Improperly maintaining your scooter or failing to cor-
rect 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.
5. Steering: Check for smooth operation in all steering posi-
tions (page 30).
6. Instruments: Make sure the speedometer, fuel level gauge
and indicator lights function (page 31).
7. Lights and horn: Check that headlight, tail/brake light, turn
signals, indicators and horn function properly (pages 31 & 32).
8. Chassis: Check for overall proper function (pages 32 & 33).
1. Engine oil level: Add engine oil if required (page 24). Check
for leaks.
2. Tires: Check condition and inflation pressure (pages 24 & 25).
3. Fuel level: Fill fuel tank when necessary (page 26). Check
for leaks.
4. Front and rear brakes: Check operation, making sure there
is proper free-play at the left lever
, and that there is brake
fluid in the front brake fluid reservoir (pages 27 through
30).
Performing pre-ride inspections does not take the place
of regular maintenance. Follow the maintenance sched-
ule recommendations on pages 42 - 44 of this manual.
After one month of use or 200 miles (300 km) of riding,
which ever occurs first, contact your KYMCO dealer to
perform an initial service on your scooter
.
This initial service is the most important service in the
life of your scooter, and includes checks and adjust-
ments that will help ensure that your scooter operates
efficiently and safely.
OPERATION
Pre-ride inspection (PRI)
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 im-
mediately, or have it corrected by your KYMCO dealer.
