Many of these PDI points are open to discussion. I have a 2008 Eagle Milano 150 which is really a Peace (Bashan) Biella. It has all original hoses, original tire valves and is all original except for the battery and cylinder head which I stupidly broke. There is merit in changing to better hoses but I don't think it's necessary. Double checking the nuts and bolts for tightness is always a good idea and changing the oils is a must. From what I hear the newer models are better than even a few years ago. Lest you think I'm a loose cannon in this discussion my Bashan just turned 8,300 miles and runs like new. The most important thing to remember is that you're buying a $1200, 150cc scooter. If you try to use it like a $3500 Honda or $5000 Vespa it won't last. Keeping it at 45 mph will ensure a long life. Changing the oil at 1,000 miles and keeping up on valve adjustments is a definite need. See my signature for how long a Chinese bike lasts and the numbers keep rising.
