grip. This will shorten the time required to slow
down.

(2)

(1)

35

(3) PROPER RIDING WILL PROLONG THE

ENGINE

LIFE

For a new scooter, keep the speed below 40km per
hour within the first 1000km of riding.
Avoid sudden acceleration and long-time riding at high
speed.
In hot weather, the engine overheats easily at long-time
idling. Stop the engine in this case.

CAUTION:

Moderate riding will prolong the engine life.

(4) APPLY BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKE

LEVELS WHEN BRAKING

First restore the throttle grip to the closed position and
then pull the brake levers tight.
The best way to brake the scooter is to pull the brake
levers "slowly" at the beginning, then pull them tight.

CAUTION:

It may cause the scooter to slip and could be very
dangerous.

40KM

36

(5) DO NOT MAKE SUDDEN STOP OR SHARP TURN

Sudden stop and sharp turn are the main causes for
slipping and could be very dangerous.
In rainy days the road is slippery. Sudden stop will
cause the scooter to slip. Be careful to avoid
danger.
When approaching a corner or turn, close the throttle
fully, and slow the scooter down by applying both front
and rear brakes at the same time.
After completing the turn, open the throttle gradually to
accelerate the scooter.

37

(6) BE MORE CAREFUL WHILE RIDING IN RAINY

DAYS

A longer braking distance is required in rainy days
than in sunny days. Be sure to slow down and brake
the scooter slowly as soon as possible.
When riding on a descending road, restore the throttle
grip to closed position and slow down by making
intermittent braking.

CAUTION:

11.KYMCO CLEAN AIR SYSTEM (FOR EURO 2)

The KYMCO Clean Air System is a secondary air suction system that helps the exhaust gases to
burn more completely. When the spent fuel charge is released into the exhaust system, it is still
hot enough to burn. The system allows extra air into the exhaust system so that the spent fuel
charge can continue to burn. This continued burning action tends to burn up a great deal of the
normally unburned gases, as well as changing a significant portion of the poisonous carbon
monoxide into harmless carbon dioxide.
