What are the maintenance items for a scooter motorcycle?
1 Answers
Scooter motorcycles, as daily commuting vehicles, have relatively simple maintenance requirements, typically involving engine oil, gear oil, and air filter maintenance. Engine oil usually has a maintenance cycle of 2,000-3,000 kilometers. If fully synthetic or semi-synthetic oil is used, it can be maintained every 3,000 kilometers; if cheaper mineral oil is used, maintenance should be performed every 2,000 kilometers at most. Check if the oil is too dirty—if it appears too black, lacks noticeable lubrication when rubbed between fingers, or has a gritty texture, it should be replaced immediately. High-quality oil can reduce engine wear. If the transmission system produces excessive noise, inspect the gear oil for sludge or emulsification due to water ingress. To ensure proper lubrication of the transmission system and improve fuel efficiency, gear oil should be replaced every 5,000 kilometers. The scooter's air filter should ideally be replaced every 5,000 kilometers. If replacement is not feasible, it should be removed and cleaned with a high-pressure air gun to remove dust buildup, ensuring smooth airflow. It must be replaced after 10,000 kilometers. A clean air filter can reduce fuel consumption and enhance acceleration performance. The fuel filter should be cleaned every 10,000 kilometers and replaced selectively based on whether it can still be cleaned, ensuring smooth fuel flow.
