Changed the oil and serviced the K&N air filter yesterday. Scoot now stands 7,608 miles, and all is well. Planned on doing a couple of other things at this mileage, like replace the original spark plug, and the drive belt that now has 6630 miles on it, and a valve clearance check. I decided to postpone doing those items, based on the fact that the scooter is running better than ever.

Fuel mileage for the 19 fill ups this year has averaged 89.13 mpg.....compared to last years' 84.9 mpg average for 30 fill ups. And even better, the last 10 tanks have averaged 90.44.

So I'm not going to try to fix something that isn't broken. Old belt, old spark plug, and valves that haven't been adjusted in 5,100 miles, all seem to be very happy, and doing their jobs just fine....in fact better than ever.

As previously noted I adjusted the valves on the 250cc and I changed the spark plug figuring that over 11,900 miles was long enough. I needn't have bothered it looked fine but I had the new one......This past Wednesday the 250 passed 12,000 miles on the trip to Bike Night and is running like new.
