Can someone please show me a tutorial on maintaining a scooter setup and how to take care of it and like what you need to do if you run a certain compression or something. Cheers.

the trick is to loctite everything, not just your bolts, im talking headset, bearings and grind rails

you dont really need anything but tools
allen keys, wrenches etc. just tighten the bolts and stuff on your scooter and lubricate them every now and then

You put it on threads on bolts and it is kind of like a glue to keep bolts tightened.

Like most people said, check your bolts before you ride, especially your compression. If you feel your compression is loose while riding, tighten it. Loose compression is bad for your forks because it adds leverage.

As far as lubing everything, every three months or so just put some grease in your headset. Change the bearings in your wheels if you feel they need to be lubed. Bearings can last six months to a year though before you really need it.
