I wish removing the floorboard was that simple. I'll start out with the pics I took and then try to remember the procedure.
Sorry for updating an old post. My daughter has graduated and the scooter is back home. I am thinking about buying it from her but need a couple of parts, touch up paint etc. I found the site referenced in the link below that seems to be a good resource for diagrams and lists. Hope it helps.

@David L,Thanks, Ruffus. I'll take a look.
maybe that helps ..
My experience----most shops just change oils, don't bother with valves if no noise and maybe over fill engine oil.....and charge way too much.
Call the dealer and ask what the cost of first maintenance on the bike. Materials will be pretty cheap. Labor may run about $75 - $100 per hour. But your dealer may have a fixed, all inclusive cost for that particular service.
So, call the dealer.

David, I think you'll find most of us on the forum perform all of our own maintenance. The first service on your scoot is pretty easy to do yourself. If you pay a shop to do it....a few hundred dollars?
An engine oil and gear oil change is simple and inexpensive and a valve check is free (if done yourself). You'll buy 1 quart of engine oil and 1 quart of gear oil plus a new crush washer for your gear oil drain bolt. Well, you'll need a drain pan, some type of syringe to inject the gear oil, some tools........
lots of 'how to' videos on youtube if you're feeling adventurous. (Maybe not your exact scoot but most of these are very similar).
In 2013 my dealer asked $370 for the first service on my LIKE200i.
Most of that was labor.
The feeling I got standing there at the service desk was that darn few owners (if any) brought their LIKE's back for any kind of service unless they couldn't get it to start.
My point being that the mechanics had no clear idea how long that service would take....and it wasn't all their fault!
I did pay them to swap my Kendas for a set of City Grips a couple of weeks later.
They did a very good job of it.
Hopefully your dealer is experienced in servicing your LIKE150 - and will give you a firm price and most likely will do a proper job of it for youMost dealers do.
Do let us know what you find out.

First: go back to dealer and ask for owner's manual. Second Maint. manual can be ordered from dealer's part dept.
You are looking for an "owner's manual ", which will have that info. Yeah, should have been one under the seat.
Perhaps a fellow LIKE150 owner will post this page, and the break in instructions? , for you from their owner's manual?
