Hi all.
I found these two images in the manual about lubrication points, when it comes to general maintainence.
But as a complete newbie, I would very much like some more information on how to come around it. Could anyone ad to this with photos/videos of how to do it?

Since EVERYONE has ignored you, I will try to answer your question. The diagram you posted from the book shows what you should lube with, say, an oil can or these days a spray lube. Wipe off excess. The wheel bearings are usually sealed or shielded and are lubed at the ball-bearing factory. These bearings are usually replaced.
The next thing is all the engine parts INSIDE THE ENGINE which will be lubed by the engine oil from the crankcase and the pump system present in all Kymco four strokes. Attribute that to the translation to english boners that appear everywhere in the Owner's Manuals.
Ya gotta take some of the Manual entries with a grain of salt because of the language gap and most seem to have logic problems. Get a couple of Motorcycle Maintenance books from the library and soak 'em up. Most of the info in them will make sense and will be useful for scoots.
A 50cc is a good place to start your mechanical repair career since they are usually pretty simple.

Thanks a lot.
And getting some books sounds like a very good idea.

Ive actually wondered about this myself. Especially the speedocable. Heard you should use graphite powder? What the? not even sure how often either.
