Hi bought a Baotian BT50QT-11 and came of it, tried to get the bike checked out a few months later even though there did not seem to be a problem and could not find anyone who would give it the once over. I have now got a puncture and can not remove the back wheel to get it repaired again i can't find anywhere that will even look at the bike. can anyone on this forum give me some advise as to where i can get this sorted. i am living near swansea in wales  |

I would come and fix your bike for free.. But you live too far away! Your gonna have to buy the tools you need and do it yourself  |

There must be a lot of very well off garage owners in Wales if they can turn business away like that.
I took my wee 50cc Bajaj scoot and then the Adly125cc that followed it up to my local bike garage. Ok so they hummed and hawed a bit at first but did services on both.
I can't belive they wont change a tyre, what on earth have they got to lose. If the job is a hassle so what, they are charging you by the hour so you simply end up paying more.
When they did the Adly service I made it clear I was happy to take the bike away if any faults were found, source the parts myself, and then bring it back for them to fit. This way there was no chance they were going to have a bike stuck in their garage while they struggled to find spares.

Scooter are actually quite easy to work on. I would reccomend you download the service manual from the welcome page & have a go at it yourself. I did not know anything about scooters when I bought mine last year. But I have been able to conquer the problems I have had, by myself, with the assistance & advice from the great people on this forum! #thumbs_up#

If a BT50 is anything like a Baotain 125, then you need to remove the exhaust first. That'll give you access to the nut holding on the back wheel. Be warned, that nut is on MEGA tight. You'll need a lever of some type on the end of the wrench. (To give you some idea on how tight it was on mine.. I had a 4ft steel tube on the wrench pushing down at the same time as the back brake was on HARD, and two people sat on the back of the bike burying the tyre into the floor)
Take off wheel - take wheel to bike tyre shop. They will do the business there.
Then you just put it back on by reversing the above steps.
I did it first time by myself. Maybe worth a call to the place you bought the bike from to see if they have any support / technical numbers which can help you if needed.
