I just received the maintenance manual from BMS, for the 2008 model of the TBX 260. This is the non EFI (so it's with the carburator).
They told me they did not have the maintenance manual for the newer bike out yet.
Just in case you wonder what screws go where, how much torque per screw or how to do this or that on your bike, see this doc:
I'm sharing it with you guys!
docs.google.com/open?id=0B6enKggIMfUSM0hHdXp1ODhmQU0
The 2011/2012 model with EFI should be nearly all the same, except for the valve adjustments, and the carb (doesn't have any).
The rest should be pretty much the same!
Mind you, on page 83, to do the valve clearance is not as easy,
In order to remove the cap, you basically have to unmount the whole body, before you can access the third screw on the crank case filter cover!
Hope it never comes down to maintenance with these bikes!
On the bright side, I know of a girl who had a (non-chinese) scooter for 15 years and aside from an oil change now and then, and changing brake pads, never done anything to it, and it still runs!
Not saying it's the same with chinese scooters, but the chance is that you won't need to do much on your bike for many years, and certain things (like valve adjustments) might only need to be done when the motor starts acting up; probably on double the miles that the maintenance manual states that the valves need to be checked!
