I'm not to discouraged about routine maintenance items, just helps to know what they are. the sheet the dealer gave me and the owners manual says nothing about what I've experienced so far LOL. will make it a part of routine to check/replace belt and veriator rollers and valve adj.

yup I'm in agreement about the warranty but then what warranty is worth a crap anymore. slowly learning how to fix things. spent over 30yrs in industrial maintenance but scooters are a new critter to me

drive belt broke, chewed up veriator rollers. deler fixed it at my expence. said it wasn't covered under waranty. now it starts but when you try to excelerate it stalls. of course the dealer says bring it in we will look at it but valve adj is not a waranty item
