SCOOTER SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your scooter can provide you with many years of service and
pleasure if you take responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges that you can meet on the road. There
is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You
will find many helpful recommendations throughout this
manual. Here are some very important safety tips:
Wear a helmet
Scooter safety equipment starts with a quality helmet. One of
the most serious injuries you can suffer in a crash is a head
injury. Always wear a properly approved helmet. You should
also wear suitable eye protection.
Make yourself easy to see
To make yourself more visible, wear bright, reflective clothing;
position yourself so other drivers can see you; signal before
turning or changing lanes; and use your horn when it will help
others notice you.
Know your limits
Ride within the boundaries of your own skill at all times. Knowing these limits and staying within them will help you avoid
accidents.
Keep your scooter in safe condition
For safe riding, it is important to inspect your scooter before
every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never
exceed load limits, and only use accessories that have been
approved by KYMCO for this scooter.
Inspect your scooter before riding
Do not forget to perform an entire safety inspection to ensure
your, and your passenger's safety, before each ride.
Be extra safety conscious on bad weather days
Riding on bad weather days, especially wet ones, requires extra caution. Braking distance can double on a rainy day. Stay
off of painted surfaces, manhole covers and greasy appearing
areas on the pavement, as they can be especially slippery. Use
extreme caution at railway crossings and on metal gratings and
bridges. Whenever your are in doubt about the road conditions,
slow down.
Modification
Modification of your scooter, or removal of original equipment
may render the vehicle unsafe or illegal. Obey all applicable
equipment regulations in your area.

SCOOTER SAFETY
PROTECTIVE APPAREL
For your safety, always wear an approved motorcycle or scooter
helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants, and a longsleeved shirt or jacket whenever you ride your scooter.
Helmets and protection
Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear because it offers the best protection against head injuries. Your
helmet should fit your head comfortably and securely. Always
wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and aid
your vision.
Additional riding gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, you should also use:
• Sturdy boots with nonslip soles to help protect your
feet and ankles
• Leather gloves to keep your hands warm and help prevent blisters, cuts, burns and bruises
• A motorcycle or scooter riding suit or jacket that has
been designed for comfort, as well as protection. Bright
colored and reflective clothing can help make you more
noticeable in traffic. Be sure to avoid loose clothing
that can get caught on any part of your scooter.

SECTION 3 OPERATION
Break-in recommendations
The first 600 miles (1,000 km) of riding are the most important
in the life of your scooter. Following proper break-in procedures
during this time will help ensure maximum life and performance
from your new scooter. Proper break-in operation allows the machined surfaces to polish each other and mate smoothly.
Your scooter’s reliability and performance depend on your
exercise of special care and restraint during the break-in period. It is especially important that you avoid operating the
engine in a manner which could expose the engine parts to
excessive heat.
The following guidelines should be followed during the breakin period:
Maximum throttle operation:
Initial 300 miles (600 km): ...................Less than 1/2 throttle
300 miles to 600 miles (1,000 km):.....Less than 3/4 throttle
Vary the engine speed:
The engine speed should be varied and (not held at a constant rate) for long periods of time. This allows the parts to be
"loaded" with pressure, and then “unloaded”, allowing the parts
to cool. This aids in the mating process of the engine and
transmission components. Although it is essential that some
stress be placed on these components during break-in to en-
sure that this mating process occurs. Do not, however, apply
excessive load on the scooter's drive line.
Avoid constant low speed operation:
Operating the engine at constant low speed (light load) can
cause parts to glaze and not seat in properly. Allow the engine
to accelerate freely, without exceeding the recommended
throttle openings.
Avoid using full throttle during the break-in period.
The initial service:
The 200 mile (300 km) initial service is the most important
service your scooter will receive. Take extra care to observe
your scooter’s initial service in a timely fashion. During
the break-in period, all of the engine components will have
worn in, and all of the other parts will have seated in, so adjustments will be required. All fasteners will be tightened, and
the contaminated engine oil will be replaced.
NOTE: Completion of the 200 mile (300 km) initial service
will ensure optimum service life and performance from
your scooter. It is imperative that this service be performed
in a timely fashion.
18
Page 21
OPERATION
The 200 mile (300 km) service should be performed as
outlined in the maintenance schedule section of this
owner's manual. Pay particular attention to the cautions
and warnings in the Maintenance Schedule section.
Unless you have formal training as a service technician and have access to KYMCO technical reference
materials, it is strongly suggested that you have the
initial service performed by a KYMCO dealer.
Break-in recommendation for new tires:
Just as it is necessary for you to follow proper break-in procedures to protect your engine and ensure its maximum life, the
same holds true for your new tires. Wear-in the tread surface
by gradually increasing your cornering lean angles over the
first 100 miles (160 km). before attempting maximum lean
angles. A void hard acceleration, hard cornering, and hard braking for the first 100 miles (160 km).
Failure to break in your tires may cause the tires to slip
and could result in your losing control of the scooter.
Use extra care when riding on new tires. Perform proper
break-in of the tires as described in this Owner’s Manual,
and avoid hard acceleration, hard cornering, and hard
braking for the first 100 miles (160 km).
Troubleshooting
It can be fustrating if your scooter fails to start, or stops running
during your ride. In the rare instance this occurs, take a few
moments to check the following items. This checklist covers
some of the most common, simple problems which may arise,
and which can be quickly resolved.

