jmabrao, if you will download the manual provided by this forum, and look at the section and starting with the page I mentioned, You will see exactly what needs to have lube and what type to use. The manual is a very good valuable tool furnished by JR. Take a good look.

thetucks, hello, I have the VOG260, the 2007 original model with the Mono shock rear end. I have only had a minor problem or two, like loose connectors and a bad tail light socket. It has over 5K miles and has never needed the valves adjusted. Don't be surprised when you hear a clunk sound in the front as you hit a bump. This cannot be fixed so get used to it. I have this scooter and the MC250-54B. They feel very different when you ride. I'm big 260 lbs 6 ft and I feel better on the taller VOG. I have opened mine up several times, it's not fun, so be sure it has had the PDI by the previous owner. Enjoy the ride, ADIOS

jmabrao,I would be concerned about the clutch squeak. Give a little more info, does it squeak as you start moving then go away after you are cruising, explain this better, is it a squeak-squeak or a steady solid squeak. Does it do this when on the center stand and you gradually rev up the engine? This could be the Rear Disk Brake not the Clutch. Have you checked the engine oil level and the rear gear oil level. A bearing can squeal when going bad. JR will have more things for you to think about. Good luck

Honestly you are not missing much, the radio is very poor, I never use mine.

This was on my wife's Roketa Mc250-54B, Originally It used rubber expansion nuts installed in the blind holes. I don't know what yours uses. This mod is there forever. the metal expansion nuts must be installed properly, they cannot be removed. I use a rubber washer on each location between the windshield and the expansion nut face, you can make this very tight. Most of my rattles are other things behind the fairing.

axplayer, what are you riding? The variator has a nut on it not a bolt. Did you remove the cover to get to the variator nut to tighten it? You need to pull the cover off, remove the nut from the variator and pull off the variator and inspect the variator to see if the rollers/sliders are in the track. Hopefully you will find a minor problem here. good luck.

rhdavidson, you need to give more information than what you have provided here. Does it cough, sputter, chug-chug, whine, crank-crank, get the idea. Give us some clues, IE strong fuel smell etc.

Both of my scooters are without cover gaskets, they do have filters, keeping out dust and dirt will give you longer life for the belt and pulleys.

Find what the size numbers are, I.E. 988x 28x30, If you get that size number you probably can find a Gates or Mitsuboshi belt much cheaper, Just a guess.

gnoik, I use this tool, it captures the screw head and works fine, Warm the engine, set your idle slightly high, turn the screw in CW slowly, rpm will drop. Then turn it CCW and rpm will start to rise, do this very slowly, when the rpm does not rise any more stop, This method has always worked for me. Do everything very slow so the engine has time to respond. Look here to buy it, Good luck. powersport-superstore-inc.amazonwebstore.com/Motion-Pro-PILOT-SCREW-ADJUSTING-TOOL/M/B000WJBMQK.htm

What type of noise, is it a rattle, squeal, or something else. Everything should still be good at your mileage. Open the variator cover and check to see if the belt is still good, no pieces broken loose etc. Probably more likely the problem is in the variator slider/rollers housing.
