Kawzak - thank you so much for all the help. Its nice to know there are some friendly support groups out here!
I have a few more questions, if you don't mind me asking!
1. I noticed you said to get some coolant for aluminum engines -- I have some 50/50 coolant that I bought a while ago, but am wondering if this will work in the motorcycle as well? How do I know if its OK for aluminum engines? Its this stuff:

When I turn on my bike, the front headlight and taillight are always on. I don't have a way of turning them off. In the manual, there is a diagram with a switch for turning the lights on or off, but mine doesn't have that. I can switch from normal to brights, but thats it. Also, the "flanking" lights won't turn on. I don't know how to get them to come on. Is this normal? I don't think they are turn signal lights, because as you can see, those are higher up
I read in my owner's manual that the scooter requires SAE 90 gear oil, but the closest I could find was 75 W 90. I read on another website that this was oK, but was wondering your opinion
And lastly, I checked my brake fluid, and it looks OK, but I was under the impression that it absorbs water over time, and should be changed. I can't find any information on flushing the brake fluid lines, so I was wondering if you happened to know hwo to do this?
Should I purchase the service manual for the specific bike I have, or is it OK to use the People S 250 one since its so similar. Thanks!!
