OPERATION

Break-In

The first 1600km (1000 miles) of riding is very
important to the life of usage. Proper break-in
operation during this period will help ensure
maximum life and performance.
The reliability and performance depend on a
special care and limited operation during the
break-in period.

The following limitations should be complied
during the break-in period:

Initial 800km (500 miles):

Less than 1/2 throttle or not over

Up to 1600km (1000 miles):

Less than 3/4 throttle

Vary the engine speed

The engine speed should be varied and not
held constantly for a long time and also

27

OPERATION

ABS SYSTEM

The ABS system is the equipment that
prevents wheel lockup in case of an
emergency braking, thus is capable to

keep stability when applying brakes.

Braking With ABS

Use steady, even braking application on the
front and rear brake levers simultaneously.
Apply the brake levers with the same grip
pressure as you would without ABS.

The system controls braking pressure
automatically and independently at each
wheel to prevent wheel lockup.

28

Limitations of ABS

ABS does not apply the brakes
automatically. It needs to apply the brakes
at the right time and with the right amount
of braking force.

The ABS system only starts to work after
applying the brake lever.

WARNING

The ABS does not prevent from falling down
while cornering into a slippery condition.

WARNING

ABS is not a substitute for safe driving. Even
with ABS, you must remain alert, react
appropriately and in a timely and defensive
manner during the travel.

Don’t take unnecessary risks.
Cautious driving practices, such as

maintaining an adequate distance away from
the vehicle ahead, not speeding, anticipating

obstacles and adjusting your vehicle’s speed

for traffic, weather and road conditions, are
essential for safe operation.

SECTION 4 -

MAINTENANCE

The importance of maintenance

Maintaining the motorcycle properly is essential
for safe, economical and trouble-free riding. It will
also help reduce air pollution and maximize fuel
economy.

To properly take care of the motorcycle, the
following pages in this Owner's Manual include a
maintenance schedule to help you make sure the
motorcycle is serviced at the appropriate intervals.

These instructions are based on the assumption
that the motorcycle will be used normally on the
design purpose. Usually under high speed
driving or riding in unusually wet or dusty area will
require more frequent service than specified in
the maintenance schedule. Consult with the
KYMCO dealer for recommendations about your
personal needs.

▆NOTE: Always follow the inspections, service

recommendations and schedules on later pages.

WARNING

If the motorcycle turnovers or becomes involved
in a crash, be sure to have the KYMCO dealer
inspect all major parts, even if you are able to
make some repairs.

Improperly maintain the motorcycle or fail to
solve a problem before next riding could result
in a crash in which you could be seriously hurt
or dead.

WARNING

When performing maintenance service on the
motorcycle you may need to start the engine.
Running the engine indoors can be hazardous.
Exhaust ga s contains carbon monoxide which
is colorless and odorless, and can cause death
or severe injury. Start the engine only where is
ventilated well, preferably operate outdoors.

Tires

Tire pressure

Insufficient tire pressure not only advances
wear but also affects the riding stability. Under­inflated tires make turning not smooth and over­inflated tires decrease the contact area with the
ground, which can lead to skid and loss of
control. Make sure that the inflation pressure is
within the specified limits all the time.

▆NOTE: Check the tire inflation pressure and tire tread

condition at the interval listed in the periodic maintenance
schedule. For maximum safety and better tire life, the tire
pressures should be inspected more often.

▆NOTE: Tire pressure should only be adjusted when

the tires are cold.

Front tire: 2.00kg/cm2(one rider)

2.00kg/cm2(rider and passenger)

Rear tire: 2.25kg/cm2 (one rider)

2.25kg/cm2 (rider and passenger)

Tire size:

Front tire: 120/80-14M/C 58S
Rear tire: 150/70-13M/C 64S

WARNING

Fail to follow the instruction below may result
in an accident due to tire failure. The rider’s
personal safety is dependent on the
condition of the scooter's tires.

∎Check tire condition and pressure, and

adjust the inflation pressure before each
ride.

∎Avoid overload on the vehicle.
∎Replace tires which have been worn to the

specified limit, or have any damages such
as cuts or cracks.

∎Always use the designated size and type of

tires as specified in this Manual.

∎Balance the wheel after tire installation.
∎Fail to perform the break-in of the tires could

cause tire slip and loss of control.

∎Be very careful when riding on new tires as

the grip is limited between the ground.

∎Perform proper break-in of the tires to avoid

excessive acceleration, sharp cornering, or
hard braking for the first 160 km (100
miles).

MAINTENANCE

Tires Inspection

Tire wear changes the tire profile and may
affect the vehicle’s handling characteristics.
Check the tire condition before each riding.
Replace the tires if tread depth is less than
the following limit:

Minimum tread depth:

Front: 0.8 mm (0.03 in )
Rear: 0.8 mm (0.03 in)

▆NOTE: Measure the tread depth ①, do not
judge by a visual inspection.

▆NOTE: Be sure to balance the wheel after

repairing a puncture or the tire. Proper wheel
balance is important to avoid variable contact
between tire and ground, and to avoid uneven tire
wear.

▆NOTE: Replace the tires if there’s visual

evidence of damage as cracks or cuts.

WARNING

An improperly repaired, installed, or
balanced tire can cause you to lose
control of your scooter or shorten tire life.

KYMCO dealer.

▆NOTE: Always notice coolant level in the reserve tank.

Do not attempt to add coolant by removing the radiator cap.

Coolant recommendation
Use the proper type and amount of coolant. The
coolant must be in good condition and have the
proper ratio of anti-freeze and distilled water to
prevent freezing, overheating, and corrosion.
Use only high quality ethylene glycol anti-freeze
that contains corrosion protection inhibitors and
the formula is for aluminum alloy engines.
(See the label on the container)

A 50:50 solution of anti-freeze and distilled water
is required. It’s for most operating temperature
and also with good corrosion protection.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION

∎Use only low-mineral drinking water or

distilled water as a part of the anti-freeze
solution.

∎Use tap-water will cause engine damage.
∎Use a higher concentration of anti-freeze in

freezing weather and be replaced by the
KYMCO dealer. This higher concentration of
antifreeze should not exceed 60%. When
becoming warm, change the anti-freeze ratio
back to the standard ratio.

∎A concentration of less than 40:60(40%

anti-freeze) will not provide proper corrosion
protection.

WARNING

Removing the radiator cap may have the
coolant sprayed out to suffer burns while the
engine is hot.
