Recently my scooter started giving off a strange vibration and I couldn't figure out why. Finally I checked the drive belt even though the scoot only had 2350 miles on it. Sure enough the belt was worn and was slipping and jumping around on the CVT drive. If I had ignored the change in the way the scooter was running it could have meant expensive damage later so I'm glad I listened. Know your scooter, hear your scooter, listen to what it's telling you.

This is great advice! Most of us have owned cars, and you surely know that listening to your car sounds is a good way to stay on top of any problems. So why should it be any different with scooters? The answer is... it shouldn't!
