I have a VMC 177 kit on my px with autolube and opinions seem to vary as to whether its a good idea/neccessary to add 1% oil to the fuel as well.
My thoughts are, as the oil is to lube the bottom end and the bottom end hasn't changed why is extra oil necessary? or am I missing something here?

Thank you for that, for the record I added 1% for the 1st 100 miles but now its only autolube, Scoot is running great.
