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.

Not wearing a helmet increases your chance of serious
injury or death in a crash. Be sure you and your passenger always wear an approved motorcycle helmet that
fits properly.

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 observeyour 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
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.
√√
√ Do you have enough gasoline in the fuel tank?
√√
√√
√ Did you follow the correct procedure for starting the
√√
engine?
√√
√ Is the battery voltage low (you may need to kick start
√√
your scooter)?
√√
√ Is the main fuse in good condition?
√√
NOTE: Use this Owner’s Manual to check components and
perform adjustments that are within your technical ability.
If you cannot resolve the problem, do not hesitate to contact your KYMCO dealer for assistance.
