SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE
The importance of maintenance
Maintaining your scooter properly is essential for
safe, economical and trouble-free riding. It will also
help reduce air pollution and maximize fuel
economy.
To help you properly care for your scooter, the
following pages in this Owner's Manual include a
maintenance schedule to help you make sure your
scooter is serviced at the appropriate intervals.
WARNING
If your scooter tips over or becomes involved in
a crash, be sure your KYMCO dealer inspects
all major parts, even if you are able to make
some repairs.
Improperly maintaining this scooter or failing to
correct a problem before you ride could result in
a crash in which you could be seriously hurt or
killed.
These instructions are based on the assumption
that your scooter will be used exclusively for its
designed purpose. Sustained high speed
operation or operation in unusually wet or dusty
conditions will require more frequent service than
specified in the maintenance schedule. Consult
your KYMCO dealer for recommendations
applicable to your individual needs and use.
NOTE: Always follow the inspection and
maintenance recommendations and schedules in
this Owner's Manual.
4
WARNING
When performing maintenance on your scooter
you may need to start the engine. Running your
scooter's engine indoors or in a garage can be
hazardous. Exhaust gas contains carbon
monoxide, a gas that is colorless and odorless,
and can cause death or severe injury.
Operate the engine only where these is
adequate ventilation, preferably outdoors.

C: CLEAN R: REPLACE A: ADJUST L: LUBRICATE
The maintenance schedule on the flowing two pages specifies the maintenance required to keep your
People GT 125i/200i/300i scooter in peak operating condition. Maintenance work should be
performed in accordance with KYMCO standards and specifications by properly trained and equipped
technicians. Your KYMCO dealer meets all of these requirements.

Air cleaner filter element
The air cleaner filter element should be
serviced at regular intervals by a KYMCO dealer,
unless you have the proper tools, service data and
are technically qualified to do so.
Have the element serviced more often when riding
in unusually wet or dusty areas.

Spark plug
MAINTENANCE
4
Remove the carbon deposits from the spark plug
with a small wire brush or a spark plug cleaning
machine. After cleaning (or when installing a new
spark plug) readjust the spark plug gap to specified
limit by using a spark plug gap thickness gauge.
The spark plug should be replaced periodically.
Whenever removing the carbon deposits, be sure
to observe the color of the removed spark plug's
porcelain tip. This color tells you whether or not the
standard spark plug is suitable for your type of
riding. Under normal usage, a spark plug's
porcelain tip should be light brown or tan color.
If the spark plug porcelain tip is very white or
glazed appearing, then the spark plug has been
operating too hot. In such a situation, you should
replace the standard spark plug with a spark plug
that has a colder heat range (usually a higher
number; consult with your KYMCO dealer when
selecting an alternate spark plug).
Recommended spark plug:CR7E (NGK)
CAUTION
An improper spark plug may have an incorrect fit
or heat range for your engine. This may cause
severe engine damage which will not be covered
under warranty. Never use a spark plug with an
improper heat range, as severe engine damage
could result.
Spark plug gap: 0.024 - 0.028 in
(0.6 - 0.7 mm)

scooter in an upright position.
If the coolant level is below the LOWER level
mark , remove the floor mat , remove the
reserve tank lid and then the reserve tank cap
to add coolant mixture until it reaches the upper
level mark .

Your KYMCO scooter is equipped with a
maintenance-free (sealed) type battery so it is not
necessary to check the battery's electrolyte level or
add distilled water.
NOTE: If your battery seems weak and/or is
leaking electrolyte (causing hard starting or other
electrical troubles), contact your KYMCO dealer
immediately.
CAUTION
Your battery is a maintenance-free type and can
4
be permanently damaged if the cap strip is
removed.
Fuse
When frequent fuse failures occur, it usually
indicates a short circuit or an overload in the
electrical system.

MAINTENANCE
Tires
WARNING
Failure to follow these warnings may result in an
accident due to tire failure. The tires on your scooter
are a crucial link between your scooter and the road.
You and your passenger's personal safety are
dependant upon the condition of your scooter's tires.
Follow these instructions:
Check tire condition and pressure, and adjust the
inflation pressure before each ride.
Avoid overloading your scooter.
Replace a tire when worn to the specified limit, or if you
find any damage such as cuts or cracks.
Always use the proper size and type of tires as
specified in this Owner's Manual.
Balance the wheel after tire installation.
Read this section of Owner's Manual carefully.
Failure to perform a reasonable break-in of the tires
could cause tire slip and loss of control.
Use extra care when riding on new tires as the grip
will be limited. Perform proper break-in of the tires, as
stated in the break-in recommendation section of this
manual. Avoid hard acceleration, hard cornering, and
hard braking for the first 100 miles (160 km).
NOTE: Check the tire inflation pressure and tire
tread condition at the periods listed in the periodic
maintenance schedule. For maximum safety and
good tire life, the tire pressures should be
inspected more often.
Tire pressure
Insufficient air pressure in the tires not only
accelerates tire wear but it also affects the stability
of your scooter. Under-inflated tires make smooth
cornering difficult and overinflated tires decrease
the amount of tire in contact with the ground, which
can lead to skids and loss of control. Make sure
that the tire pressures on your scooter are within
the specified limits at all times.
NOTE: Tire pressure should only be adjusted
when the tires are cold.
Front tire (rider only): 24.85 PSI (1.75 kgf/cm )
Rear tire (rider only): 28.40 PSI (2.00 kgf/cm )
Front tire (rider & passenger):24.85 PSI (1.75 kgf/cm )
Rear tire (rider & passenger): 32.0 PSI (2.25 kgf/cm )
