thanks!

thanks.

Ok, my scooter has 68 miles on it and I just refilled the gas for the first time so I decided to also check the tire and and oil while I was at the gas station. Tires were fine, oil seemed low and I didn't want to just add oil to it, not knowing what it came with, so I did my first oil chage w/ 10w/30 regular oil. I asked a bunch of scooter shops in the area (since they are used to the weather here in Miami) and they all said use reg 10w/30 oil for the engine. The oil change went fine other than it was a bitch to get the cap back on ( line up the threads ) with the spring working against me but I made it happen. Then I filled it up a little too much ( I was checking along the way too ) and the last thing I wanted to do was take that cap back off so I siphoned the oil back out where the dip stick goes with a straw and my thumb It worked well, took a while of checking and redoing it but all is well. There were no little metal shards in the filter and just because I already did the oil change at only 68 miles I think I'm going to do my next one after another 150miles so it has more time to break in. After that I'm going to do it every 621 miles ( strange # right) well the manual says every 1000km so here in America, that means every 621 mile LOL. I don't know why they can't put the type of engine and gear oil to use in the manual, just how often to do stuff.

It says next at 186 miles to replace gear oil, check/clean spark plug and clean carb, but nothing about adjusting the valves or brakes as I have heard to do pretty early on, are these 2 items really necessary? Is it hard to do. I'm still shaky w doing my own things but I want to learn So far I've only replaced engine oil and a battery and a fuse on a scooter before

robb its air cooled 4 stroke it has the little strainer looking reusable oil filter

thanks. im going to start doing my own oil changes and will keep up on them. other stuff like valve adjustment i will try, i want to learn how to do all my own work, i saw a carb cleaning video and i was like oh man if i do that i hope i can get it back together again.. first order of business.. buy a socket wrench set this week

Hahahaha. Adjust the flower u know.... the flower! LMAO.

Okay so I get the cheap as hell Chinese new scooters and they seem to come w/ a manual that offers me no help. It is obviously written w/ out being proofread. I think they just throw it into a translator and print whatever is spit out. Check out part of one of the pages. The links below are pictures of one of the pages. LMAO.
