Steps

  1. Know what you need to know.
    • These scooters did not come with the best oil.
    • The Spark Plug costs 99 cents and is low quality.
    • The air intake system is too much for a 1 spark plug engine.
    • The brakes need to be adjusted within 60 days as we break-in our scooter.
  2. Replace the engine oil within 300-500 miles
  3. Replace the Spark Plug before you drive it home in the first place with an NGK Spark Plug
  4. Take off the whole air-intake system and replace it with a UNI racing Air Filter.
  5. Adjust the brakes at 30 days and 60 days.

Tips