Pre-ride inspection (PRI)
For your safety, it is very important that you establish the following routine before every ride: Walk around your scooter
checking each of the items set forth below. If you detect any
problem, be sure to address it immediately, or have it corrected by your KYMCO dealer.
Improperly maintaining your scooter or failing to correct a problem before riding may cause a malfunction
in which you or others can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always perform a pre-ride inspection before every ride
and correct any problems.
1. Engine oil level: Add engine oil if required (page 21). Check
for leaks.
2. Tires: Check condition and inflation pressure (pages 21 & 22).
3. Fuel level: Fill fuel tank when necessary (page 23). Check
for leaks.
4. Front and rear brakes: Check operation, making sure there
is proper free-play at the left lever
fluid in the front brake fluid reservoir (pages 24 through
27).
, and that there is brake
5. Steering: Check for smooth operation in all steering positions (page 27).
6. Instruments: Make sure the speedometer, fuel level gauge
and indicator lights function (page 28).
7. Lights and horn: Check that headlight, tail/brake light, turn
signals, indicators and horn function properly (pages 28 & 29).
8. Chassis: Check for overall proper function (pages 29 & 30).
Performing pre-ride inspections does not take the place
of regular maintenance. Follow the maintenance schedule recommendations on pages 40 - 41 of this manual.
After one month of use or 200 miles (300 km) of riding,
which ever occurs first, contact your KYMCO dealer to
perform an initial service on your scooter

Fuel recommendation:
Use unleaded gasoline with a research octane number of
91 or higher. Unleaded gasoline will extend spark plug life.
Whenever possible, maintain the fule level at no less than
1/4 tank.
Do not overfill the tank. There should be no fuel in the
fuel filler neck. Excess fuel can contaminate the evaporative emission canister, resulting in poor driveability.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be
burned or seriously injured while handling fuel.
* Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
* Refuel only outdoors.
* Clean up fuel spills immediately.

OPERATION
PRI - Brake system inspection
The right brake lever on your People scooter controls the front
hydraulic brake. The left brake lever controls the rear mechanical drum brake. Your scooter requires the proper brake lever
free-play so the brakes will be responsive and will not drag,
causing premature wear to the brake pads. The free-play is
the measured distance between the brake lever at rest and
the point at which the brake first begins to engage. Before
riding, you should inspect the brake lever free-play, the rear
brake shoe wear, the front brake fluid level and the front brake
pad wear.
Rear brake system inspection:
1. The rear drum brake is equipped with a brake show wear
indicator. When the brake is applied, an arrow on the brake
arm 1 moves towards reference marks 2 on the brake hub.
2. If the arrow points to the reference marks when the rear
brake is fully applied, the shoes are worn and require replacement.
If the brake arm pointer is outside of the adjustment range
markings, the brake shoes must be inspected and may
require replacement. If your scooter requires brake shoe
replacement, see your KYMCO dealer for this service.

wear prematurely.
Front brake system inspection:
The right brake lever on your People scooter controls the front
hydraulic brake. Check the fluid level through the inspection
window on the brake fluid master cylinder reservoir. Inspect
the brake pad wear at the front brake caliper.
As the brake pads wear, the brake fluid level drops as the
hydraulic system automatically compensates for the wear.
There are no adjustments to perform, but fluid level and
pad wear must be inspected periodically to make sure the
brakes will function properly.
The system must also be inspected for fluid leaks. Leaks
can cause the system to lose pressure and malfunction.
To prevent damage to the brake system, only use DOT 4
brake fluid from a sealed container. Never allow contaminants (dirt, water, etc.) to enter the brake fluid reservoir.
See your KYMCO dealer for this service.

