Okay… I think I’ll just make a monthly trip to my mechanic. It’s a two stroke so the oil just needs topping up every so often and I check tyres/mechanical damage before every trip so at ~2000km/month I guess this is a decent service interval.
[quote=“joesax”][quote=“llary”]PS: how regularly should I be getting my scooter serviced anyway? I have a mechanic I trust and a 10 year old 125cc 2-stroke Suzuki. I live up in the mountains and work the poor girl pretty hard - it’s not unusual for me to do 500+km a week.[/quote]See Plotch’s post in the “scooter maintenance” thread here:

and perhaps mine above that.
I’m not sure how the transmission lubrication works on a 2-stroke motorbike. You have to change transmission oil every few thousand km on a scooter, but you don’t do this on a 4-stroke motorbike.[/quote]
