Moped Maintenance in Hawaii. TIPS

Good morning Moped riders of Oahu and the rest of Hawaii. Here at Pacific Mopeds we do a lot of service and repairs on both our mopeds and mopeds from the other stores around Honolulu. Through our years of experience we have come up with a list of quick tips which should help you extend the life of your moped.
1. Regular Service: I know its a pain in the butt and when money is tight we would rather use it on something else, but regular maintenance is what keeps your moped running.
2. Buy the good stuff: if you have a 2stroke moped purchasing the more expensive 2stroke oil is highly recommended. There is a reason the walmart special is only a couple of $$. Also although the oils are all similar they are not the same, so stick to your guns and don't change oil manufacturers every bottle, your moped will perform better.
3. Listen & feel your moped: if you have missed your last service and the moped starts to make a new noise or starts to drive differently do not wait for 1000 miles. visit your regular service center and let them know your concerns.
4 Good Gas: If possible always use Ethanol Free gasoline. On Oahu there are about 5 or 6 gas stations that offer Ethanol free fuel. Ethanol is the enemy when it comes to small engines. If you cant get the Ethanol Free gas remember to periodically start your moped and let it idle for 3-5 minutes. Letting your moped sit for 10+ days could cause the ethanol to destabilize leading to your moped hard starting or not starting at all.  

For most people a moped is a means of transport here in Hawaii and although it may hurt to spend the cash on maintenance, it is a lot cheaper than having to purchase a new moped or having to ride the bus because you neglected the maintenance schedule.

Why to Buy a name brand.

So many moped "dealers" in Hawaii have house brands, these include BRAVO, GTX Turbocam, Mangusta, Islander, PRONTO.
Now we are not saying these Moped Brands are bad quality however be cautious. With no Idea who the real manufacturer is it is very hard to get parts in Hawaii or at all. This means that you have to deal with the dealer you bought the moped from, also if they go out of business there is no way to get parts for these mopeds.
Do some research, try to find a company website for BRAVO or GTX Turbocam and you will find that there is no such company.

Aloha Mopeders

So I heard from a little birdy that the State is looking to have us safety check and license our mopeds each year. With the State of Hawaii hungry for some money they see us as an easy target. Well get out there and tell them enough is enough. We ride mopeds to save money, not pay more money.
