Maintenance

  • Regularly check the oil level on your bike, scooter, moped and change the oil at frequent intervals.
  • Check your tyre pressure regularly as it is very important to maintain proper air pressure since a scooter only has two wheels and this can lead more easily to a loss of control of the vehicle. Always check the tyre pressure with the tyres cold, never after riding as the pressure increases when hot.
  • Check that all lights, brake lights and indicators work. Also check that the horn works.
  • Check the brakes individually. Their application must be firm and must be fully applied without the lever or pedal reaching its full travel. They must also free off completely when the lever or pedal is released and allow the wheels to turn freely without drag.
  • If your bike chain looks dry apply a quick squirt of aerosol chain lube.
  • If the chain looks too slack adjust the tension as soon as possible.
