Don't make stuff up!

A scooter (or ANY machine for that matter) is a delicate and precision device. If it is not working properly, it's user can be endangered! It is IMPERATIVE to double-check and research when you are unsure of how some aspect of scooter works, or you are unclear as to what to repair or how to repair it.

A scooter can be potentially fatal if it is serviced incorrectly, I have seen people burn their scooters to the ground, wheels fall off while being ridden, and engines destroyed because of "guessing".

An internal combustion engine is inherently dangerous in of itself, but adding an electrical system, and the fact that a scooter is a BICYCLE in nature makes it's very motion unstable (you riding a bike creates ALL the stability) makes the scooter itself exponentially more dangerous.

Scooters are not toys! They are motorcycles. Do not "assume" you know how to fix something. Read up and ask questions! Do not make up advice or techniques if you are unsure of how something works. Disinformation is harmful to both the poster and the reader.
