Motorcycle Safety Guidelines
Safe Driving Rules
1. The vehicle shall be checked before driving, to prevent any acci-
dents or damage to the vehicle.

2. The scooter should be ridden only by a rider who has
passed the required rider safety course and has obtained an
applicable driving license. The vehicle should not be operated
by any person(s) not in possession of an applicable driving
license.
3. The driver should be as visible as possible to prevent any
accidents caused by other vehicles, follow these rules:
• Dress with bright ght-ng clothes;
• DO NOT follow other vehicles closely.
4. Strictly follow the trac regulaons, DO NOT try to cut in
and out of trac or race.
5. Do not exceed the recommended speed limit, which is the
cause for many trac accidents.
6. The turn signals shall be turned on when making a turn or
changing lanes, so as to aract other people’s aenon.
7. The driver should pay special aenon when approaching
intersecons, to the entry and exit of parking lots, and on the
freeway.
8. Please drive with both hands, driving with a single hand is
extremely dangerous. The passenger shall grasp the safety rail
or clasp the driver, with feet placed on the footrests.
9. Your safety cannot be ensured if there is any modicaon
to your scooter or disassembly of original ngs, which will
impact the warranty.
10. Any accessory equipped shall not aect the safety and per-
formance of the scooter. Overloading of the electrical system
is especially dangerous.
Wear a Safety Helmet
The helmet is the most important piece of motorcycle/scooter
safety equipment. Be sure to purchase a helmet that meets at
least the minimum DOT regulaons and wear it at all mes when
riding.
Dress when Driving
Your riding gear should be comfortable and highly visible. The
cus should be buckled before driving, to prevent your sleeve be-
coming caught on the brake lever. For driving safety, please wear
shoes with at heels.
Notes on Rainy-day Driving
Drive with cauon on slippery roads and on rainy days, because
the braking distance of the vehicle on a wet road is at least twice
as that of on a dry road. Please avoid riding on marked road paint,
manhole covers, and surfaces with greasy dirt, to avoid skidding.
Take special care when going through railway crossings, railings
and bridges. Reduce your speed when you fail to verify the road
condions ahead visually.
Loading
If any loads placed on the scooter change how the steering play
in the handlebars feels, remove said load or move it to a dier-
ent locaon. Overloading may cause accidents or damage to the
scooter, please make sure the following:
Warning

• The max. load of front loading box is: 3.3 lbs.;
• The max. load of rear luggage rack is: 6.6 lbs.;
• The max. load of helmet container is: 22 lbs.;

ing.
Aenon:
The load of the helmet container shall NOT
exceed 22 lbs. DO NOT put goods, food with low
heat-resistance, or inammable items into the con-
tainer, due to the high temperature of engine. Do NOT
put valuables into the box. When cleaning the motor-
cycle, water may go in, take great care if there are any
important arcles inside. The jaw of helmet (open-
face helmet) should be placed downward inside the
container.
Aenon:
The load of the front storage box shall NOT
exceed 3.3 lbs. DO NOT put valuables into the box.
When cleaning the motorcycle, water may go in, take
great care if there are any important arcles inside.
Remove valuables from the box when parking.

(4) Brake Pads
The brake pads shall be
inspected periodically to
check if the wear reaches
the wear limit.
If it reaches, the brake
pads shall be replaced immediately to ensure opmized brake
performance. If the brake system or brake pads require repair, we
advise you ask your local dealership for service. Your scooter u-
lizes a high pressure hydraulic brake system for braking. To ensure
proper safety, the hydraulic brake lines should be replaced every 4
years, and the brake uid should be replaced every 2 years. Do not
ride immediately aer replacing the brake pads. First squeeze the
front brake lever several mes to restore proper braking pressure
and to fully push the brake pistons into their normal posion. Also,
when riding the rst me aer replacing the brake pads apply the
brakes a few mes at low speeds to opmize brake performance.
2.Fuel Check and Filling
Ensure the fuel quanty in the fuel tank is sucient for driving the
miles planned.
When the fuel gauge reaches the nal bar it will begin blinking
and it will light the amber low fuel warning light in the center of
the gauge cluster. When this happens approximately 0.5 gallons
of fuel remain in the fuel tank. When refueling use #91 octane
for opmum engine performance and service life of the engine.
Low octane fuels will cause damage to the engine or could lead to
engine failure.
“Free Play” refers to a travel distance of the end of brake
handle. The brake handle should be provided with proper free
play and operated smoothly with instant response.
(2) Check if the brake works normally
When driving on a dry road surface, reduce your speed, to
check if the front and rear brake systems work well. It should
be adjusted accordingly to make sure of opmized perfor-
mance.
(3) Brake Fluid
DOT 4 Brake uid is used for this motorcycle. Only use brake
uid from a sealed container when topping o or replacing
the brake uid. Brake uid from an open container may absorb
atmospheric moisture which will cause the premature break
down of the brake uid. Take care not to spill brake uid on
plasc or painted surfaces as it can damage them.
Use cauon when checking the level of
brake uid in the master cylinder. If the
level is lower than the limit ①, the
brake uid shall be relled to the upper
limit. When the brake pads are worn,
the liquid in the master cylinder will
automacally feed into the brake line
which will reduce the level.

