PRI - Front brake pad wear inspection
Visually inspect the front brake pads on your scooter for wear.
The pads’ surface has grooves that will indicate the amount of
life left in each pad. If the grooves are visible, there is ad-
equate brake pad material. If the grooves are no longer visible,
or their depth is severely reduced, the pads require replacement.
PRI - Rear brake inspection
The left brake lever on your People S scooter controls the rear
mechanical, drum-style brake. Before riding, you should in-
spect the rear brake shoe wear and the brake lever play.
Brake shoe wear inspection:
1. The rear drum brake is equipped with a brake show wear
indicator. When the brake is applied, an arrow on the brake
arm 1 moves towards reference marks 2 on the brake hub.
As the brake pads wear, the brake fluid level drops as
the hydraulic system automatically compensates for the
wear. The brake fluid level must be inspected at the
same time you inspect the brake pads for wear.
If the wear indicator grooves in the front brake pads
are no longer visible, it is an indication that the brake
pads are worn and require replacement. Consult your
KYMCO dealer for any brake-related service.
NOTE: Your scooter’s brake system components may differ slightly
in appearance from the images in this manual.
Prolonged and repetitive use of the vehicle’s hydraulic
brakes for high speed stops will cause overheating of
the brake fluid and premature brake pad wear, which
can cause unexpected loss of braking ability.
