Boy I felt dumb when the moto dealer said I didnt need brake pads! Doh! But they saved me $100

I picked up some Seafoam tho!!

Xciting 250 / stock brake pads vs aftermarket (EBC brand specifically)

Hello all - I checked with a local bike shop and they told me the aftermarket EBC brand brake pads would be much better than anything stock that I could order from the internet...just wanted to get your opinions on that. I always have trouble trusting mechanics :)

Vivo: So should I add 1 oz of Seafoam to the super unleaded gas everytime I fill up?

Hey everyone. Im new to the scooter world. Just bought a '06 xciting 250 with 2800 miles on it. The previous owner kinda seems to have been hard on the bike. What things should I replace and or service at this point in the bikes life?

Im pretty sure I need brake pads and new brake levers (been dropped on both sides and bent both) It also needs a new mirror and the service oil light just came back on after I changed it yesterday. The mufler sounds a little "tinny" when excelerating from a stop. Smooths out after that though.

Thanks a million guys. The previous owner of my scooter seemed to neglect it a little. I changed the oil the day after I got it. It was super black and dirty. So I put in the new oil and now today the "service oil" light came back on.

Question: should I order a new oil strainer and put in another quart of oil? Anything else I can do?
