The "Periodic Maintenance / Lubrication Intervals" schedule is taken
directly from a 1968 edition Honda PC50/PS50 Factory Service Manual, which covers the '68 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.
