Oil change. Does this officially make me a scooterist?
That was so simple I can't believe people pay so much to do it.
I've put 400 miles on my used 2009 SYM Fiddle II (2300 total milege) over the past 4 weeks and between the dose of Seafoam and this oil change, it's a completely different beast. Oh so smooth and quiet now. The scoot had sat for 2 or 3yrs before I got it and they took it to the shop before selling it to get it up and running. I spoke with the shop and today found the shiny new air filter in it, so I know that story was not fiction. All metal in the filter was stuck to the magnet, so no aluminum running thru the system. Shop had put too much oil in it, so it was dripping out of the air filter box (none in the actual filter), so that final issue has been solved. Extremely happy with my $900 first scooter.

Aluminum doesn't stick to magnets . Glad to hear you are enjoying your new ride and successfully learning how to do your own servicing.pcsguy88 wrote:All metal in the filter was stuck to the magnet, so no aluminum running thru the system.
