Be a Responsible Owner
As the vehicle's owner, you are responsible for the
safe and proper operation of your vehicle.
The safe use and operation are dependent upon the
use of proper riding techniques as well as the exper-
tise of the operator. Every operator should know the
following requirements before riding this vehicle.
He or she should:
● Obtain thorough instructions from a competent
source on all aspects of vehicle operation.
● Observe the warnings and maintenance require-
ments in this Owner’s Manual.
● Obtain qualified training in safe and proper riding
techniques.
● Obtain professional technical service as indicated
in this Owner´s Manual and/or when made neces-
sary by mechanical conditions.
Safe Riding
Perform the pre-operation checks each time you
use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe operating
condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle
properly increases the possibility of an accident or
equipment damage. See the list of pre-operation
checks.
SAFETY INFORMATION
3 - 4
● This vehicle is designed to carry the operator and
a passenger.
● The failure of motorists to detect and recognize
vehicles in traffic is the predominating cause of
automobile/vehicle accidents. Many accidents have
been caused by an automobile driver who did not
see the vehicle. Making yourself prominent appears
to be very effective in reducing the chance of this
type of accident. Therefore:
• Wear a brightly colored jacket.
• Use extra caution when you are approaching
and passing through intersections, since intersec-
tions are the most likely places for vehicle accidents
to occur.
• Ride where other motorists can see you. Avoid
riding in another motorist’s blind spot.
● Many accidents involve inexperienced operators.
In fact, many operators who have been involved in
accidents do not even have a current driver´s
license.
• Make sure that you are qualified and that you only
lend your vehicle to other qualified operators.
• Know your skills and limits.
Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an
accident.
• We recommend that you practice riding your vehi-
cle where there is no traffic until you have become
thoroughly familiar with the vehicle and all of its con-
trols.
● Many accidents have been caused by error of the
vehicle operator. A typical error made by the operator
is veering wide on a turn due to excessive speed or
under-cornering (insufficient lean angle for the
speed).
• Always obey the speed limit and never travel faster
than the legal speed limit.
• Always signal before turning or changing lanes.
Make sure that other motorists can see you.
● The posture of the operator and passenger is
important for proper control.
• The operator should keep both hands on the han-
dlebar and both feet on the operator footrests during
operation to maintain control of the vehicle.
• The passenger should always hold onto the opera-
tor, the seat strap or grab bar, if equipped, with both
hands and keep both feet on the passenger foot-
rests. Never carry a passenger unless he or she can
firmly place both feet on the passenger footrests.
● Never ride under the influence of alcohol or other
drugs.
● This vehicle is designed for on-road use only. It is
not suitable for off-road use.
Protective apparel
The majority of fatalities from vehicle accidents are
the result of head injuries. The use of a safety helmet
is the most critical factor in the prevention or reduc-
tion of head injuries.
● Always wear an approved helmet.
● Wear a face shield or goggles.
Wind in your unprotected eyes could contribute to an
impairment of vision that could delay seeing a
hazard.
● The use of a jacket, substantial shoes, trousers,
gloves, etc., is effective in preventing or reducing
abrasions or lacerations.
● Never wear loose-fitting clothes, otherwise they
could catch on the control levers or wheels and
cause injury or an accident.
● A passenger should also observe the above pre-
cautions.
Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning.
All engine exhaust contains carbon-monoxide, a
deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause
headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea confu-
sion, and eventually death.
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless
gas which may be present even if you do not see or
smell any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can collect rapidly and you can quickly be
overcome and unable to save yourself. Also, deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can linger for hours or

5 - 6
days in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. If you
experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poi-
soning, leave the area immediately, get fresh air, and
seek medical treatment.
● Do not run engine indoors. Even if you try to venti-
late engine exhaust with fans or open windows and
doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach danger-
ous levels.
● Do not run engine in poorly ventilated or partially
enclosed areas such as barns, garages.
● Do not run engine outdoors where engine exhaust
can be drawn into a building through openings such
as windows and doors.
Further safe-riding points
● Be sure to signal clearly when making turns.
● Braking can be extremely difficult on a wet road.
Avoid hard braking, because the vehicle could slide.
Apply the brakes slowly when stopping on a wet sur-
face.
● Slow down as you approach a corner or turn. Once
you have completed a turn, accelerate slowly.
● Be careful when passing parked cars. A driver
might not see you and open a door in your path.
● Railroad crossings, streetcar rails, iron plates on
road construction sites,and manhole covers become
extremely slippery when wet. Slow down and cross
them with caution. Keep the vehicle upright, other-
wise it could slide out .
● The brake pads could get wet when you wash the
vehicle. After washing the vehicle, check the brakes
before riding.
● Always wear a helmet, gloves, trousers (tapered
around the cuff and ankle so they do not flap), and a
bright colored jacket.
● Do not carry too much luggage on the vehicle. An
overloaded vehicle is unstable. Use a strong cord to
secure any luggage to the carrier (if equipped). A
loose load will affect the stability of the vehicle and
could divert your attention from the road.
● Do not overload the rear carrier, the glove box or
the underseat storage box.
Always wear protective clothing that covers your
legs, ankles, and feet. The engine or exhaust sys-
tem become very hot during or after operation and
can cause burns. Let the engine and exhaust system
cool before touching it.

