So according to my Chinese owners manual I am now due for another gear oil change, CVT belt replacement, oil change. What other items should I inspect at this mileage. I read about the valve inspection / adjustment which it seems i am way overdue for. I basically haven't done anything to this bike except oil changes every 1000 miles as it mentions in the book, I did the gear oil at 600 miles like it said, and now its due again at 5000 miles with the belt. I haven't had any problems yet from it, my rear tire is showing some wear, front looks good still. Just curious for your thoughts?

I am going to check and adjust the valves tonight while doing the other maintenance items. I have the belt already that I got from dealership I bought the bike from. He offered to do this service for me for 295.00 LMAO!!!! I said no thanks. They have been nice though and gave me a 6 month warranty even though I never used it. I've had the bike now about 9 months total and enjoyed every minute of it.

How often should I worry about changing the fuel filter? It still looks clean (its clear so I can see through it) but was just wondering.

Change the fuel filter and the air filter. The fuel filter must be for a gravity feed ..not for cars... I would also think about a new petcock or fuel pump diaphram..depending on what you have...also time to check the variator weights for flat spots...check all hoses for cracks as well as the valve stems on each wheel..

Thanks for the information sprocket, this is exactly what I am looking for. A lawn mower fuel filter should be ok right? I will order a new petcock from scrappy dogs and replace that as well.

Yes..Briggs and Stratton has a red filter for mowers and snow blowers etc.. that is what I use