Brake fluid can damage paint and plastic, so handle the
brake fluid with care. When adding brake fluid, be sure
that the reservoir is horizontal before removing the cover
so you will not spill fluid onto the scooter.
2. Visually inspect the front brake pads on your scooter for
wear. Each pad’s surface has grooves 8 that will indicate
the amount of life left in each pad. If the grooves are visible,
there is adequate brake pad material. If the grooves are no
longer visible, or their depth is severely reduced, the pads
require replacement.

OPERATION
As the brake pads wear, the brake fluid level drops as
the hydraulic system automatically compensates for the
wear. The brake fluid level must be inspected at the
same time you inspect the brake pads for wear.
If the wear indicator grooves in the front brake pads
are no longer visible, it is an indication that the brake
pads are worn and require replacement. Consult your
KYMCO dealer for any brake-related service.
Prolonged and repetitive use of the vehicle’s hydraulic
brakes for high speed stops will cause overheating of
the brake fluid, premature brake pad wear, and can cause
unexpected loss of braking ability.
PRI - Steering & handlebar inspection
Before riding, inspect your scooter’s handlebars for damage
to make sure the steering’s side-to-side and up-and-down
movements are smooth.
1. Apply the front brake (right lever) and press down and release
pressure on the handlebar, listening for any abnormal noise.
2. As you press down and release, also feel for any looseness from the chassis transmitted to the handlebar.
3. Turn the handlebar from the center fully to the left and then
fully to the right, feeling for any loose components and listening for any abnormal sounds.
If the steering does not move smoothly or feels obstructed, do not ride your scooter. See your KYMCO
dealer immediately for repairs or adjustment.

below 25 MPH (40 KPH) during this break-in period.
Use the scooter’s turn signals to signal your intention
to merge into traffic. Always scan around you and check
the rear view mirrors so you are aware of other traffic.
Use caution as you merge into traffic, keeping to the
right until you match the pace of the traffic.
6. Use both brake levers when slowing and stopping the
scooter. Release the throttle when braking.
NOTE: Decreasing the scooter’s speed with a balanced
application of both brake levers and a reduction of throttle
will reduce the distance required to stop. Squeeze the levers lightly at first, increasing the pressure smoothly until stopped.
Prolonged and repetitive use of the vehicle’s hydraulic
brakes for high speed stops will cause overheating of
the brake fluid and premature brake pad wear, which
can cause unexpected loss of braking ability.
Avoid using just one brake to stop the scooter, as
this will affect the tires’ grip.
Avoid sudden braking, as this will also affect the tires’
grip and can cause an accident.
7. When riding and turning the scooter, use smooth movements, and avoid abrupt accelerations and braking whenever possible.
35
Page 38
OPERATION
NOTE: At certain speeds your scooter will turn more effectively by leaning your body, than by applying pressure
on the handlebars. Practice steering in an open, trafficfree area until you are familiar with the handling characteristics of your scooter.
Reduce your speed when riding your scooter in wet
conditions. Wet road surfaces reduce tire grip and
greatly increase the distance required for safe braking.
A wet surface also reduces tire grip during cornering.
Reduced tire grip will make it more difficult to control
your scooter and may cause an accident.
36
Reduce your speed when riding on uneven or loose
road surfaces. When riding downhill, use less throttle
and brake intermittently to control the vehicle’s
speed. These conditions reduce tire grip and can
cause an accident.
8. As you approach a turn, or plan to stop, use the turn signals well in advance to alert other traffic of your intentions.
Scan for other vehicles around you, turn your head and
use the scooter’s mirrors. Slowly change lanes. Use your
brakes in addition to closing the throttle so your brake
light will help alert vehicles behind you that your are decelerating.

SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE
The impor tance 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 .
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 there is adequate
ventilation, preferably outdoors.

MAINTENANCE
Tires
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. Y ou 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 the Owner's Manual carefully.
Failure to perform a reasonable break-in of the tires
could cause tire slippage and loss of control.
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 also affects the stability of your scooter . Under- inflated tires make smooth cornering dif ficult, 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.
Use extra care when riding on new tires, as the grip
will be limited. Perform proper break-in of the tires, as
set forth in the break-in recommendation section of this
manual. Avoid hard acceleration, hard cornering, and
hard braking for the first 100 miles (160 km).

