Scooter Maintenance

Featured Products

A scooter is an excellent means of transportation, especially in crowded cities with their regular traffic jams. However, like any other vehicle, your scooter requires regular maintenance to work well for a long time. Otherwise, its performance may decrease, and you can end up on a roadside with a broken scooter. In our online store you can find lots of first-class products for technical maintenance. We carry fuel cans, oils and chemicals, cleaning supplies, tools, and replacement parts supplied by respected companies and featuring high reliability, excellent quality, and long lifespan.

Probably, the most important yet quite easy maintenance procedure is a regular check of the oil level in 4-stroke engines (2-stroke motors usually mix gas and oil and have no oil to be changed). It is recommended that you check the level monthly or every 250 miles and add oil if needed. Oil change can be made once in 1,000 miles or every six months. Oil capacity of the scooter is likely to be less than one liter, so changing engine oil is absolutely affordable and not too complex. At the same time, maintaining the right level and using fresh oil enable the engine to operate for a long time. Regular inspections of tire pressure are essential as well. As most scooters ride on only two wheels, tire pressure issues may easily lead to loss of control and accident. Other monthly maintenance jobs include the inspections of lights, horn, and battery level.

There are other procedures that should be performed in various periods of time. Every 6 months or every 1,000 miles it is recommended that you check throttle operation, brakes, tires for wear, inspect valve stems for cracks and splits, etc. Exhaust fasteners and muffler require your close attention too. Each year or every 2,000 miles it is recommended to change transmission oil, air cleaner, brake linings, wheel and steering bearings, and CVT drive belt.
