Thanks for the cool video Nireen...
One tip...
Sometimes brake pads can be very hard to see.
I stick digital camera in there....with a flash....take a snap...load it on PC and then blow up the picture to see what you have. I use camera to look in lots of scooter places...then go to computer.
Good job on your scooter. ...you speak pretty good English for a foreigner!
Thanks again for posting, young lady.

Nice video....and thats a good tip regarding taking photos prior to starting a job - and not just on the bike either. I replaced my shower isolator switch and my hot water tank thermostat recently. It was nice to refer back to the pics I had taken just to reassure myself.

Good video. Good information for many other scooter owners, not just the Downtown. That guy is a real mechanic. I could tell by the oily fingernails and the split cut on his thumb. (Looks like mine sometimes) He is also very knowledgeable. Thanks for sharing.

My god. Is that an used machine? The engine looks like brand new. My one is full of dirt, rests of oil, mud etc:( Do you guys clean your engines with something?

I have had my scooter for about 5 months now.  I have 8700 km's on it and I only wiped inside of it the other day but it didn't really need much at all.  Had some dust in there.  I find it stays really clean! I do wash my bike regularly.  I have not rode it in the mud, rain etc to much.  Mostly dry roads.

Peter I also have seen no oil inside like you are saying.  Maybe you have a small leaking??? I have no idea.
