Fuel Type:
Unleaded gasoline (minimum 91 octane recommended)
Oil Type:
SAE 10W-40 or 20W-50, API SG or higher (confirm with manual)
Oil Capacity:
Approx. 0.8 - 1.0 Liters (check dipstick/level indicator)
Length:

Engine Oil Change:
Every 3,000-4,000 km or annually, whichever comes first (typical for this type of scooter).
Air Filter Cleaning:
Every 2,000-3,000 km, replace as needed.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Every 5,000-8,000 km, or as indicated by wear.
Cvt Belt Inspection:
Every 5,000-7,000 km. Replacement interval varies significantly based on riding style, typically 10,000-20,000 km.
Brake Fluid Change:
Every 2 years or as per manual recommendation.
Engine Oil Grade:
SAE 10W-40 or 20W-50, API SG or higher
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 4 (most common, confirm with manual)
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based coolant (if liquid-cooled, which Quasar 100 is not typically, but some variants might be. This manual seems to be for the air-cooled version). If liquid cooled, use a 50/50 mix with distilled water.
Common Wear Items:
CVT drive belt, brake pads, tires, suspension bushings due to urban riding conditions.
Potential Electrical Issues:
Wiring harness degradation over time, regulator/rectifier failures (common on many scooters).
Carburetor Cleaning:
May require periodic cleaning and adjustment, especially if the scooter sits for extended periods.
