The "Periodic Maintenance
/ Lubrication Intervals" schedule is taken directly from a 1983 edition Honda
NB50M Aero 50 Factory Service Manual, which covers the '83 - '84 models (other
models should be similar). Before starting any work, always consult
the manual for your scooter's model & year and be sure you know what you're doing.
