out of hibernation and into spring

Spring has officially started as of yesterday.

If you haven't ridden all winter long, make sure your scoot is in working order before heading out on a ride. Battery? Ignition? Brakes? Lights? Oil? Gas? Check the Idle ? Shock/dampening setting? Screws and nuts tightened? If you timed it right, its probably a good time to get your service done now. I'm overdue for my 4K service.

Last, and definitely important- AIR!

At least for me, air is such a pain to always check since the exhaust pipe blocks the rear tire valve. *Note* leaving the glove on helps. I followed the guidelines and did under 24 psi up front (23.2 ) and 28-29 up front. Last year I put about 32 in the rear tire- BAD. It was a horrible ride. Rule of thumb: increase the psi in the rear as the total weight of passengers increase.