Use a premium quality, 4-stroke engine oil to help your scooter
attain its highest possible service life. Only use oils that have
a SJ rating per the API service classification.
Engine oil capacity (50): 0.9 US qt. (0.85L)
Engine oil capacity (150): 0.96 US qt. (0.91 L)
Engine oil viscosity: SAE 10W-40
If this viscosity is not available, select an alternative engine
oil according to the chart shown below.
ENGINE OIL VISCOSITIES
Engine oil level inspection
Check the engine oil level each day before riding your scooter
(see page 21).
The engine and related components can become very hot.
Use care when inspecting or adjusting the oil level to avoid
injury. If needed, let the engine and exhaust system cool
before working in those areas.
Prolonged contact with used engine oil can cause skin
cancer. Although rare, this possibility exists if you
handle oil on a frequent basis. Thoroughly wash your
hands with soap and water as soon as possible after
handling used oil.
Engine oil replacement
Engine oil quality is the primary factor affecting engine longevity. Change your scooter's engine oil as specified in the maintenance schedule (see page 40 & 41).
NOTE: When riding your scooter in very dusty conditions,
oil changes should be performed more frequently than
specified in the maintenance schedule.
NOTE: Always dispose of used engine oil in a environmentally responsible manner. You should take the drained
oil in a sealed container to your local recycling center or
service station for reclamation. Do not throw the oil in the
trash, pour it on the ground, or pour it down a drain.
NOTE: Change the engine oil with the engine at normal
operating temperature and with the scooter positioned on
its main stand, to assure complete and rapid draining.

Spark plug
Remove the carbon deposits from the spark plug with a small
wire brush, a pick 1 or a spark plug cleaning machine. After
cleaning (or when installing a new spark plug) readjust the
spark plug gap 2 to the specified limit by using a spark plug
gap thickness gauge. The spark plug should also be replaced
if the sealing washer 3 has been compressed flat from multiple installations. The spark plug should be replaced periodically. Under normal usage, a spark plug's porcelain tip 4
should appear light brown or tan in 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).

Battery
Your KYMCO scooter is equipped with a maintenance-free
(sealed) battery. Therefore, 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 .
Your battery is a maintenance-free type and can be permanently damaged if the cap strip is removed.
Charge the battery with a charger specifically designed
for use with a maintenance-free type battery. Using another type of charger can damage the battery.
Y our scooter's battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas
during normal operation. A spark or flame can cause
the battery to explode with enough force to kill or seriously injure you.
Wear protective clothing and a face shield, or have a
qualified technician perform the battery maintenance.

Do not mix brake fluid types. Doing so may cause brake
failure and could result in an accident.
Do not allow brake fluid to touch the scooter’s body
work, as it will damage the painted surface.
Brake lever & shoe adjustment (rear brake)
Your scooter requires the proper lever free-play and brake
shoe adjustment so the rear brake will be responsive and will
not drag, causing premature wear to the brake shoes.
Note: The free-play is the measured distance between the
brake lever at rest and the point at which the brake first
begins to engage (see page 24).
1. Measure the free-play at the left brake lever end 5:
0.4 - 0.6 in (10 - 20 mm).
0.4 - 0.8 in
55

