17,000 km
The issue I am having is that when driving slow under 40km/h it runs like crap. It doesn't like to go slow. I just bought it and have no knowledge of what was done before.

you could have saved 200 bucks by simply installing just Dr Pulley instead of the malossi

The big question, when was the last service on the scoot? Spark Plug, Belt, Oil Change, Air Filter Change, etc should be done. Any vehicle that I buy used, gets a new service, unless it is verifiable with a receipt in the service book. Have you installed the items that you listed?

Fun...
Look at the "BackOff XP Module" for your Tail Lights.
Easy Install too.

You need to learn and do this yourself to save money...
Plenty info here on MV to search, or Youtube.com

I don't know any history on the scooter. I have changed oil, oil filter, hub oil, tires. I plan on getting brake fluid flushed and these items installed. I unfortunately live in an apartment so I have no place to do the work myself.

Steering Notch problem MP3 500
Need to check out the link and get a grease bolt for the front end.
I have a 2009 MP3 500 and it has developed the notch, but keeping the grease in it helps a lot.

Maksor,
You know we had this discussion already on another thread.
The Malossi is the exact same as the OEM.
I have three OEM's from Easyparts.nl, and 3 Malossi from scooterpartsco, and they are all very close in width.

I happen to be home today, and I can take pictures if you want.
