A nice simple oil change is relaxing!
« on: April 04, 2022, 10:32:12 PM »
Cold, wet riding takes a break....for a little simple servicing of the LIKE200i!
For my small aircooled scooters - use good oil and change it often is my motto.


Drain the puke tube as well while I'm down there.


Give things a wipe and an application of a some ACF-50 with my old house brush....few scooter things are as satisfying as the smell of that stuff cooking off of the muffler on the first ride :)

Shoot - I'll check the tire inflation while I'm down there.....my least fav scooterin' job!
must be spring.....

brought to mind because.....
I hit the National PitStop boys for and oil and filter change on the ol' F-150 Chevy. Those guys are great - thorough job, fluid top-ups, aired the tires, new oil and filter with a nice chat. Out in under 20 mins. They use "pits" not lifts! Swarm you like you're
Richard Patty! Same price as the Chevy dealer - but without the 90 min wait - even tho I have an appointment!

Stig, do you use the spray or liquid ACF-50?
Is either easier than the other?

There can be problems with the aerosol can...especially if left in unheated storage. So 2nd time I bought hand pump spray bottle.
Spray it on, or spray applicator (,I use soft  large and small paint  brushes)....work it in.
