Re: Changing oil and maintenance of a Cambodian scooter
I wouldn't touch the brake fluid unless you're sure it's leaking. Just check the pads. Oil every 2000km and you're good to go. I've got 12 000km on mine, bought it new. All I've done is oil changes, front pads once, then recently changed both tires, rear drum brake pads and chain/sprocket set. I change oil more regularly than 2000km,but do a lot of 80kmh highway rides, which stresses it out a bit. Manual says to change every 4000km or so, and manuals always err on the side of caution, so don't worry. 2000km is fine.

Re: Changing oil and maintenance of a Cambodian scooter
Is it usual to change oil every 3 months ?! Seems way too often ?
ONLY MONKEYS THINK THAT I AM NOT LIVING IN CAMBODIA BECAUSE I USE VPNs and PROXIES.
Sorry but I do not reply to idiots, especially the old ones.

Don't go by months, go by KM. The oil degrades when being used, not just by sitting there. Some people do 70km/month, while some do 2500. Check your usage and change accordingly.

Re: Changing oil and maintenance of a Cambodian scooter
What is it with the brake fluid over here. I can see that temperature will take effect. My brakes have locked solid on one occasion. Also, a friend of mine had a high speed accident in Thailand on his 1000cc moto when his front brake locked up.Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote: ↑Sat Mar 03, 2018 6:51 am I wouldn't touch the brake fluid unless you're sure it's leaking.

Re: Changing oil and maintenance of a Cambodian scooter
I forgot. You need to change gear oil. They recommend I think every 5K to 20K. But you dont know when was previous changed so you should change it. It will damage you transmission and you might end up paying 200-300 dollar for parts if the transmission/gear oil is gone. It should be around 2.5USD-5USD to change it. Not sure the exact price. Some scooters use the engine oil. So check first.superferret wrote: ↑Fri Mar 02, 2018 12:21 am I'm new to scooters and recently purchased a Yamaha Taurus 114 cc underbone, no idea what year but it was registered in 2012
The speedometer is not working, so possible the odometer is also not working.
Anyone know how often I'm supposed to change the oil on these things and is there anything else I need to do for routine maintenance?
It's a manual bike. Also it says on the registration card Type: Srey (i.e. woman) what does that mean?
I heard the oil change is 5 dollars, is that correct?
Thanks

The semi-auto he is buying does not have separate gear oil to engine oil. That's just in two strokes, which are less common.

Only a little drop on the wheels from time to time

Oil capacity is 0.8 Litre, but if you change the oil filter you put in 1 Litre of oil.