The spark plug is an important engine component,
which should be checked periodically, preferably by
a dealer. Since heat and deposits will cause any
spark plug to slowly erode, it should be removed and
checked in accordance with periodic maintenance. In
addition, the condition of the spark plug can reveal
the condition of the engine.
The porcelain insulator around the center electrode
of the spark plug should be a medium-to-light tan
(the ideal color when the vehicle is ridden normally).
If the spark plug shows a distinctly different color, the
engine could be operating improperly. Do not attempt
to diagnose such problems yourself. Instead, have a
dealer check the vehicle.
If the spark plug shows signs of electrode erosion
and excessive carbon or other deposits, it should be
replaced.
Before installing a new spark plug, the spark plug
gap should be measured with a thickness gauge
and, if necessary, adjusted to specification.
Clean the surface of the spark plug gasket and its
mating surface, and then wipe off any grime from
the spark plug threads.
CHECKING THE SPARK PLUG
The engine oil level should be checked before each
ride. In addition, the oil must be changed at the inter-
vals specified in the periodic maintenance and lubri-
cation chart.
ENGINE OIL
1. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes,
and then turn it off.
TO CHECK THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
1. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes,
and then turn it off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine to collect the
used oil.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap and the engine oil
drain bolt to drain the oil from the crankcase.
4. Install the o-ring, screen, spring and the engine oil
drain bolt, and then tighten the drain bolt to the spec-
ified torque.
5. Refill with the specified amount of the recom-
mended engine oil, and then install and tighten the
oil filler cap.

CHECKING THE BATTERY
WARNING
!
The battery will produce explosive gas, beware of
using open flames or sparks near the battery. Your
battery is sealed and should not be opened at any
time. The battery contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte)
which can cause eye damage or skin burns.
Your battery is prefilled and activated from your
dealer. There is no need to add electrolyte, your bat-
tery is sealed and should not be opened for any
reason. Have a dealer charge the battery as soon as
possible if it seems to have discharged. Keep in
mind that the battery tends to discharge more quickly
if the vehicle is equipped with optional electrical
accessories.

STORAGE
Always store your vehicle in a cool, dry place and, if
necessary, protect it against dust with a porous
cover.
Remove the fill/oil level check bolt to check the final
drive fluid level, if full, oil should just barely leak from
the hole, if no fluid leaks out, fill the case with GL-5
85/90 hypoid gear oil until the level reaches the oil
level check hole and begins to leak out. DO NOT
lose the sealing washer or it will leak.
The final drive fluid should be checked and changed
at the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
See image on opposite page for details.
Short-term
Long-term
Inflation pressure and tire tread should be regularly
checked. In order to ensure maximum safety and
longer service life, inflation pressure requires more
frequent routine check.
Tire Pressure
Insufficient tire pressure will not only accelerate
wear, but also will have a bad impact on driving sta-
bility such as making turning difficult. However, too
much pressure will reduce the contact area between
the tire and ground, thus causing slipping or even
getting out of control. Tire pressure should be kept in

the standard range. Adjust the tire pressure under a
"cold" condition.

Before storing your vehicle for several months:
1. Change the engine oil.
2. Drain the fuel from the fuel tank. Reinstall the fuel
tank cap.
3. Remove the spark plug and add one teaspoon of
(15~20cm3) clean engine oil to the cylinder, then
reinstall the spark plug again.
4. Remove the battery. Keep the battery in a cool
place which can avoid freezing and direct sunlight.
Charge the battery or examine the electrolyte level (if
equipped with lead-acid battery) often.
5. Clean and dry the vehicle. Wax the surface of the
paint.
6. Inflate tires to the required pressure. Put the vehi-
cle on a stand to keep the tires off the ground.
7. Cover the vehicle (no plastic or coating material)
and keep it in a place of consistent temperature and
low humidity. Do not keep your vehicle under direct
sunlight.
To use the vehicle after storage:
1. Remove the cover and clean the vehicle. Change
the engine oil if you stored your vehicle for more
than four months.
2. Examine the electrolyte level and charge as
needed. Install the battery.
3. Wash away the anti-rust agent in fuel tank (if
applied), and add fresh gasoline into the fuel tank.
