Scooter Maintenance?

After every session i get home and clean my scooter, and sometimes grease things that need to be greased and tighten up things that are loose.
Does anyone else do that? I always take good care of my scooter, except sometimes i get super pissed and will throw it, (I know that's stupid).

The only time I even touch an allen wrench is if my setup is undialed as hell. I should care more about my scooter.

I need to invest in Loctite/ Lock nuts because my scooter becomes loose hella quick
Also, i have a bright white deck, so it shows everything

i fix it when its broke. i find it needs very little maintenance, and i kinda like it to look ridden. but fair doos if you really look after it, shows good character id say :) hehe

I clean my wheel bearings once a month and tighten my bars weekly, I also swap my wheels around monthly too.

Never gets cleaned, things get tightened when they're loose, wheels switched when they visibly need it, edges of deck filed when sharp from grinding, grip switched when its worn out.

Not a lot happens on it often, though.

That is stupid IMO. I haven't taken my scooter completely apart in 8 months, my grip tape is over a year old, all dirty and shit. Don't really care haha

all my bolts NEVER loosen unless i loosen them myself, i usually do a little thing when i come back from the skatepark like align my bars or bend up my flexfender, but thats about it unless im changing parts

I love my battle scars. Also, I'm just too lazy/don't know how/don't have the materials to constantly maintain it.
