It staggers me that new bikes and scooters are put together without any sign of grease or copper slip and dealers blame poor PDI's.
The last 4 bikes I have brought since 2010 were all the same, bolts corroded in after a few weeks, wheel spindles, brake calipers, frame fixings etc.
If you're going to keep the scoot for longer than a few months, I think you need to consider preventative maintenance at a very early stage.
Rant over, Honda please buy some grease for your production lines.
