I think I'll go w the reg oil. One place on my scooter says use SAE 15w/40 and another place on my scooter says my use 10W/30, not sure which to use. These dont even come with a manual. LOL. I live in Miami Beach. Its about 80 degrees year round and humid during the summer. We get a cold 40 degree day about 5 times a yr randomly. I drive around the beach and usually drive around 20mph, sometimes I go as fast as 35 but I never really drive more than 30 min total and thats a long time for me. What do you think? 10w/30 for me? I drive the scooter daily too. I think the longest I'd let it sit w/ out driving it is 24 hrs maybe.

say if the manufacturer says that it needs to be adjusted after 25K miles

wow 25k, miles, that would rock. My last scooter lasted 9 mo and 2,600 miles before it would have cost more to fix than to buy a new one LOL.

Thanks for the advice on the valves. I tried to do the right thing w my last scooter and got the good fully synthetic oil and had them replace my current oil with it, then I heard that scooters shouldnt use this kind because it doesnt work well w the way they are made. Hmmm.

It would also be great if my scooter CAME w a manual but its so cheap it doesnt. I'll do the oil at 1,000 miles thanks. Hopefully I can get this cheap scooter to last 1 yr or more this time. I'm going to be more gentle with it, covering it when it rains, putting high temp engine enamel paint on the undercarriage parts that rusted out a week after i got the scooter last time ( i took pics to see what parts rusted ) also im going to be a lil more gentle w the brakes and it overall. Try to make this cheap lil guy last.

I ran my 1st scooter into the ground and just sold it to a repair kinda guy. I learned what to do and not to do with a 50cc scooter now. I am about to buy a new one from the dealership. I heard that you should have the brakes adjusted and the valves adjusted after so many miles. Is this true and why? How important is this? After how many miles should you? What happens if you don't? Thanks

wow bong that is some lag time right there, ya im just gonna eye ball it, i dont want to have to take it apart or spend money on this lil piece of crap scooter, was hoping there was some quick kick it somewhere fix. giggle.

Hello. I started my scooter today and about 30 seconds after I started it the fuel guage dropped to empty and stayed there (it is however full) and everything else on is still works fine. Any idea what the issue may be? I tried to stop and restart it but the fuel guage won't go up at all, its just like dead looking.

Well I used my kick start so much that I busted it ( lesson learned ) So I had no choice but to put the new battery in. I installed it no problem, it started right up and the lights were WAY brighter than usual so I guess it really needed a new battery. I drove it around for 45 min to charge it up. So to WORKDOG95 who created this thread, my scooter is no longer making the noise your scooter was making and it was due to needing a new battery, hopefully that is all yours needs too

thanks mthomas. there are no outlets outside i can plug the scooter into so i cant get a charger. i do need to get the valves adjusted prob since i never had it done and its at 1,800 miles now. yes it sits in the sun all day. my neighborhood is 20 blocks north to south and 10 blocks wide so i never drive more than about a mile or 2 at a time. thanks for the advice on the sea foam. thanks about the screen name. ya pompano is about an hour north of me. ive been meaning to get up that way to check out a party. i moved down from NY a lil over a year ago.
