The front brake caliper bolts were just a little more than finger tight. Scary.
When we initially torqued the front axle, it seemed to take too much torque at which point Duncan asked whether there was any grease on the threads. There was. We applied brake cleaner to the axle threads and nut and re-torqued it.
The new tires represent a dramatic improvement. The scooter tracks better and feels more stable.
