(6) STEERING HANDLEBAR
Periodically inspect the condition of the steering
handlebar. Worn out or loose steering bearings may be
dangerous. Move the handlebar upward and downward
to check for abnormal noise. Move the steering
handlebar rightward and leftward to check for any loose
parts. Check if the handlebar rotates freely. If any
abnormal condition is found, ask a KYMCO dealer to
inspect and adjust the steering.
(7) INSTRUMENT LIGHTS INSPECTION

Check the turn signal indicator lights and high beam
indicator light for proper operation.
Check the speedometer for proper operation.
Check the fuel gauge for proper operation.
Check the low engine oil lever indicator light for proper
operation.
NOTE: When turning on the ignition key, the
indicator of speedometer can be running
automatically from zero to top speed and then back to
zero. The function is just checking the performance of
speedometer unit.
27

(8) BRAKE FLUID LEVEL INSPECTION
Insufficient brake fluid may let air enter the brake
system, possibly causing the brakes to become
ineffective. Before riding, check that the brake fluid is
above the lower level and replenish when necessary.
Observe these precautions
When checking the fluid level, make sure the top of
the master cylinder is level by turning the
handlebars.
Use only the designated quality brake fluid.
Otherwise, the rubber seals may deteriorate, Lower level
causing leakage and poor brake performance.
Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mixing fluids
may result in a harmful chemical reaction and lead to
poor brake performance.
Be careful that water doesn’t enter the master
cylinder when refilling. Water will significantly lower
the boiling point of the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
Recommended brake fluid:
DOT 4
28

(9) BRAKE PAD WEAR
Brake pad wear depends upon the severity of usage, the
type of riding, and road conditions. (Generally, the pads
will wear faster on wet and dirty roads.)
Inspect the pads at each regular maintenance interval
(page 39).
Front/Rear Brake
Check the wear indicator mark on each pad. If either
pad is worn to the wear indicator mark, replace both
pads as a set. See your authorized KYMCO dealer for <Front Brake> Wear indicator mark
this service.
<Rear Brake>

(10) LIGHTS INSPECTION
Turn on the ignition switch.
Headlight/Taillight Inspection:
Starting the engine to check if the headlight and
taillight are good and the light shells for dirt and
damage.
Stoplight Inspection:
Apply the front and rear brake levers respectively to
check if the stoplight is good. And also check the
stoplight shell for dirt and damage.
Turn Signal Light Inspection:

Operate the turn signal switch to make sure whether
the right/left front and rear turn signal lights can wink
and buzz. Also check the light shells for dirt and
damage.

6. RIDING
Make sure the throttle is closed and the rear brake
lever is applied.
NOTE:
Review scooter safety (page 1 ~ 2) before you
The rear wheel must be locked when moving the
scooter off the center stand. Otherwise loss of
control may result.
Rear brake lever
Stand on the left side of the scooter and push it

forward and off the center stand.
33

Mount the scooter from the left side keeping at least
one foot on the ground to steady the scooter.
4 Before starting off, indicate your direction with the

turn signals, and check for safe traffic conditions.
Grasp the handlebars firmly with both hands.
CAUTION
Never attempt one-handed operation; loss of
vehicle control could result.
34

5 To accelerate, open the throttle gradually; the
scooter will move forward.
6 To decelerate, close throttle.
OPEN CLOSED
7 When slowing down the scooter, coodination of the

throttle and front and rear brakes is most important.
CAUTION
Both front and rear brakes should be applied
together. Independent use of only the front or rear
brake reduces stopping performance. Excessive
brake application may cause either wheel to lock,
reducing control of the scooter.
Front brake Rear brake
35

8 When approaching a corner or turn, close the throttle
fully, and slow the scooter down by applying both
front and rear brakes at the same time.
9 After completing the turn, open the throttle gradually
to accelerate the scooter.
10 When riding on wet or loose surfaces, be especially

cautions.
CAUTION
When riding in wet or rainy conditions or on loose
surfaces, the ability to maneuver and stop will be
reduced.
36

7. PARKING
After stopping the scooter turn the ignition switch to
the position and remove the key.
Use the center stand to support the scooter while
parked.
CAUTION
Park the scooter on firm, level ground to prevent it
from falling over.
Lock the steering to prevent theft. ( page 8~9 )
CAUTION
Always lock the steering and never leave the key in
the ignition switch. This sounds simple but people
forget easily.
37

8. MAINTENANCE
The Required Maintenance Schedule specifies how often you should have your scooter served, and what
things need attention. It is essential that your scooter be served as scheduled to retain its high level of safety,
dependability, and emission control performance.
These instructions are based on the assumption that the 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 authorized KYMCO dealer
for recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use.
CAUTION
If your scooter is overturned or involved in a collision, inspect control levers and cables, brake
hoses, calipers, accessories and other vital parts for damage. Don’t ride the scooter if damage
impairs safe operation. Have your authorized KYMCO dealer inspect the major components
including frame, suspension, and steering parts for misalignment and damage that you may not be
able to detect.
Stop the engine and support the scooter securely on a firm, level surface before performing any
maintenance.
Use new, genuine KYMCO parts or their equivalent for maintenance and repair. Parts which are not of
equivalent quality may impair the safety of your scooter.

SPARK PLUG
Recommended plugs:
Standard:
DPR7EA-9 (NGK)
Clean any dirt from around the spark plug base.
Remove the spark plug using the plug wrench
furnished in the tool kit.
Inspect the electrodes and center porcelain for
deposits, erosion or carbon fouling. If the erosion or
deposit is heavy, replace the plug. Clean a carbon or
wet fouled plug with a plug cleaner, otherwise use a
wire brush.
Check the spark plug gap using a wire-type feeler Side electrode
gauge. If adjustment is necessary, bend the side
electrode carefully.
The gap should be:
0.60 ─ 0.70 mm (0.024 ─ 0.028 in)
Make sure the plug washer is in good condition.
4 With the plug washer attached, thread the spark plug
in by hand to prevent cross-threading.

BATTERY
It is not necessary to check the battery electrolyte level
or add distilled water as the battery is a maintenance-
free (sealed) type. If your battery seems weak and/or is
leaking electrolyte (causing hard starting or other
electrical troubles), contact your authorized KYMCO
dealer.
CAUTION
Removing the battery cap strip can damage the
cap strip and result in leaks and eventual battery
damage. Screw Battery box cover
When the scooter is to be stored for an extended
period of time, remove the battery from the
scooter and charge it fully. Then store it in a cool, 4
dry place. If the battery is to be left in the scooter,
disconnect the negative cable from the battery
terminal.
Battery removal:

FUSE REPLACEMENT
When frequent fuse failure occurs, it usually indicates a
short circuit or an overload in the electrical system. See
your authorized KYMCO dealer for repair.
CAUTION
Turn the ignition switch OFF before checking or
replacing fuses to prevent accidental short-
circuiting.
Never use a fuse with a different rating from that
specified. Serious damage to the electrical
system or a fire may result, causing a dangerous
loss of lights or engine power.