3. Check and Replacement of Engine Oil
Using a high quality engine oil and replacing it frequently are
vital to the long term performance and durability of the en-
gine. The engine oil level should be checked prior to vehicle
use each day and should be maintained at the upper dipsck
mark between preventave maintenance inspecons.
Warning:
The engine should be turned o, ignion switch in
the o posion, and away from heat sources and re during
refueling.
Use cauon not to overll the fuel tank when relling. DO
NOT ll the fuel level in the fuel tank above the ller neck.
Start the engine and allow it to idle for a few minutes to warm up
the engine oil, then turn o the engine and allow it to sit for one
minute:
① Place the scooter on the center stand, remove the dipsck and
wipe it using a clean rag.
② Reinsert the dipsck (DO NOT screw it in)
③ Remove the dipsck and check the oil level on the dipsck,
rell the engine if the level is below the upper level mark.
④ During the break-in period, the engine oil should be changed
at 200mi, 400mi, 600mi and 1000mi aer this period, you should
change it every 2000mi.
⑤ The oil volume is 1.4 L, and 1.3L when replacing.
⑥ The oil volume shall not fall below the lower limit on the dip-
sck.
⑦ Driving on dusty roads, cold environments and places with
poor trac condions, may cause the degradaon of the engine
oil. Please replace more frequently if used in these condions.
⑧ Please use a high quality oil with high purity and perfor-
mance which complies with SF grade or super grade. The type is
SAE10W/40.
Aenon:
The oil level should be checked frequently during use,
please rell in a mely fashion if the oil level is low. The oil level
will be inaccurate if checked while the scooter is on an incline or
other uneven surface. Only check the engine oil when the engine
has been shut o and take care not to get burned by the hot en-
gine surfaces.

The oil replacement procedure is as follows: (the replacement
should be performed aer the engine has warmed up)
(1) Support the scooter using the center stand on level ground;
(2) Remove the engine oil dipsck once the engine has been
shut o;
(3) Place an oil pan below the engine oil drain bolt;
(4) Remove the engine oil drain bolt and completely drain the
oil;
(5) Reinstall the oil drain bolt and ghten;
(6) Fill the engine with new oil of the proper specicaon and
place the dipsck into the ller hole. Remove the dipsck and
check the oil level, if sucient install the dipsck and screw it
in;
(7) Start the engine and let it run for 2-3 minutes at dierent
speeds and verify no oil leaks are present;
(8) Turn o the engine and wait 1 minute, remove the dipsck
and verify the oil is at the upper mark, if not add oil unl the
level is correct.
4. Steering Stem Bearing Adjustment Inspecon
Place the unit on the center stand and have someone sit on
the passenger seat to li the front wheel o the ground.
Check the steering by turning the handlebars from le to right,
and right to le.
Check if the steering is too ght or too loose, check for clunk-
ing by liing the front wheel slowly.
If an abnormality is detected contact your local dealership for
repair.
5. Brake Lamp Inspecon
Turn the ignion switch to “ ” posion. Apply the front and
rear brakes respecvely to make sure the brake lamp will light up.
Check if the brake lamp cover is dirty or damaged.
6. Turn Signal Inspecon
Turn the ignion switch to “ ” posion. Operate the turn signal
switch to conrm if the le and right turn signal lamps work and
the steering indicator blinks. Check if the lamp cover is damaged
or dirty.
7. Check the Headlight, Taillight and Headlight High Beam
Aer the engine is started, conrm that the lights come on and
that the headlight high beam can be acvated. Check if the light
covers are damaged or dirty.
Special Aenon
The valve clearance should be checked and adjusted
when the inial mileage reaches 200mi. The nal drive oil
doesn’t need to be changed oen, it should be changed every
year or every 3,000mi of use whichever comes rst. However,
the cleanliness of the oil should be checked frequently. The oil
level should also be checked frequently and topped o when
low between replacement.

