I would like to know what is the maintenance on a Buddy for the US scooters? Where can I find the info on it.

Actually here's a better link for all the proper maintenance intervals:

But basically, you should have your first dealer service at around 600 miles. Dealers differ on their recommendations as when to do this, but 500-600 is the most common.

Oil and filter changes every 2000 miles afterwards.

A more involved "big maintenance" at every 4000 miles will include checking the valves, transmission parts, brakes, etc.

Way back in '06 Genuine recommended every 1,000-1,500 when using dino oil, 1,500-2K for synthetic. Most mechanics I talk to have recommended 2K or more for synthetic.

Every 1000 is fine if you want to do it but I don't know that there are many benefits beyond peace of mind. For many people who don't do their own maintenance, the costs will add up pretty damn quick.
