SCOOTER SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your scooter can provide you 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 to avoid
accidents. Always ride with both hands on the handlebars.
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
Remember to perform an entire safety inspection to ensure
your and your passenger's safety before each ride.
Be extra cautious on bad weather days
Riding on bad weather days, especially wet ones, requires extra caution. Braking distances 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 you 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 to 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.
Brightly 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 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of riding are the most important in the life of your scooter. Proper break-in operation 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 special
care and restraint exercised 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 500 miles (800 km): ...............Less than 1/2 throttle
Up to 1000 miles (1,600 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. It is essential that some stress be placed
on these components during break-in to ensure this mating
process. Do not, however, apply excessive load on the scooter's
drive line.
Avoid constant low speed:
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 through the gears, without exceeding the
recommended throttle openings.
Avoid using full throttle for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km).
The initial service:
Observe your first and most critical service. The 600 mile (1,000
km) initial service is the most important service your scooter
will receive. 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 600 mile (1,000 km) initial service will ensure optimum service life and performance from
your scooter. Do not delay in having this service performed
once your scooter reaches this mileage.
29
Page 32
OPERATION
The 600 mile (1,600 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.
Breaking in the new tires
New tires need proper break-in to assure maximum performance, just as your scooter's engine does. Wear in the
tread surface by gradually increasing your cornering lean
angles over the first 100 miles (160 km) before attempting
maximum lean angles. Avoid hard acceleration, hard cornering, and hard braking for the first 100 miles (160 km).
Failure to break in your tires could cause the tires to
slip and could result in you 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).
30
Troubleshooting
It can be fustrating if your scooter fails to start or stops running while your are riding. In the rare instance this happens, take a few moments to check some items and you
may be back to riding your scooter soon.

OPERATION
Pre-ride inspection
For your safety, it is very important to take a few moments
before each ride to walk around your scooter and check its
condition. 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 can cause a crash in which
you 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 43). Check
for leaks.
2. Fuel level: Fill fuel tank when necessary (page 20). Check
for leaks.
3. Coolant level: Add coolant if required (pages 53).
4. Front and rear brakes: Check operation and make sure
there is no brake fluid leakage (pages 56 and 57).
5. Tires: Check condition and inflation (pages 60 - 62).
6. Throttle: Check for smooth operation and that it closes
fully in all steering positions (page 51).
7. Lights and horn: Check that headlight, tail/brake light, turn
signals, indicators and horn function properly (page 18).
8. Engine stop switch: Check for proper function (page 18).
9. Side stand safety interlock system: Check for proper function (page55).
10. Chassis: Check for overall proper function (page 62).
Performing pre-ride inspections does not take the place
of regular maintenance. Follow the maintenance schedule recommendations on pages 39 -41 of this manual.
After one month of use or 600 miles (1,000 km) of riding,
which ever occurs first, contact your KYMCO dealer to
have an initial service of your scooter performed.
This initial service is the most important service in the
life of your scooter and includes checks and adjustments that will help ensure that your scooter operates
efficiently and safely.

OPERATION
Star ting the engine
To start your Yager 200i scooter, follow the procedure listed on
the following pages.
NOTE: Before starting, check the engine oil and fuel levels. Place the scooter on the main stand and make sure to
put the side stand “UP”..
To prevent damage to the starter motor, do not operate
the starter motor for more than five seconds at a time. If
the scooter fails to start immediately, check the fuel level
and the battery condition, and allow the starter motor to
cool before attempting to start the engine again.
Do not press the starter button once the engine is running or the starter motor and engine can be damaged.
Your scooter's exhaust emits poisonous carbon monoxide gas. High levels of carbon monoxide can collect
rapidly in enclosed areas such as a garage. Do not run
the scooter's engine with the garage door closed. Even
with the door open, run the engine only long enough
to move your scooter out of the garage.
Once the scooter starts, the rear wheel may spin. To
avoid injury, keep your body and clothing away from
the rear wheel.
32
NOTE: Your scooter is equipped with a side stand safety
interlock feature. This prevents the engine from being
started if the side stand is down. A running engine will
shut off if the side stand is lowered.
1. Make sure the engine stop switch is at “
“ (RUN).
2. Turn the ignition switch to ““ (ON).
NOTE: The rear brake must be held for the starter motor
to engage the engine. It is normal for the stop light to be
illuminated during starting.