8. Tire Pressure Check
Check the pressure of the front and rear res.
Normal pressure (single rider):
Front wheel: 36 ±1 psi;
Rear wheel: 36 ±1 psi.
Check if any metal fragments
or broken stones are caught in the
re grooves, if observed,
please remove them before driving.
When re cracks or the re wear reaches the limit, please re-
place the re(s) with new. An abnormally worn re is extreme-
ly easy to cause accidents.
9. Front and Rear Suspension Check
Sit on the scooter and apply the front brake, push the scooter
forward to compress the front suspension. Keep applying the
front brake and sit in the saddle abruptly from a standing posi-
on to compress the rear suspension to check if the front and

appropriate, you should be able to clearly see objects behind
you, and check if the mirrors are damaged or contaminated.
13. License Plate Check
Check if the license plate is damaged or loose.
14. Exhaust Check
Check if the exhaust pipe is loose or if it is making excessive
noise.
15. Check if the Previous Abnormality is Eliminated
16. Cooling Liquid Check and Supply

Coolant is crical to your liquid cooled scooter engine. If
there is no coolant in the engine during operaon it may
cause sever damage to the engine. The piston, cylinder and
cylinder head could all become damaged if the engine is
run without coolant. Therefore, the coolant level should be
checked prior to use. If low, add coolant and bring the level
up to the proper level. The coolant is green and can be ob-
served by looking through the leg shield vent on the le hand
side. Add coolant when the level is at or below the MIN mark.
To add coolant: support your scooter on the center stand,
open the glove box and remove the le inspecon cover,
remove the coolant ller cover from the top le of the leg
shield. Rotate the cap (2) counterclockwise to remove it and
using a funnel add coolant to the cooling system observing
the coolant level (1) unl it reaches the MAX mark.
Starng your Scooter
Warning:
When the scooter engine is warm, DO NOT remove
the radiator cap, the coolant temperature is sll very high
and it will spray out under pressure and can cause burns
if done so. Wait unl the engine has cooled to check/add
coolant to the cooling system. .
1. The fuel, engine oil, and coolant levels should be checked prior
to the engine being started and the fuel quanty should be suf-
cient to sasfy the driven mileage planned. The engine oil and
coolant levels should be between the lower and upper level. If
they are low, top o the levels to the MAX/Upper mark before
use.
2. Place the scooter on the center stand with the rear wheel o of
the ground.
3. Insert the key into the ignion switch and turn it to the “ “

4. If starng electrically, pull in the front or rear brake handle.
5. If operang in cold temperatures and especially during the
winter start the engine and allow it to warm up before riding, then
wait for the coolant temperature gauge to read “C” before riding.
Aenon:
Aer your FI scooter has started at low temperatures
wait for at least 2 minutes before exceeding 5,000RPM. This will
reduce the chances of lubricaon drag causing internal engine
damage.

Warning:
Improper starng may pose a safety risk. When
starng the engine if the scooter is not on the center stand
it may rush forward. Before starng the engine, place the
scooter on the center stand and do not drop it from the
center stand unl the engine is on and idling. DO NOT
twist the throle unl the scooter is ready to be ridden
away.
DO NOT start the engine in poorly venlated places as
it poses a carbon monoxide poisoning risk. The engine
should be o when no one is around the scooter.
Scooter Operaon
1. Li the side stand or center stand
Push the scooter forward and the center stand will auto-
macally return to the up posion.
If using the side stand, li the scooter to the vercal po-
sion then push the side stand to the up posion. When

Aer the scooter starts and before riding, the
brakes should be kept applied.
Warning:
Before riding your scooter, check the posion of the side
stand carefully. If the side stand is not returned to the original
posion it may touch the ground when making a le hand turn,
this could cause the scooter to loose tracon/balance which is
dangerous.

The inial mileage of 1,000mi is the break-in period of your
new scooter, please keep the speeds at 38mph or below
and avoid sharp acceleraon. For details please refer to the
table below:
During the break-in period, the gearbox oil should be re-
placed under thermal condion.
7. Use the Front and Rear Brakes when stopping
Please use the front and rear brakes at the same me to
ensure beer braking.

Speed
(MPH) 25 35-40 45-50 55-60
Warning:
Braking distances are proporonal to the speed traveled.
You must esmate the distance between vehicles in front of you
and keep a safe distance to allow enough room for braking. Inex-
perienced riders oen use the rear brake only. Using only the rear
brake can cause the scooter to become unstable when braking
and will accelerate brake wear.
8. Emergency braking and sharp turns NOT recommended
Emergency braking and/or sharp turns are the main reasons for
wheel lock or low side crashes.
9. Take special care when riding on rainy road surfaces
Rainy days produce slippery wet roads, this will increase braking
distances. Reduce your riding speed and keep adequate distance
between yourself and the vehicles in front of you. On downhill
roads, close the throle when operang the brakes and modulate
them to keep your scooter under control.
10. Parking methods
