If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have none at all.

Just hit 800 miles, did the motor/gear oil change a week ago, rode the freeway for the first time a few days later, took it up to fast speed, now, a few days later, the red temp light is starting to come on.  I checked the coolant in the reserve, it was low, so I topped it off.

The bike definitely sounds different, something is wrong with it.  It's running rough now, serious loss of power, and overheats within a few minutes from a cold start.

I can't take it back to where I bought it, because those jerks wanted to charge me $525 just for the initial maintenance, which covers oil changes and adjusting the valves.  I ended up changing the oils myself.

I'm not much of a mechanic, so will have to find a different service center.  This is really frustrating, it's a new bike, I shouldn't be having this problem.

Oh well, rant off...

Hi all, my first post here.

I bought the 2009 People S 250 last month, just hit 600 miles on it.  They told me to take it easy the first 600 miles, then bring it in for an initial maintenance.

I called the dealer today, the manager looked up my scooter's maintenance schedule, and informed me several things.  First, he told me I missed the initial 200? mile service, which I was never told about.

He said they need to adjust the valves, change the oil, and I assume they will do other things.  They told me it will cost me $525, which seems like a LOT to me.  I'm in Southern California, the dealer is in Venice, which is a pricy neighborhood.  I'm thinking about calling other dealers in less expensive neighborhoods, but wanted to check here first.

So, how much did you pay for you initial (200? mile) and the second (600 mile) maintenance?

Thanks, I appreciate any feedback.

btw I love my scooter!!!!