4. Press the starter button 2 without rotating the throttle grip.
Release the starter button as soon as the engine starts.
5. Keep the throttle 3 closed as the engine warms up.
6. Allow a cold engine to warm 2 - 3 minutes before riding.
Do not “BLIP” the throttle (opening and closing it
rapidly) as the scooter can lunge forward suddenly.
Do not leave your scooter unattended while the engine is warming up.
NOTE: If the scooter’s engine is warm and does not start
immediately, rotate the throttle grip 1/8 to 1/4 open to help
the engine start.
33
Page 36
OPERATION
Ignition cutoff feature
Your Yager 200i is equipped with a safety feature that will turn
off the ignition and the fuel pump to stop the engine if the scooter
is tipped over.
The angle detection sensor of this system must be reset once
the scooter is righted or the engine will not restart. Before restarting the engine, you must turn the ignition switch to the
“OFF” position and then back to “ON”. You can then start the
scooter normally.
Riding your scooter
NOTE: After starting, allow the engine oil to circulate before riding your scooter. Allow sufficient idling time after
warm or cold engine start-up before applying load or revving the engine. This allows time for the lubricating oil to
reach all the critical engine components.
NOTE: Review the scooter safety recommendations on
pages 3 and 4 before you ride.
Make sure flammable materials such as dry grass or
leaves do not come in contact with the exhaust system
when riding, idling, or parking your scooter
.
1. Make sure the throttle is closed and the rear brake brake is
engaged before moving the scooter off the main stand.
34
2. Mount the scooter from the left side and sit on the seat
upright. Place both hands on the handlebars and touch the
ground with your left foot for stability.
Page 37
OPERATION
Before riding off, use the scooter’s turn signals to signal
your intention to merge into traffic. Always scan around
you and in 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.
3. Release the rear brake and slowly rotate the throttle grip so
the engine power will be transmitted to the rear wheel
smoothly.

4. Control the scooter’s speed with the throttle grip.
Rotating the grip towards you 1 will increase the scooter’s
speed.
Rotating the grip away from you 2 will decrease the
scooter’s speed.
Both the front and rear brakes should be applied together, as independent use of only the front or rear brake
reduces stopping performance.
Excessive brake application may cause either wheel to
lock, reducing your ability to control your scooter.
35
Page 38
OPERATION
6. When approaching a corner or a turn,
close the throttle fully and slow the
scooter down by applying both the front
and rear brakes at the same time.
NOTE: At certain speeds your scooter will turn more
effectivly by leaning your body, rather than by applying
pressure on the handlebars. Practice steering in an open
area free of traffic until you are familiar with the handling
charteristics of your scooter.
7. After completing the turn, open the
throttle gradulally to accelerate the
scooter.
8. When descending a steep grade, close the throttle fully
and apply both brakes to slow the scooter. Avoid continus
use of the brakes, which may result in brake component
overheating and reduced braking efficency.
36
9. When riding on wet or loose surfaces, be especailly cautious.
Reduce your speed when riding your scooter in the rain.
Wet road surfaces reduce tire grip and greatly increase
the distance required for safe braking. Wet surfaces also
reduce tire grip during cornering. Reduced tire grip will
make it more difficult to control your scooter and may result in an accident.
When riding downhill, decrease the throttle opening and
use intermittent braking to control the vehicle’s speed.
Reduce your speed when riding on uneven or loose road
surfaces. Keep the scooter as upright as possible, ride
at a slower speed and allow for extra stopping distance.
Use extreme caution when riding over slippery surfaces
such as railroad tracks, iron plates, manhole covers,
painted lines, gravel, etc.
Failure to take appropriate precautions may result in an
accident.
Page 39
OPERATION
Parking your scooter
Use the following procedure and suggestions when parking
your scooter.
1. Turn off the ignition switch and place the scooter on level
ground.
2. Stand on the left side of the scooter and grasp the handlebar with your left hand while grasping the side of the rear
rack with your right hand. Step down on the foot pad of the
main stand with your foot while pulling up and back on the
rear rack. This lifting motion will allow the scooter to rock
backwards and up onto the main stand.
Do not park your scooter in a place that hinders traffic,
or that is unsafe to you or others.
The scooter may fall over if it is not parked on level
ground.
Make sure flammable materials such as dry grass or
leaves do not come in contact with the exhaust system
when parking your scooter.
Lock the handlebars of your scooter (see page 10) to
reduce the risk of theft.
A hot muffler can burn you. Your scooter ’s muffler will
be hot engough to burn you for some time after stopping the engine. Park your scooter where pedestrians
and children are not likley to touch the muffler.

SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE
The importance 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.
38
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 colorless and
odorless gas that can cause death or severe injury. Operate the engine only where there is adequate ventilation, preferably outdoors.
Page 41
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance schedule
Perform the pre-ride inspection (see page 31) at each scheduled maintenance period. This interval should be judged by
odometer reading or months, whichever comes first.

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).
Recommended spark plug
Spark plug type:DPR6EA-9
Spark plug gap:0.024 - 0.028 in
(0.6 - 0.7 mm)
Engine idle speed
The engine idle speed of your Yager 200i is automatically
adjusted by the scooter’s fuel injection system. If the idle
speed varies of becomes too high or too low, take your
scooter to you KYMCO dealer for service.

NOTE: If the reserve tank is empty, or if coolant loss is
excessive during use, check for leaks, and see your
KYMCO dealer immediately for repair.
Coolant should only be replaced by your KYMCO dealer.
Add coolant to the reserve tank only. Do not attempt to
add coolant by removing the radiator cap. Coolant in
the radiator is under pressure and is very hot and can
cause serious burns.

Coolant replacement
The coolant in your scooter should be replaced by a KYMCO
dealer, unless you have the proper tools, access to service
data, and are technically qualified.
NOTE: Always add coolant to the reserve tank. Do not
attempt to add coolant by removing the radiator cap.
Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can
cause the coolant to spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before
removing the radiator cap.
Coolant recommendation
It is your responsibility to have your scooter serviced so it has
the proper type and amount of coolant in the cooling system
and engine. The coolant must be in good condition and have
the proper ratio of antifreeze and distilled water to prevent
freezing, overheating, and corrosion. When servicing the coolant, you should arrange to use only high quality ethylene glycol antifreeze that contains corrosion protection inhibitors specifically formulated for use in aluminum engines (see the antifreeze container label).
Use only low-mineral drinking water or distilled water
as a part of the antifreeze solution. Water that is high in
mineral content or salt may be harmful to the aluminum
engine. Using coolant with silicate inhibitors may cause
premature wear of water pump seals or blockage of radiator passages. Using tap water can cause engine damage.
If you are using your scooter in an environment where
it will encounter freezing temperatures, you should have
a higher concentration of antifreeze installed by your
KYMCO dealer to provide additional protection against
freezing the engine. This higher concentration should
not exceed 60% antifreeze -to -distilled water.
During warmer times, bring the antifreeze ratio back to
the standard ratio. A concentration of less than 40:60
(40% antifreeze) will not provide proper corrosion protection.
A 50:50 solution of antifreeze and distilled water is required for
the cooling system of your scooter. This coolant solution is
recommended for most operating temperatures and provides
good corrosion protection.

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 the tires to slip and lose control.
Use extra care when riding on new tires, as the grip
will be limited. Perform proper break-in of the tires, as
stated in the break-in recommendation section of this
manual. Avoid hard acceleration, hard cornering, and
hard braking for the first 100 miles (160 km).
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 it also affects the stability of your scooter. Underinflated tires make smooth cornering difficult, 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.
The condition of your scooter’s tires is vital for operational efficiency and your safety. Check the tires’ inflation pressure,
the tread depth, and look for damage before each ride.
1. Measure and adjust the tire pressure when the tires are
touching the ground (with no one seated on the scooter).
NOTE: Measure the pressure before riding, as the heat
generated during operation may cause improper readings.
Do not inflate the tires beyond 35.0 PSI ( 2.5 kg/cm

REAR 140/70 - 12 TUBELESS
NOTE: Be sure to balance the wheel after repairing or replacing a tire. Proper wheel balance is essential to maintain tire grip to the road and to avoid uneven tire wear.
The tires on your scooter must be replaced if they:
Leak air (even at a slow rate)
Have any damage on the tread or side wall areas
Have been damaged by intrusion of objects, such as a nail
Are worn as evidenced by the wear indicators
Failure to replace a tire in poor condition will cause an
unsafe riding condition on your scooter. Replace worn or
damaged tires immediately for your and your passenger’s,
safety.
Consult your KYMCO dealer for replacement tire service.

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 the 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.
63
Page 66
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.
64
Windshield cleaning
Use plenty of water, clean with windshield with a soft cloth or
sponge (avoid using detergents or any kind of chemical
cleaner). Dry with a soft, clean cloth.
Removing road salt
The salt used in some areas 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 63). 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.
