Bad weather here today----did Valve clearance check today---no problem---guess I will look at them after 25,000 miles----changed engine oil,cleaned oil screen--will look at that at about 30,000 miles, I change engine oil often due to 1 qt capacity and no filter----changed rear end oil, probably not necessary.
Checked everything over=no problems, could not get spark plug out with tool kit furnished socket---will buy 18mm plug socket and look at, at 20,000 miles.
Bike remains tire sensitive, so will probably change to Michelin Pure SC early, balance with Ride On.
Currently small Bestem$40 box on rear, Laminar Lip back on Puig Touring screen, cut down 4 inches---this is probably as good as it is going to get.....not perfect but liveable.
Kymco recommends 10,000 mile belt change....may stretch interval to 15,000 miles---already have new OEM belt.
This scooter, my 11th new maxi scooter since 1990, has been reliable and works well. Price was right, too.

Very happy with my XT too John. I even washed it yesterday!

Using tool kit furnished plug wrench removing spark plug. Nothing else in my collection of plug wrenches seemed to work well.
Today, bought Honda Part #89216-MY-000 about $15----should work, when at 20,000 miles I pull the plug to have a look or replace.
