IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your scooter can provide you many years of service and plea-
sure if you take responsibility for your own safety and under-
stand the challenges that you can meet on the road. There is
much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You
will find many helpful recommendations throughout this
manual. Here are some very important safety tips:
Wear a helmet
Scooter safety equipment starts with a quality helmet. One of
the most serious injuries you can suffer in a crash is a head
injury. Always wear a properly approved helmet. You should
also wear suitable eye protection.
Make yourself easy to see
To make yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing,
position yourself so other drivers can see you, signal before
turning or changing lanes, and use your horn when it will help
others notice you.
Know your limits
Ridewithintheboundariesofyour ownskillat alltimes.Know-
ing these limits and staying within them will help you to avoid
accidents. Always ride with both hands on the handlebars.
SCOOTER SAFETY
Keep your scooter in safe condition
For safe riding, it is important to inspect your scooter before
every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never
exceed load limits, and only use accessories that have been
approved by KYMCO for this scooter.
Inspect your scooter before riding
Remember to perform an entire safety inspection to ensure
you, and your passenger's safety, before each ride.
Be extra cautious on bad weather days
Riding on bad weather days, especially wet ones, requires ex-
tra caution. Braking distances can double on a rainy day. Stay
off of the painted surfaces, manhole covers and greasy ap-
pearing areas on the pavement, as they can be especially slip-
pery. Use extreme caution at railway crossings and on metal
gratings and bridges. Whenever you are in doubt about the
road conditions, slow down.
Modification
Modification of your scooter, or removal of original equipment
may render the vehicle unsafe or illegal. Obey all applicable
equipment regulations in your area.

Break-in recommendations
The first 600 miles (1,000 km) of riding are the most important
in the life of your scooter. Proper break-in operation during
this time will help ensure maximum life and performance from
your new scooter. Proper break-in operation allows the ma-
chined surfaces to polish each other and mate smoothly.
Your scooter’s reliability and performance depend on special
care and restraint exercised during the break-in period. It is
especially important that you avoid operating the engine in a
mannerwhichcouldexposetheenginepartstoexcessiveheat.
The following guidelines should be followed during the break-
in period:
Maximum throttle operation:
Initial 300 miles (600 km): ...............Less than 1/2 throttle
Up to 600 miles (1,000 km): ............Less than 3/4 throttle
Vary the engine speed:
The engine speed should be varied and not held at a constant
ratefor longperiodsoftime.Thisallowsthepartstobe"loaded"
with pressure, and then unloaded, allowing the parts to cool.
This aids in the mating process of the engine and transmis-
sion components. It is essential that some stress be placed
on these components during break-in to ensure this mating
process.Donot,however,applyexcessiveloadonthescooter's
drive line.
Avoid constant low speed:
Operating the engine at constant low speed (light load) can
cause parts to glaze and not seat in properly.Allow the engine
to accelerate freely through the gears, without exceeding the
recommended throttle openings.
Avoid using full throttle for the first 300 miles (500 km).
The initial service:
Observe your first and most critical service. The 200 mile (300
km) initial service is the most important service your scooter
will receive. During the break-in period all of the engine com-
ponents will have worn in and all of the other parts will have
seated in, so adjustments will be required.All fasteners will be
tightened, and the contaminated engine oil will be replaced.
NOTE: Completion of the 200 mile (300 km) initial service
will ensure optimum service life and performance from
yourscooter.Donotdelayinhavingthisserviceperformed
once your scooter reaches this mileage.
SECTION 3 -

Breaking in the new tires
New tires need proper break-in to assure maximum per-
formance, just as your scooter's engine does. Wear in the
tread surface by gradually increasing your cornering lean
angles over the first 100 miles (160 km) before attempting
maximum lean angles. Avoid hard acceleration, hard cor-
nering, and hard braking for the first 100 miles (160 km).
The 200 mile (300 km) service should be performed as
outlined in the maintenance schedule section of this
owner'smanual.Payparticularattentiontothecautions
and warnings in the maintenance schedule section.
Unless you have formal training as a service techni-
cian and have access to KYMCO technical reference
materials, it is strongly suggested that you have the
initial service performed by a KYMCO dealer.
Failure to break in your tires could cause the tires to
slipand couldresultin youlosing controlof thescooter.
Use extra care when riding on new tires. Perform proper
break-inofthe tires asdescribed in thisOwner’s Manual
and avoid hard acceleration, hard cornering, and hard
braking for the first 100 miles (160 km).
OPERATION Troubleshooting
It can be fustrating if your scooter fails to start or stops run-
ning while your are riding. In the rare instance this hap-
pens, take a few moments to check some items and you
may be back to riding your scooter soon.

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.
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.
7. Lights and horn: Check that headlight, tail/brake light, turn
signals, indicators and horn function properly (page 22).
8. Chassis: Check for overall proper function (page 23).
1. Engineoillevel:Addengineoilif required(page17).Check
for leaks.
2. Front and rear brakes: Check operation, make sure there

3. Tires: Check condition and inflation (pages 18 & 19).
4. Fuel level: Fill fuel tank when necessary (page 19). Check
for leaks.
6. Steering: Check for smooth operation in all steering posi-
tions (page 20).

ule recommendations on pages 31 - 48 of this manual.
After one month of use or 200 miles (300 km) of riding,
which ever occurs first, contact your KYMCO dealer to
have an initial service of your scooter performed.
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
1. Unscrew the dip stick 1, remove it and wipe it with a clean
cloth
2. Re-insert the dip stick, slide it down until the threaded part
touches the engine case, but do not thread it into the case.
3. Remove the dip stick and visually note the oil level on the
stick. The engine oil level should be above the "L" mark but
not higher than the "F" mark.Add or remove oil as required.
Do not overfill the engine with oil. Overfilling the en-
gine can cause oil leaks and/or oil contamination of
the air filter element. Always make sure the oil level is
above the "L" mark but not higher than the "F" mark.
PRI - Engine oil level inspection
NOTE: Parkyourscooter onthemainstand,onlevelground.
Use extreme caution when performing the oil level in-
spection or any other checks if the scooter’s engine
has been recently run. The engine oil, engine case and
muffler can become very hot creating a burn hazard.
PRI - Brake inspection
1. Measure the free-play and the brake lever end (0.4 - 0.6 in
(10 - 20 mm).
2. Use the cable adjuster on each brake lever perch for minor
free play adjustment. For major adjustment, see the main-
tenance section of this Owner’s Manual.
0.4 - 0.6 in (10 - 20 mm)
Your scooter requires the proper brake lever free-play so
the brakes will be responsive and will not drag, causing pre-
mature wear to the brake pads.
The free-play is the measured distance between the brake
lever at rest and a fully applied brake.

PRI - Tire inspection
The condition of your scooter’s tires is vital for operational ef-
ficiency and your safety. Check the tires’ inflation pressure,
the tread depth, and look for damage before each ride.
OPERATION
1. Measure and adjust the tire pressure when the tires are
touching the ground (with no one seated on the scooter).
NOTE: Measure the pressure before riding, as the heat
