How to Maintain Your Scooter
Maintaining a scooter is crucial if you want to keep it running smoothly and safely. Regular maintenance ensures that your vehicle is in top condition and minimizes the risk of unexpected breakdowns. Our team at Brookfield Indian Motorcycle® is here to make sure you stay safe on the road! Here are some tips to help you maintain your scooter.
1. Check the Oil Level Regularly
The oil level is one of the most critical aspects of your scooter's maintenance. Make sure to check the oil level every week and top up if necessary. Your scooter's manual will have instructions on how to do this. Make sure you complete regular oil changes on time, too.
2. Keep the Tires Inflated
Proper tire pressure is crucial for your scooter's performance and safety. Make sure to check the tire pressure regularly, ideally every two weeks, and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure. Overinflated or underinflated tires can affect your scooter's handling and fuel efficiency.
3. Keep the Air Filter Clean
A clean air filter is crucial for your scooter's performance and fuel efficiency. Check the air filter every month and clean or replace it as needed. This can also be a great time to do a quick inspection!
4. Check the Brakes Often
Properly functioning brakes are essential for your safety. Check the brakes before every ride and replace worn brake pads or shoes. You can contact our service team if you need assistance!
5. Keep the Battery Charged
A dead battery can leave you stranded, so make sure to keep the battery charged. If you're not using your scooter regularly, consider using a trickle charger to keep the battery at the correct levels.
By following these tips, you can keep your scooter in top condition and minimize the risk of unexpected breakdowns. Regular maintenance is essential for your safety and ensures that your scooter lasts for many years!
