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.

Hawaii Moped News and Tips

Ok Hawaii Moped Riders or those looking to buy a Moped. Here are some thoughts on buying a New Moped as well as Maintaining a New Moped
Buying a Moped:
1. The Shop is trying t Sell you a moped so they will talk down the competition
2. Some shops suggest that they install extra parts unique to their mopeds. (This means that they can only fix them)
3.Buy a Moped not based on looks but what feels comfortable, Always be able to put your feet on the ground with ease.
4.Never ever be pushed into buying a moped because of the super one time deal that is only going on today. BS

Now you have bought your new moped and are cruising the streets of Honolulu, Kihei or Kona
Maintenance:
1. The moped has an engine it is not a bicycle if you don't do the required service the moped no matter which model will break down
2. Dont worry if you have little issues with your moped when you first get it, for the first 300 miles or so the moped is breaking in,
3. If you have a 2stroke moped which requires regular oil fill ups, do not wait until the light comes on be proactive and top it off with oil when you gas up. Use the good oil its worth it.
4. go over your moped once a month with screw driver and wrench and tighten all loose bolts and screws. In Hawaii the roads are rough and your moped will tend to loosen bolts and screws. Better to be safe then drop your muffler on the street.
