How to Keep Your Scooter DialedUpdated 20 hours ago

A “dialed” scooter is one that’s tight, smooth, and totally silent. No rattles. No wobbles. Just perfect performance 🔇🛴

Stunt scooters go through a lot — tricks, impacts, weather, and daily use can all loosen parts over time. Regular maintenance keeps your scooter safe and running like new.

✅ What Does “Dialed” Mean?

In scooter slang, a dialed setup means:

• No rattles when dropped or bounced

• Bar, clamp, and headset are tight

• Wheels spin freely with no noise

• Compression system is stable

• Everything is aligned and responsive

💡 Pro riders dial their scooter every few days — or even before every session.

🧰 Tools You’ll Need

• 5 mm and 6 mm Allen keys (usually included with your scooter)

• Optional: Torque wrench, rubber mallet, and Loctite (for high-impact riders)

🛠️ Regular Dialing Checklist (Do This Every 1–2 Weeks)

1. Tighten the clamp

   • Make sure bars don’t twist or move under pressure

   • Use an X-pattern to tighten both bolts evenly

2. Check the compression system

   • If you hear creaking or feel wobble, compression may need to be re-tightened

   • Refer to the compression install guide if unsure

3. Test wheel tightness

   • Spin each wheel — they should spin freely without wobble

   • If they don’t, loosen and re-tighten the axle bolts with spacers correctly aligned

4. Check headset play

   • Hold the front brake and rock the scooter — if you hear clicking, the headset is loose

   • Tighten compression until it stops

5. Inspect your deck and fork

   • Look for cracks, chips, or unusual flex

   • Replace parts if they show signs of damage

6. Check grips and grip tape

   • Worn grips reduce control — replace if slippery

   • Reapply grip tape if it’s peeling or smooth

7. Keep everything clean

   • Wipe down dirt and dust

   • Avoid leaving your scooter wet or in the rain

🧠 Pro Tips

• Use Loctite on bolts if they frequently come loose

• Don’t overtighten — it can strip threads or damage parts

• If your scooter “rattles” when dropped from a short height, it’s not dialed

🛠️ Is My Scooter Still Safe to Ride?

If you feel any of the following, stop and inspect:

• Wobbly bars or clamp

• Loose front wheel

• Deck cracking or bending

• Brake failure or looseness
