Lets say you just bought a new scooter. Now, how would you break in a new engine ? How many miles would you put on it before you change oil for the first time ? How many miles would you put on the scoot bfore you would change the gear oil ?

Like terrilee said, you don't know what's in there.
I would change all liquids immediately. Some people even change the brake fluid.
The hard break in where you run the engine through normal operating speeds is what I used. Just don't hold any speed too long for the first one or two hundred miles.
Using the recommended viscosity dino (not synthetic) is a good idea for the engine break in oil. I would change it out after one or two hundred miles and then do another change at about five hundred miles and then change to synthetic for regular oil change intervals.
I would change out the gear oil after about one thousand miles and then once a year after that. I use synthetic gear oil in the recommended viscosity.
Some people have had good results using 0W-40 oil in the engine as it gives better cold starting protection and also flows better to help cool the engine after it's warmed up.
