All things on how to fix your scooter! :)

GRIPS

Grips slide or move up and down
Your grips need to dry out as they are slippy, I find that twisting them and shoving a piece of paper towel down them helps, if that fails wait for them to dry.

BARS

Bars wil not fit on to Fork/Hic/scs

Loosen up your clamp a bit. If hic but a bit of lube on your shim, should help.

Slit is too thin o slide over fork

Get a screw driver and prise open the slit by hammering it down.

SCS

Scs will not go over my fork?
Thread in your bolts backwards while placing a penny on where you would normally thread it in his should work for clamps as well

My bars will not fit in my scs?
Is your scs upside down, if not do the penny trick above

Headset

Headset is too stiff?
If the bearings are new, they will wear in. If not, do you have the right crown race on? Are your bearings upside down?

Headset clicks and creaks?
If you have a blenvy headset this is normal. After long use this may happen as well.

Integrated headset will no fit into deck?
Your cups may be ovalized, if this is the case you will need a new deck :(

FORK

My starnut pulled out?
Your gonna need a new fork, if you put a new star nut in it's just going to rip out again and again

Fork not flush with deck?
Your crownrace may need to be hammered down a little more, if not don't be such a fag about it.

Deck

Cannot get bearings out of headset cups?

Get a screwdriver and prise it out, should work

Wheels

Wheel is slow and making a weird noise

If It's not your bearings, the wheel is probably just about to dehub

Bearings are clicking

1. Your bearings are probably old and you need new ones. 2. Your wheel is ovalized (death click) same thing. Hammer the bearing slot, might work.

Brake

Brake is making a weird noise when I land?

Your brake needs little rubber dampener on the inside, happens with a lot of blunts.


Ok so comment below what I should add, hope it helped :)
