Scooters are a fun way to get around and are very popular in places with hot climates. The scooter's popularity is partly due to its being a cheap and fuel-efficient transportation alternative. Just like their motorcycle brethren, scooters require a solid maintenance program to keep them sailing for years to come. Here's a scooter maintenance checklist to routinely take care of your little friend's health.

Once a Month/Every 200 KM

Check the oil

Check the tyres using a tyre pressure gauge

Check headlights, running lights, turn signals

Check battery health with a battery tester

Change the oil

Check tire tread for wear

Check valve stems for cracks

Check brakes and throttle cables and use cable lube if necessary

Check screws and nuts to make sure they're tight

Change transmission oil

Check valve clearance

Clean or replace air cleaner

Clean or replace spark plugs

Check brake linings

Clean and lubricate brake and throttle cables

Check the CVT drive belt for cracks and signs of wear

Check wheel bearings

Some tasks like checking tyre pressure and making sure the lights are working are things even a scooter novice can do. However, more advanced tasks like checking valves or brake pads are best left to a qualified mechanic, especially if you don't know what you're doing.

A basic repair kit is a great thing to have on your scooter for emergencies on the road. When you're not on the road, with the right tools at home, you can handle many of the routine maintenance tasks your machine depends on.

Most scooters are fairly simple in design and easy to repair, but here are some essential scooter repair tools to have on hand.
