Check Exhaust Pipe Guard (Heat Protector) Screws
Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2015 2:07 am
I was just giving my Roughhouse a quick visual check as it approaches the 1900 mile mark and noticed that two of the Heat Protector screws were somewhat loose. You'll just need a Phillips Head Screwdriver to tighten them and no excessive force is needed. That being said I may pull the side and front covers off to do a more thorough examination of the entire scooter over the Christmas Holiday. Fingers crossed for mild weather. . .
I've seen this sort of thing happen on motorcycles before as well. The vibration can make them loosen up.
One other thing I may do is add a tiny bit of brake fluid to the front disc brake well. It's looking like it's gone down a bit so the pads must be getting a bit worn. It usually looks like it's only half full anyways due to the angle it sits on the handle bar. The first time I checked it when the scooter was new I was surprised to see that it was actually full!
From what I can see so far there doesn't seem to be anything else out of the ordinary.
