I changed the oil and filter along with my aor filter. Pleased with the result i took my GG300i on a 140 mile round trip. The morning after my return a drip of black oil was underneath the scooter. I checked the oil filter and drain plugs -all tight. The next day 2 drops of oil. So i clean the underside of the engine. The next day no drops. It looks like the leak is from the top of the engine. So, today i take off the seat to look. Its very dirty under the throttle body. As i'm cleaning, i keep finding very grimey chunks of something that looks broken. I take off the air filter and find more hard chunks under the starter motor. I can't find anything broken though. When i was the chunks to identify them. I think they are chunks of the roadway kicked up by the tites but not caught by the skirt. Its amazing how many i find. I still can't find the source4 of the minor oil leak.

Maybe put a coin by these bits. For reference purposes.

Great Idea.. most of the fragments fell inot the bellypan as i was extracting them. This is what i could catch. I'm guessing i must have ridden thru a construction zone at some point..

Looks to me like tar-soaked gravel.

Looks like rocks kicked up by your rear wheel. Nothing to worry about. Degrease and check later for leaks.

But.....what if they're as big as 'taters?!!

Well, the heat from the Engine coupled with the oil from the leak, added to the slicing properties of the placement of the starter motor and bolt, could - in certain conditions - provide the perfect storm of results to warrant carrying Salt and Vinegar.

I hope so.. i have two of Kymco's finest and i know my enthusiasm far outweighs my talent.
So, back to the job at hand.. all debris cleared engine degreased - over the weekend i'll take it for a 15 mile ride to my tavern of choice and report back my findings...
