The "Periodic Maintenance / Lubrication Intervals" schedule is taken directly from a 1985 edition Yamaha XC180 factory service manual and the "Periodic Maintenance Emission Control System" schedule is taken from a 1984 edition owner's manual. Before starting any work, always consult the manual for your scooter's model & year and be sure you know what you're doing.
