Inspection check list

I will be accumulating notes here that I think should be checked on the scoot once in a while. Most of these are nuts that need to be tightened - and that is really a weak spot for Chinese scooters. If you want to save yourself some repairs, check these things once you buy your scoot and than say at the beginning and the end of the riding season.

Nuts and bolts to tighten:
  • Nuts holding the exhaust pipe brackets. These fall off, but not in my case.
  • M6 studs holding your exhaust pipe pressed against the engine. These also fall off.
  • The rear wheal axle nut. Yes, this one can be loose as well.
  • The front fork bolt. I'll post some pictures.
  • Bolts holding the centerstand.
  • Bold holding the switch on the kickstant. You'd have to take the switch off to get to the main nut.
  • Bolts holding the mirrors.
