(1) Filler neck
Recommended fuel: UNLEADED FUEL
Fuel tank capacity:
Total: 8.1L(1.74 lmp gal, 2.08 US gal)
Reserve: 1L(0.22 lmp gal, 0.26 US gal)
Your KYMCO engine has been designed to
use regular unleaded gasoline with a pump
octane number of 86 or higher, or research
octane number of 91 or higher. If knocking or
pinging occurs, use a different brand of
gasoline or premium unleaded fuel. Unleaded
fuel will give you longer spark plug life and
reduced maintenance cost.
Use unleaded fuel only because it produces
fewer engine and spark plug deposits and
extends the life of the exhaust system. Never
use stale or contaminated gasoline or an
oil/gasoline mixture.
Avoid getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel
tank.

ENGINE BREAK-IN
There is never a more important period in the
life of your machine than the period between
zero and 20 hours.
For this reason, we ask that you carefully
read the following material. Because the
engine is brand new, you must not put an
excessive load on it for the first 20 hours, the
various parts in the engine wear and polish
themselves to the correct operating
clearances.
During this period, prolonged full throttle
operation or any condition which might result
in excessive engine heating must be avoided.
However, momentary (2~3 seconds
maximum) full throttle operation under load
does not harm the engine.
Each full throttle acceleration sequence
should be followed with a substantial rest
period for the engine by cruising at lower
r/min so the engine can rid itself of the
temporary build up of heat.
If any abnormality is noticed during this
period, consult a KYMCO dealer.

BRAKING
Practice starting and stopping at slow
speeds. Gradually work up to faster starts
and stops.
1. Steer straight ahead. Close the throttle
completely, remove your thumb from the
throttle lever.
2. Gently apply the brakes: pull both hand
levers.
Gradually increase the lever or/and pedal
pressure as you feel the brakes slowing your
speed. The pressure used depends on your
speed and the condition of the terrain you are
riding. Slick , slippery or muddy ground
Pulling one or both brake levers or/and
depressing brake pedal too hard may cause
the front and/or rear wheels to skid or slide
out of control. If this happens, release all
pressure on the lever(s) immediately. Steer
straight ahead to regain control. Then gently
reapply the brakes.
Independent use of only the front or rear
brakes reduces stopping performance.
Extreme braking may cause the wheels to
lock, reducing control of the ATV
When possible, reduce speed or brake before
entering a turn. Closing the throttle or braking
in mid-turn may cause wheel slippage which
will reduce control of your ATV.

Page 84
TURNING YOUR ATV
To achieve maximum traction while riding on-road, the two rear wheels are mounted solidly on
one axle and turn together at the same speed. Therefore, unless the wheel on the inside of the
turn is allowed to slip or lose some traction, theATV will resist turning.
When approaching a corner or turn, close the throttle fully, and slow theATV down by applying
both front and rear brakes at the same time.
As you do so, put your weight on the
footboard to the outside of the turn
(opposite your desired direction) and lean
your upper body into the turn.
After completing the turn, open the throttle
Gradually to accelerate the ATV.
Lean towards

POTENTIAL HAZARD
Turning improperly
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
ATV could go out of control, causing a
collision or overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always follow proper procedures for
turning as described in this Owner's
Manual.
Practice turning at low speeds before
attempting to turn at faster speeds. Do
not turn at speeds too fast for your skills
or the conditions.
Do not turn at excessive speeds.

