fuzzybabybunny Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I know that people here don't like the ROS 125 motor and I'm concerned as well, especially because some websites say that replacement parts are hard to come by. Unfortunately, I'm in New Zealand and I want to do a paramotor course and purchase a lightweight motor. The only option available to me is a Backbone Stronger 125 that uses the ROS 125 engine selling at $5,500 NZD / $3,730 USD, which I think is a good price. Because of this, I feel like I'm kinda funneled into getting the ROS 125 and will just have to deal with any shortcomings it has. The instructors selling it say they've never had problems with the motor. How easy will it be to service and get parts and repairs on this kit?

rsquared Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Not trying to be smart....but surely the instructor that is trying to sell you this motor would be the best person to ask regarding spare parts and maintenance etc. If they can't supply the spare parts, find a dealer who can, or ask the instructors where they get their spare parts.

mgrant Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 As PAP use (or used) the ROS 125 I'd say that a PAP dealer would be able to help you. I know @cas_whitmore bought some ROS bits from one of the UK PAP dealers. I think they may have been the same as HE parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
