Tips for Caring and Maintaining Your Scooter

Currently, scooters have become a very familiar mode of transportation for the people of Vietnam. This is because not only do they have high durability, but this type of vehicle also conveys a sense of class and luxury to the owner. However, many people still do not know how to maintain and choose the best oil for scooters, which significantly reduces the vehicle's lifespan.

Here are some things you need to pay attention to when caring for and maintaining your scooter to help it operate smoothly, last over time, and save fuel.

Regular maintenance of your scooter is necessary to ensure it operates well and smoothly.

1. Caring for the transmission system

When it comes to vehicle maintenance, people often think of caring for the transmission system and the clutch. For scooters, these two components are extremely important, helping the vehicle to move more smoothly and reduce vibrations.

If the transmission system is not maintained for a long time, it will not operate well, leading to a ride that is no longer as smooth as initially designed. However, this is an issue that requires expertise to recognize. Therefore, you should not attempt to repair it yourself but should consult technical experts for specific advice.

Taking care of the transmission system helps the scooter operate more smoothly and seamlessly.

Additionally, you need to ensure regular maintenance according to specific intervals: clean the transmission system after about 20,000 km and check the clutch. After another 20,000 km, proceed to replace the clutch and drive belt.

2. Changing the gearbox oil

Regularly change the gearbox oil for scooters every 6,000 – 8,000 km.

To keep your beloved vehicle operating smoothly and reliably, in addition to understanding which oil is the best for scooters, you also need to pay attention to changing the gearbox oil appropriately. Gearbox oil, also known as transmission oil, plays a vital role in ensuring that the gears operate smoothly. Regularly changing the gearbox oil will help your scooter avoid issues such as dry or broken gears, abnormal engine noise, while also ensuring smoother operation and significantly extending its lifespan.

Ideally, you should check and make sure to change the gearbox oil at regular intervals of every 6,000 – 8,000 km. Generally, for scooters, every three times you change the engine oil, you should change the gearbox oil once.
