The only thing I don't do is mount and balance tires. I do remove them from the bike and reinstall but not the actual mounting...

Me 3. (50cc was #2 )

My first 2 scooters (scooters like most of us have/50cc/Gy6) where junk right off the start and always needed 'ANOTHER' problem to justify the $400 price tag.
Now the little 2009 Jonway i have now has been as close to a Honda/Yamaha scooter as i'v seen outside this and most scooter forms.
I do a good PDI twice a year and replace all maintenance items and keep it under a cover all year around.
So far, so good with only a CDI/lights/Battery that had to be replaced and some parts that where replaced by choice.
Yep i got a good deal, got a bit lucky, but now i did pay almost right at $1000 for it back 3 years ago.

Oh ya, the horn works only now and then due to lack of use and when it warms up i'll spray that switch with contact spray.

And Yes, i'm still keeping my eye on that 2012-13 Zuma.

Too bad my eye and my pocket book don't see to well together, or my ass would be riding a Zuma this spring..(Pun intended).. Oh, well.

Same thing here. But I did have a shop press on some gears once upon a time with a hydraulic press since that is the sort of thing the average guy just doesn't have handy. And a long time ago I had some electrical work done... Otherwise it has been DIY for me.