CLIMBING UP SLOPE
Use proper riding techniques to avoid vehicle
overturns on slopes. Be sure that you can
maneuver your ATV well on flat ground before
attempting any incline and then practice
riding first on gentle slopes. Try more difficult
climbs only after you have developed your
skill. In all cases avoid inclines with slippery
or loose surfaces, or obstacles that might
cause you to lose control.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating on excessively steep slopes.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The vehicle can overturn more easily on
extremely steep slopes than on level
surfaces or small slopes.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never operate the ATV on slopes too
steep for the ATV or for your abilities.
Practice on smaller slopes before
attempting large slopes.
It is important when climbing a slope to make
sure that tour weight is transferred forward on
the ATV. This can be accomplished by leaning
forward, steeper inclines and standing on the
footboards and leaning forward over the
handlebars.
76
Page 86
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Climbing slopes improperly
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause the
ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always follow proper procedures for
climbing slopes as described in this
Owner's Manual.
Always check the terrain carefully before
you start up any slope.
Never climb slopes with excessively
slippery or loose surfaces.
Shift your weight forward.
Never open the throttle suddenly.
The ATV could flip over backwards.
Never go over the top of any slope at high
speed.
An obstacle or a sharp drop could be on
the other side of the slope.
77
Page 87
If you are climbing a slope and you find that
you have not properly judged your ability to
make it to the top, you should turn theATV
around while you still have forward motion
(provided you have the room to do so) and go
down the slope.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Improperly crossing slopes or turning on
slopes.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause the
ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never attempt to turn the ATV around on
any slope until you have mastered the
turning technique as described in the
Owner's Manual on level ground. Be very
careful when turning on any slope.
Avoid crossing the side of a steep slope
if possible.
When crossing the side of a slope:
Always follow proper procedures as
described in the Owner's Manual.
Avoid slopes with excessively slippery or
loose surfaces.
Shift your weight to the up of slope side
of the ATV.
OK
78
Page 88
If your ATV has stalled or stopped and you
believe you can continue up the slope, restart
carefully to make sure you do not lift the front
wheels which could cause you to lose control.
If you are unable to continue up the slope,
dismount the ATV on up slope side.
Physically turn the ATV around and then
descend the slope.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Stalling, rolling backwards or
improperly dismounting while climbing a
slope.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could result in ATV overturning.
If you start to roll backwards, DO NOT use the
rear brake to stop. TheATV could easily tip
over backwards. Instead, dismount the ATV
immediately on the up of slope side.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Maintain steady speed when climbing a
slope.
If you lose all forward speed:
Keep weight up slope.
Apply the brakes.
Lock parking brake, after you are
stopped.
If you begin rolling backwards:
Keep weight up slope.
Never apply the rear brake while rolling
backwards.

If the slope is not too steep and you have good footing, you may be able to walk theATV back
down the . Make sure your intended path is clear in case you lose control of theATV. If
you decide you can walk theATV safely:
1. Stand with your body facing downs , beside the vehicle so you can reach the front brake
lever with your left hand.
2. Be sure your legs are clear of the wheels.
3. Check your footing.
4. Then slowly and carefully back the ATV down the using the front brake lever to control
speed.
5. If you lose control of theATV, for your safety, get away from the vehicle,
If the is too steep or too slippery, or if you have any doubt whether you can safely walk

RIDING DOWN SLOPE
When riding your ATV down slope, shift your
weight as far to the rear and up slope side of
the ATV as possible. Move back on the seat
and sit with your arms straight. Improper
braking may cause a loss of traction.
Use caution while descending a slope with
loose or slippery surfaces. Braking ability and
traction may be adversely affected by these
surfaces.
Improper braking may also cause a loss of
traction. Whenever possible, ride your ATV
straight down slope. Avoid sharp angles
which could allow the ATV to tip or roll over.
Carefully choose your path and ride no faster
than you will be able to react to obstacles
which may appear.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Going down a slope improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause the
ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always follow proper procedures for
going down slopes as described in this
Owner's Manual. Note: a special
technique is required when braking as
you go down a slope.
Always check the terrain carefully before
you start down any slope.
Shift your weight backward.
Never go down a slope at high speed.
Avoid going down a slope at an angle
that would cause the vehicle to lean
sharply to one side. Go straight down the
slope where possible.

riding techniques completely.
WHAT TO DO....
If your ATV doesn't turn when you want it to:
Bring the ATV to a stop and practice the
turning maneuvers again. Be sure you are
putting your weight on the footboard to the
outside of the turn. Position your weight over
the front wheels for better control. (See
pages 75.)
If your ATV can't make it up a slope you are
trying to climb:
Turn the ATV around if you still have forward
speed. If not, stop, dismount on the up slope
side of the ATV and physically turn the ATV
around. If the ATV starts to slip backwards DO
NOT USE THE REAR BRAKE - the ATV may
tip over on top of you. Dismount the ATV on

F. Start the engine and warm up for a few
minutes. While warming up, check for oil
leakage. If oil leakage is found, stop the
engine immediately and check for the
cause.
SPARK PLUG INSPECTION
The spark plug is an important engine
component and is easy to inspect. The
condition of the spark plug can indicate the
condition of the engine.
For example, a very white center electrode
porcelain color could indicate an intake air
leak or carburet problem for that cylinder. Do
not attempt to diagnose such problems
yourself.
Instead, take the machine to a KYMCO
dealer.
You should periodically remove and inspect
the spark plug because heat and deposits will
cause the spark plug to slowly break down
and erode.
If electrode erosion becomes excessive, you
should replace the spark plug with one of the
Standard spark plug: NGK BR8HAS
