Section 1: Safe Riding
1-3 Safe Riding Rules:

1. Always do a pre-ride check before starting the scooter. This will aid in preventing
accidents and equipment damage.

2. Many accidents involve inexperienced/untrained riders. Many areas require you to have a
special license or certification. Make sure that you have the proper qualifications before
riding. NEVER let anyone who is not qualified operate your scooter.

3. Many accidents between scooters and cars occur because the driver of the car did not see
the scooter rider. Because of this, it is important to make your self as visible as possible,
by doing the following: Wearing bright and/or reflective clothing and avoiding the blind
spots, that are present in other vehicles.

4. Obey all local laws and regulations regarding the operation of your scooter. Also,
operating the scooter at speeds in excess of posted limits is the cause of many accidents.
Therefore, NEVER exceed the posted speed limits. This is the ONLY safe and legal way
to operate your scooter. Never ride faster than the conditions permit. If it is raining,
snowing, icy etc., slow down. Always use your turn signals, as this is usually the only
warning that other drivers have, before you make a turn.

5. Don't let yourself be surprised by other motorists. You can do this by using extra caution
at intersections, at the entrances and exits to parking lots and parking garages, and of
course, always ride with both hands and keep both feet on the foot rests or in the foot well
area.

1-3 Protective Clothes

1. Most motorcycle accident fatalities are due to head injuries. ALWAYS wear a helmet. You
should also wear a face shield and long pants and long sleeves to prevent other injuries, in
case of an accident.

2. The Exhaust system gets very hot during the course of a ride, and it will stay hot after the
scooter has been shut off, for quite a while. DO NOT TOUCH the exhaust system while it
is hot.

3. Do not wear clothing that is loose, as this could catch on control levers, the kick starter, or
other surfaces, which could cause dangerous handling and instability.

Keep the weight of any cargo as low and close to the center of gravity as possible, and load weight
equally on both sides, to reduce instability. A load that is high and away from the center of gravity is
dangerous and unstable.

The scooter can be made unstable by the shifting of a loose load. Make sure to check loads often and
verify that everything is tied down, and that the mountings are secure for any added cargo accessories.

Do not attach large or heavy items (such as a sleeping bag or tent) to the handlebars or front fender, as
this may cause unstable and/or slow steering.

*Accessories:

Genuine accessories designed by the manufacturer for your scooter have been designed and tested for
your scooter. Because the factory cannot test every accessory, you, the end user, are responsible for
proper selection, installation, and use of accessories not produced by the company. Always follow
guidelines set forth in the loading section, as well as the guidelines set forth below:

1. Carefully inspect the accessories that you install to make sure they do not: Block lights,
reduce ground clearance and/or turning angle, or limit the travel of suspension, steering or
controls operation.

2. Large fork mounted fairings or windshields, or poorly designed/improperly mounted
fairings can produce aerodynamic forces that cause unstable handling. Also do not install
any accessories that block airflow to the engine, or intake.

3. Make sure that your accessories do not inhibit your control of the bike, or inhibit your
ability to move freely. This could lower your reaction time in an emergency and cause a
serious accident.

4. Do not add electrical equipment that will exceed the scooter's electrical system capacity. A
Blown fuse could cause a dangerous loss of lighting or engine power.

5. This scooter was not designed to pull a side car or trailer. Operating the scooter while
pulling a side car or trailer may seriously impair the handling of the unit.

1-3 Retrofitting

** WARNING** : Retrofitting the scooter with aftermarket parts, or removing the factory parts
can be very dangerous or illegal, and may void your factory warranty. Obey all local laws and
regulations regarding the scooter and it's equipment.

1-3 Loading and Accessories

** WARNING** : To prevent accidents, take extreme care when selecting, and adding accessories
and cargo to your scooter. Improper loading or improper accessories can greatly reduce the
stability, and ride quality of the scooter. When selecting accessories, please factor tire, road, and
weather conditions. Following this advice will help you decide which accessories to use and how
to load your scooter as safely as possible.

*Loading:

Maximum Load: The front cargo area can hold up to 1.5 kg (3.30 lbs), the under-seat storage can hold
10 kg (21 lbs), and the rear cargo box can hold 5 kg (11.02 lbs) and 150 kg (330.69 lbs)

2-6 VIN Record

Please record your VIN and engine code in a safe, secure and private location, and keep it. This will
help when ordering parts, and also in recovering the scooter, in the event of theft. The VIN is
recorded in various locations throughout the scooter. The first location is below the front luggage box
(the glove box). There is a small plastic cover, about 4 inches long, and about 1.5 inches wide. It is
behind this. The second location for the VIN is the vehicle nameplate, which is on the left engine
hanger, near the back of the bike. It is a black aluminum plate, riveted to the frame. The Engine code
is stamped on the bottom left of the engine crankcase. This information is specific to your scooter.

2-7 Instruments and Indicators

2-8 Steering Lock:

When the ignition switch is at the lock position (as pictured above), the steering mechanism is locked,
and therefore cannot be turned from side to side. This makes the bike harder to steal. To use this
safety feature, turn the handlebars all the way to the left, and with the key in the ignition, turn the key
to the off position, then push the key inward, and turn the key counterclockwise (<==), until it
engages. This may take moving the handlebars around a bit. To deactivate the steering lock, simply
turn the key clockwise (==>) until it releases.

1. Speedometer – Shows the scooter's speed

2. Odometer – Shows the total number of miles that the scooter has traveled

3. Turn signal indicators – These flash when the turn signal is operated, indicating the
direction of an upcoming turn

4. Gas gauge – Shows the amount of fuel left in the tank.

5. High beam indicator – This will illuminate when the high beams are used.

Some special notes on the Gas gauge:

The gas gauge shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel tank. When the pointer is on the “F” (full), it's
indicating that the amount of fuel left in the tank, with reserve, is 6.8l (1.79 gallons ). When the
pointer gets to ¾ empty, it is indicating that you should stop for fuel as soon as possible. At this point,
there is roughly 1.2l (0.3 gallons) of fuel left. If you do not stop for fuel at this time, you WILL run
out very soon.

2-7 Ignition Switch:

These key position “ON”, which is illustrated above, means that the Lights and engine can be
operated, and the key cannot be removed. The “OFF” position, also illustrated above, indicates that
the lights and engine CANNOT be operated and the key CAN be removed.

2-8 Seat Cushion Lock and Under Seat Storage:

1. Under-seat storage area

2. Seat lock

3. Gas cap

The seat lock is located on the left side of the scooter, below the seat cushion. To open the under-seat
storage area, insert the key into the lock, and turn it clockwise, until the seat is released. To lock the
seat back again, simply lower the seat back down, and press until an audible “CLICK” is heard.

**CAUTION!**

• Before locking the seat cushion, make sure the key is NOT in the under-seat area.

• Since the Under-seat area is directly above the engine, it will become hot inside during use,

please do not put food, flammables, or pets in the under-seat area.
