concentration to the road and everything around me to prevent it from happening again.Sofia Brittshttp://www.purposecashadvance.com/payday-loans-online.aspxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27654266.post-1161859616381997572006-10-26T12:46:00.000+02:002006-10-26T12:46:00.000+02:00hello weiers. it's jp mercier. sorry i took so lon...hello weiers. it's jp mercier. sorry i took so long 2 reply, but the other day i wrote a lot on my phone and then it just went off! i am a matric student in malmesbury and i live 10km away from school. i use my gomoto to get to and fro. so it's vital to me. i have exams; what if my spokes break? i have friends in riebeek wes and in durbanville and sea point and in paarl. i also am going to need my bike to go to monthly SAUFOR meetings in pinelands. i love the economy and the durability for the price. iv'e had 2 125cc's before and the gomoto has the least troubles....if you know how to look after it. firstly, the headlights blowing! solution: connect the headlight in series so that you get a middle beam and not a high or a low. (they have a convenient connector in the headlight) the light is ok at all times of day and night. and it does not blow! secondly, rust. solution: treat your bike with a rust converter and primer on the vulnerable spots. a good product is Holts and it costs about R70. 3rdly, the flickers breaking off. solution: reinforce the base of the flickers with pratley epoxy metal(the grey 1). 4th, dirty carb. solution: treat the fuel with Spark fuel system cleaner. your carb is dirty when your bike jerks as you accellerate. if that does not work, set your O2/ fuel mixture on the carb. always ensure that the chain is lubricated and tight( not too tight!!!) the rubber holding the battery sould be oiled. the seat cover must be treated to avoid cracks. thats a bout it. i am still stumped about the spokes stretching! they don't come loose, they stretch, as i have glued the nipples and the spokes broke without the seal being broken! buggers! thanx weiers for ur sms. good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27654266.post-1161696646948846542006-10-24T15:30:00.000+02:002006-10-24T15:30:00.000+02:00HiThank you for the comment. And I am also very in...Hi<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the comment. And I am also very interested in finding an answer for your question. I find it interesting that you are the second person who asked me the question. <BR/><BR/>Francois also wanted to know. Each one of us got different answers. When I took my Gomoto in for a service to Scooter World, I was told that it would cost R500 to replace an old wheel with a new one with mags, but that they would subsidise it for me. I went ahead and orderd the new mag wheels, but a week later they called to inform me that they would not be able to replace the old wheels with Mags, but they replaced the wheel with the broken spokes for a new one with spokes under warrantee (for free). (The told me that the new gomotos with solid rims were different than the old gomotos with spoked wheels. I am not sure if this is in fact the case.)<BR/><BR/>I stopped asking questions then, but I still have a worry that my spokes will just break again.<BR/><BR/>I am going to try to find out and blog an answer.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if you would be prepared to share some of your experiences with your Gomoto with me. What do you use it for? Have you had some fun with it? What frustrates you about it?<BR/><BR/>Greetings.<BR/>WeiersWeiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05098300749932156027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27654266.post-1161687762627768842006-10-24T13:02:00.000+02:002006-10-24T13:02:00.000+02:00where can i get an affordable mag for my gomoto or...where can i get an affordable mag for my gomoto or where can i get spokes that don't stretch? it's really a problem for me. the dealers rip me off! they said that they will make a special deal through gomoto to replace my mag for R1700! i found out it's cheaper. i want to beat the middle man. the whole thing about a gomoto is a cheap workhorse with a fun factor. help me. jp mercier. cell:0722164250Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
