Maintenance items include oil change, air filter cleaning, spark plug replacement, air filter replacement, gear oil change, tire cleaning, motorcycle waxing, and gasoline refueling. The following is a detailed introduction about motorcycle maintenance: Oil filter: The oil filter is the oil cleaner, and its function is to filter out impurities, gum, and moisture from the oil, delivering clean oil to various lubrication points. Air filter cleaning: During maintenance, only the vibration method, soft brush removal method (brushing along its folds), or compressed air reverse blowing method should be used to remove dust and dirt attached to the surface of the paper filter element. For the coarse filter part, promptly remove dust from the dust collection area, blades, and cyclone tubes.
As a passionate motorcycle enthusiast, I can say from experience that scooter maintenance should never be taken lightly. Key maintenance items include regular oil changes—recommended every 500 kilometers to prevent engine wear; cleaning or replacing the air filter to avoid dust clogging; checking the gear oil, and ensuring the CVT system's belt and pulleys are lubricated to reduce noise. The braking system must be frequently inspected, including brake pad thickness and fluid levels. Tire pressure and tread are also crucial, as too high or too low can affect handling safety. Don't overlook body cleaning—wipe it down with a damp cloth regularly to prevent rust. I also check the lights and battery to ensure visibility during night rides. Regular maintenance keeps the scooter more durable, saves money, and provides peace of mind, reducing frequent trips to the repair shop.
I just started riding a scooter and find the maintenance quite straightforward. As a beginner, I focus on basic items: first, changing the engine oil every season, which is easy to do myself with simple tools; regularly cleaning the air filter to ensure smooth airflow; checking tire pressure weekly according to the manual's standards; paying attention to brake pads and warning lights for safety; changing the gear oil before any strange noises occur. Also, checking if the lights are working and preventing oxidation on battery terminals. Parking in the shade helps prolong part lifespan. These steps don't take much time but prevent major issues. It's cost-effective and convenient, perfect for beginners like me.
