Motovox MVS10, Owner'S Manual

A dirty, clogged air filter will inhibit the performance of your MVs10 scooter 

so it is important and quite easy to check and clean it periodically. Motovox 

recommends that the air filter gets checked every month and cleaned at 

least every three months. More frequent cleaning may be required if you 

tend to ride in extremely dusty or dirty conditions.

To check and clean the filter it must 

be removed from the engine. To do 

so, locate the air filter housing which 

is the square black plastic unit on the 

front of the engine, just ahead of the 

pulls starter unit and in front of the 

choke lever.

Remove the center screw that holds 

the air filter cover in place and pull

the cover from the engine. Pull out 

the foam filter element with your 

fingers and inspect for dirt and debris. 

You can clean the foam element with 

forced air, being careful not to tear it. 

Or you can wash it with soap and 

water. Be sure to dry it thoroughly 

before replacing it by squeezing all 

the water out and letting it air dry 

completely.

Once the air filter is completely dry, 

you can reinstall it into the housing 

and tighten the center screw that 

holds the housing in place.

A corroded spark plug can cause your engine to run rough, or in the case of a 

fowled plug, can cause your engine to not run at all. To check the spark plug 

it must be removed from the engine. The following steps will demonstrate 

this procedure.
Locate the spark plug boot on the
top of the engine toward the front
on the left side. Carefully remove the
spark plug boot by pulling and twisting
the boot housing. Do not pull on the 
spark plug wire.
Once you have the top of the plug

exposed, use a 19mm deep socket to 

unscrew the spark plug out of the 

engine by turning counter-clockwise.
Inspect the plug and check to make 

sure the gap is set to .030. Using the 

chart below, determine if the spark 

plug should be replaced.

To re-insert the spark plug or to install 

a new one, simply screw the plug back 

into the hole turning clockwise. Tighten 

with the socket firmly. 

Be very careful not to 

over-tighten and strip the threads.
