Tips
Tricks and General Info
We've created this page to help all Chinese
Scooter owner's get the most enjoyment out of their vehicle. The GY6 engine
found in almost all Chinese scooters has proven itself to be
very reliable when properly maintained. If you have any tips
to add please email.
Here are few tips you really need to keep your
Scooter running smoothly:
1. Always use High Quality/High Octane
fuel in your scooter. We run 93 octane exclusively. We have
also found that adding a little stabilizer to each tank
helps prevent the carb jets from clogging.
2. Never let your fuel level get extremely
low. The fuel economy found in these engines is a large part a
result of the small jets used in the carburetors. Because of
this the smallest impurities can potentially clog them up. Not
allowing your fuel level to get to low will prevent any debris
that may accumulate in the bottom of your fuel tank from
reaching your carburetor.
3.Maintain proper tire pressure. The correct
tire pressure for your scooter is usually 28psi in the front
and 32psi in the rear. Unlike your car or truck tires that can
lose 10-15lbs of pressure before you notice any handling
difference, motorcycle tires will affect handling with as
little as 2-3lbs of pressure change. Under inflated tires will
result in a radically shorten tire life and difficulty in
turning. Over inflated tires will result in a loss of vehicle
control especially in turns. Check your tire pressure EVERY
time you ride. Experienced motorcyclists know that
keeping your pressure little to the high side will extend the
life of your tires considerably.
4. Let it warm up! Like all motor vehicles;
your scooter should be allowed to warm up properly before
riding but not allowed to sit and idle for long periods of
time.
