Scooters, Automatic Transmission 50 To 250CC (Haynes Techbook) First Edition

I own a scooter dealership and we have a lot of customers that buy parts and want to do their own repairs. While we don't actually use this manual at the shop, we loan it to a lot of our DIY customers and the feedback we get from this is fantastic. It's a must have for anyone with a scooter who is not a mechanic and wants to do their own work!

Despite the different makes and models of scooters, there are many similarities between them. This book takes advantage of that, and instructs you on how to service the various components generally, and not specifically; service information specific to a particular make and model is not given. For example, in chapter 10 ("Electrical Systems") figure 7.1: "Wiring diagram for a typical turn signal system". Diagrams specific to each scooter model are not given. The idea here is after reading the manual, you should be sufficiently familiar with the components of a scooter that when you service yours you won't have too much difficulty, even if your scooter's engine and drivetrain isn't exactly like the one in the pictures. This does mean that there isn't a lot of hand-holding; if you want service details specific to your scooter model you'll have to buy the official service manual from the manufacturer (and pay the high prices).The list of specific models covered by this book is derived from the "Data" section, where information (torque settings, bore and stroke, etc.) specific to each model is listed.It would have been nice if time were taken to explain the operation of parts that are unique to scooters. For example, the variator (part of the CVT) is not something found on motorcycles and most cars. Chapter 6 (covering the transmission) explains how to remove and service the variator, but does not explain how it works. The addition of this information would strengthen the book considerably, as it would educate the reader as to the "why", and not just the 'how".The content is a few years old, and more recent models are not included. This is something to keep in mind if you have a recent scooter with an unusual engine, such as a Yamaha C3, which is fuel-injected.One thing to be aware of is this book is apparently written for a British audience (Haynes Publishing is a British company). This means that British English is used throughout, as opposed to American English. You'll see "spanner" instead of "wrench", "petrol" instead of "gasoline", "tyre" instead of "tire", "renew" instead of "replace", etc. This isn't a big deal, but may take some getting used to. Reference section 18 is about the MOT Test, which is given in England and not the U.S.A.In all this is a very handy and useful reference. Combine this with parts diagrams for your particular scooter (obtainable online), and you should be prepared to tackle most service tasks.

They are the same.Roketa is a clone and is licensed to use the Honda Reflex 250cc model that honda has dropped from it's line up. The haynes techbook has it on the cover as well as in the contents. I changed tires, lubed axle spline with honda special grease for spline, changed tranny lub and drained the oil. lubbed the speedo cable , stopped the gas leak. specs are all there to do it right.

I purchased this manual as a reference guide for my GY6 based scooter. The manual is typical Haynes, with many black and white photos, and fairly detailed instructions of common service tasks. The manual tries to cover 4 different brands, and many, many models over many years. It has most of what I need; troubleshooting, disassembly, lubrication instructions, and some helpful exploded diagrams. If you buy this book, be sure to have an original or aftermarket owners manual for your scooter as well, because you will need it. If you are already a fairly competent mechanic that has worked on scooters or motorcycles before, you may not get too much from this book. If you have never maintained a motorcycle, or are not familiar with the operation of CVT transmissions, small engines, etc., buy it.

This covers a lot of the Japanese and European scooters. If you have any of the many different Chinese models such as Jonway, Roketa, Argo, etc., get Haynes Number 4768, "Chinese, Taiwanese, and Korean Scooters, 50 to 200 cc". The Chinese have been cranking out about 20 million scooters a year for a long time and a lot of them are in the U.S.

THIS is the book for easy to understand repair manual..I'd tell anyone to buy this book that needed one...it's step by step on the repairs in question...great book

I bought this manual to be able to work on Chinese motor scooters. The problem I encountered was 1) that even within a single model year of a particular brand, there is no standardization of parts, and 2) that this manual is necessarily general and sometimes vague. The information one needs is probably there somewhere, but digging it out is tiresome. So is deciphering the Chinese rendition of the English language. Some of the images and diagrams are also confusing. I ended up selling off my Chinese motor scooters for what I paid for them and buying an Aprilia Scarabeo 150 (Italian design with an Austrian power train). It was the difference between night and day, and I cannot recommend Chinese scooters or this manual which does not really help much in a crunch. Two stars seems charitable.

I have a chinese scooter of which this book contains almost nothing. However, the repairs to it are very similar to the ones in the book as most chinese scooters are copies of popular existing brands-which this book covers in detail. So if you are mechanically inclined already, this book offers a lot of information.

This manual was delivered quickly and I found it quite useful, even if it was not specifically for my scooter.

I have a Yamaha Neo's 50 scooter and while there is an index of sorts, unless you know what model you have, its all a bit of a 'typical' layout to the repairs structure as the idea is that as the scooter of today is basically the same in construction as such - we are led to believe - then this should cover any problems you may have (in theory..). As I said, I have the above Yamaha model but in the 'index', it's not covered as such under its Neo's name but several other Yamaha models (possible American names?) are as in the spec for them like spark plug gaps settings etc. so unless you know what 'other' model name yours was sold under, you have to go on line to Google it to find out that way but as sort of 'guide', its not bad but like most other Haynes books, it seems to be printed on toilet paper (unused it has to be said..) as the pages are so thin you can almost see through it by holding it against any form of strong light as in light bulb or direct sunlight - I can remember, and still have, Haynes manuals that were printed on REAL paper unlike the thin, recycled stuff we have today and God knows we pay enough, so should have real paper to read from but I suppose we should sleep sound in the knowledge we are helping polar bears to survive a bit longer so they can carry on their part time modelling work for pictures on mint sweet wrappers.. - but that's a general gripe otherwise this manual is helpful to a degree and I did pick up one or two bits of help, so I have given it 4 stars.

80年代後半-2000年代前半の50-250ccスクーター（2スト・4スト）がテーマです。ホンダ・ピアジオ・ベスパ・ヤマハが対象ですが、応用はできます。高校上級レベルの英文ですが、好きな方なら専門用語はわかるでしょう。エンジン・冷却系・駆動系・サスペンション・カウル・ブレーキなど、ひととおりの分解写真があります。活用すれば、プロ整備士の方と同レベルの理解ができるでしょう。どうもありがとうございました。

I bought this book to help me understand the new Scooter I had just bought. I was new to scooters and I needed something to fill in the gaps in my knowledge. This book had excellent detail and pictures which helped me sort out initial teething issues and subsequent simple serving tasks.I would highly recommend this book for those new to Scooters and small motorbikes.

its good
