Just wanted to add that this is some really bad advice, followed by some expensive advice here.
1.
NEVER replace a fuse with a higher rated fuse. EVER. The fuse is sized to protect whatever is downstream of it, be it wires or connectors or lamp sockets. BUT, By installing a higher rated fuse, you are no longer preventing something downstream from catching fire in an overload situation. Do you like having
unintended bike fires? I don't. This advise is similar to the old trick people used to use in houses with screw-in fuses where they'd put a penny behind the fuse to bypass the fuse, then subsequently inadvertently burn their house down.
2. Premium (93) octane fuel is only required when the engine might otherwise experience detonation. ALL of the Chinese scooters are using clones of Japanese engines from the 1980's which were not high compression engines OR prone to detonation. "Use what the manufacturer recommends in the owner's manual." If the manual doesn't make any callouts for premium fuel, then you're just burning money by using it, with ZERO benefit to you or your bike.
