The "Periodic Maintenance / Lubrication Intervals" schedule is taken directly from a 1982 edition Honda PA50 Factory Service Manual, (other models should be similar). This maintenance schedule is based upon average riding conditions. Machines subjected so severe use, or ridden in unusually dusty areas, require more frequent servicing. Before starting any work, always consult the manual for your scooter's model & year and be sure you know what you're doing.