Cleaning
Clean your scooter regularly to protect the surface finishes
and inspect for damage, wear , and oil, coolant or brake fluid
leakage.
Avoid cleaning products that are not specifically designed for
scooter, motorcycle, or automobile surfaces. Nonspecific cleaners may contain harsh detergents or chemical solvents that
could damage the metal, paint, and plastic on your scooter .
NOTE: If your scooter is still warm from recent operation,
give the engine and exhaust system time to cool off before washing. Avoid the use of high-pressure water spray
(typical in coin-operated car washes), as this powerful
spray can damage components on your scooter.
Washing your scooter
1. Rinse the scooter thoroughly with cool water to remove any
loose dirt.
2. Clean the scooter with a sponge or soft cloth using cool water .
Avoid directing water at muffler outlets and electrical parts.
3. Clean the plastic parts using a cloth or sponge dampened with
a solution of mild detergent and water . Rub the soiled area
gently, rinsing it frequently with fresh water . Take care to keep
brake fluid or other chemical solvents away from the scooter ,
as they will damage the plastic and painted surfaces.
4. After cleaning, rinse the scooter thoroughly with plenty of
clean water. This rinsing is required to remove detergent
residue which can corrode alloy parts.
5. Dry the scooter and then start the engine, allowing it to run
for several minutes.
NOTE: The inside of the headlight lens may become clouded
immediately after washing the scooter. Moisture condensation inside the headlight lens will disappear gradually as it is
heated by the headlight. After washing, run the engine while
keeping the headlight on to dissipate any condensation.
53
Page 56
MAINTENANCE
6. Test the brakes before riding the scooter . Several applications of the brakes may be necessary to restore normal braking performance.
NOTE: Due to water on the brake components, braking
efficiency may be temporarily impaired immediately after
washing the scooter. Anticipate longer stopping distances
to avoid a possible accident.
Finishing touches:
After washing your scooter , consider using a commerciallyavailable spray cleaner/polish or a quality liquid or paste wax
to enhance and protect the paint's finish. Use only a nonabrasive polish or wax made specifically for scooters, motorcycles,
or automobiles. Apply the polish or wax according to the instructions on the container .
Removing road salt
The salt used in some communities to prevent road icing can
become very corrosive to your scooter. Wash your scooter as
soon as possible if it comes in contact with road salt (or sea
water).
1. Clean the scooter using cool water (see page 53). Do not
use warm water, as this will increase the corrosive effect of
the salt.
2. Dry the scooter and protect painted and metal surfaces
with wax or polish.
Painted aluminum wheel maintenance
Even if protected by paint, aluminum may corrode from contact with dirt, mud, or road salt. Clean the scooter's wheels
with a wet sponge and mild detergent. Avoid stiff brushes, steel
wool, or cleaners containing abrasives or chemical compounds.
After washing, rinse with plenty of water and dry with a clean
cloth. Apply touch-up paint to the wheels where damage has
occurred.
Exhaust pipe maintenance
The exhaust system is stainless steel, but it can become stained
by oil or mud. If necessary , remove heat stains with a liquid
kitchen-counter abrasive.

STORAGE GUIDE
Extended storage, such as for the winter months, requires that
you take certain steps to reduce the ef fects of deterioration
from the non-use of your scooter. Whenever possible, perform
any necessary periodic maintenance or repairs before storage, so the scooter will be in good condition for riding when it is
removed from storage.
Storage
1. Change the engine oil and filter .
2. Drain the carburetor (if equipped) and empty the fuel tank
into an approved gasoline container using a commercially
available hand siphon or an equivalent method. Spray the
inside of the tank with an aerosol rust-inhibiting oil. Close
the fuel filler cap on the fuel tank
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can
be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel. Stop
the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. Refuel the scooter outdoors and wipe up any spills immediately.
3. To prevent rusting in the cylinder , perform the following:
Remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug, using tape or
string to secure the cap to any convenient plastic body part so
that it is positioned away from the spark plugs.
Remove the spark plug from the engine and store it in a
safe, dry place. Do not connect the spark plug to the spark
plug cap.
Pour a tablespoon (15 - 20 cc) of clean engine oil into the
cylinder and cover the spark plug hole with a piece of cloth.
Crank the engine several times to distribute the oil.
Reinstall the spark plug and spark plug cap.
4. Remove the battery. Store it in an area protected from freezing temperatures and direct sunlight. Slow charge the battery once a month (use a quality charger designed for use
on a maintenance-free type battery).
5. Wash and dry the scooter . Wax all painted surfaces. Coat
the chrome or bare aluminum parts with rust inhibiting oil.
6. Inflate the tires to their recommended pressures. Place the
scooter on blocks to raise both tires off the ground.
7. Cover the scooter (do not use plastic or other coated materials) and store in an unheated area, free of excessive moisture, with a minimum of daily temperature variation. Do not
store the scooter in direct sunlight, as the sun's UV rays
can damage the body work and other components.
55

EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
KYMCO Clean-Air System
The KYMCO Clean-Air System is a secondary air suction system that helps the exhaust gases to burn more completely .
When the engine's exhaust is sent into the exhaust system, it contains some unused fuel. This exhaust is still hot
enough to burn the unused fuel. The Clean-Air system introduces more air so the oxygen will then permit the unused fuel
to burn in the exhaust system. This continued burning action uses up a great deal of the normally unused fuel and other
gases, as well as changing a significant portion of the poisonous carbon monoxide into harmless carbon dioxide. T he
Clean-Air system does not use any energy from the engine and does not affect the scooter's performance.
