I have a 2009 scooter, a 250cc MP3 with about 2,000 km on the odometer.
AFIK, it has never been serviced, and tonight I got to wondering what I need to check on and take care of?
The brakes are flawless, so does the brake fluids need to be flushed....
per the manual, yes, every 2 years.
Anti-freeze:
manual seems to think it is PERMANENT
I have never checked anything on this since I bought it 2 years ago, it always starts, which I discovered tonight is because it is Fuel Injected
The amount of fluids this thing needs is so minuscule, it would be easy to over fill, or under fill.
I need a lift table for it, but alas, I don't have one.
Viewing the above, it would seem that Vespa has been in the forefront of using Synthetic fluids for a long time.
the air filter is a sponge, wash it clean, use 50% petrol and 50% 4T oil ( 5w40 Synthetic )
let it drip 'dry' and put it back in.
Today, my order for WD-White Lithium Spray Grease arrived.
it did wonders for the water faucet out by the highway, one of those Farm style with a vertical shaft plunger to the valve 2 feet below ground.
seems like it will be perfect for brake levers for this scoot and my gl1800.
any thoughts on taking care of this thing?
