How Do I Get My Scooter Ready For Spring?

1. Check your tires for tread wear and cracking.
2. Check your front and rear tire pressure. Front 28-32 psi, rear 30-34 psi.
3. Check your front and rear tire bearings for wear or looseness.
4. Check your front and rear wheels for free spin.
5. Check your brakes.
6. Go over your scooter and look for missing screws and bolts.
7. Check your front and rear brake pads for wear.
8. Check all your lights, running, turn, headlights, and brake/stop lights for proper operation.
9. Check your horn.
10. Charge the battery. On scooter batteries you should not use a car battery charger unless it has a 2 amp or lower setting. Otherwise you will cook the battery and it will need to be replaced.
11. Check to see if your fuse holder has a spare fuse. If not, purchase a spare 15 amp fuse and put it with the scooter.
12. Check your spare tool kit to make sure you have the basic tools and that they are in good condition.
13. Check your cables for proper operation.  See that your throttle operates freely and returns to the idle position on its own. Oil if necessary.
14. Check your brake cables for the same operation. Oil if necessary.
15. Check your gas filter and if it looks dirty or clogged replace it.
16. Check your air filter. If dirty, clean or replace it.
17. On Water Cooled Scooters, the antifreeze should be changed every 1 to 3 years depending on the quality of the antifreeze used to replace the original.

1. We will change the oil with genuine fluids.
2. We will change the filter with genuine filters.
3. We will inspect the tires for sun and age cracks.
4. We will test the brakes, lights, and overall operation of the scooter.
5. We will charge the battery with extended time trickle charge
6. We will fill it with gas.
7. We will perform a road test.
8. We will treat paint and seat with teflon protection sealant.
9. We will wash and chamois the scooter.
10. We will DELIVER your scooter to YOUR DOOR! Ready to ride!

Question 3: I heard about the new Maine State Law requiring State Inspections to be visible on my scooter.  Does Stanley Subaru/Stanley Scooters perform state inspections on scooters?

Neil Says: Yes we do perform State Inspections on scooters! If you would like your scooter inspected, please schedule an appointment with our service department, then arrive with your new registration. If your current registration expires this Spring or Summer, you can have it prorated when you register your scooter for the 2012 riding season.  Starting in April, when a motorcycle is registered, the expiration date will be changed to the following March.  Registration fees will be prorated for the correct number of months.

Now your scooter is ready to ride! Please ride safely and enjoy your scooter travels!
