should utilize the
floorboard and
footrests for
your feet. Do not exceed
the load limits of the
vehicle. Properly secure all
cargo.
Maintain Your Vehicle
Perform maintenance as required per the maintenance
schedule or as otherwise necessary to keep your scooter
in a safe operating condition. If you notice any leaks or
notice odd sensations such as vibration, immediately stop
your vehicle.
Pre-Ride Inspection
Always perform a pre-ride inspection of your scooter prior
to each ride. Review the pre-ride inspection instruction
section contained within this manual for more information.
Carbon Monoxide Gas
The exhaust gasses from this vehicle contain carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odorless, and highly toxic gas.
An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fill up with
carbon monoxide gas. Do not run the engine in enclosed
areas that are poorly ventilated. Move the vehicle outdoors
before operation.
WARNING
WARNING: Not performing a pre-ride inspection, altering
your vehicle from the stock configuration, or failure to
properly maintain your vehicle can result in serious injury or
death. Check your vehicle regularly and have any problems
corrected as soon as possible.
WARNING
WARNING: Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing
carbon monoxide can cause unconsciousness and even kill
you. Avoid running your engine within enclosed areas and
other activities that expose you to carbon monoxide.

Safe Riding
6
WARNING: Not wearing safety apparel increases the
chance of serious injury or death in a crash. Be sure you and
any passengers always wear helmets and protective gear
properly.
Your scooter can provide many years of riding enjoyment.
You must take responsibility for your own safety and the
safety of others. There are many steps you can take to
protect yourself and others while riding. Here are some very
important safety precautions:
Wear a Helmet
Rider safety begins with quality head protection. A head
injury is one of the most serious injuries that can occur.
Always wear a quality DOT approved helmet that is
properly buckled. If the helmet does not have a face shield,
wear suitable eye protection.
Wear Riding Apparel
Choose quality gloves, boots, pants, jackets and other riding
apparel specifically designed with protective features. Loose
clothing can be unsafe when riding your scooter.
Make Yourself Visible
Wear bright, reflective apparel to make yourself more
visible to fellow drivers. Position yourself on the road where
other drivers can easily see you. Use your turn signals,
hand signs, horn and other methods to help others locate
you and understand your driving actions.
WARNING
Know Your Limits
Ride within the boundaries of your own skill at all times. Do
not ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Strictly
observe all traffic regulations. Always adapt your riding to
account for traffic and road conditions.
Road Conditions
Road conditions can vary greatly with weather, foreign
material, elevation etc. Your riding stability and braking power
are limited by the grip of the tires on the road surface.
When encountering slippery road surfaces, braking distance
will increase significantly, and riding stability will be reduced.
Reduce vehicle speed and perform all actions in a gradual
and deliberate manner to prevent accidents.
Use extreme caution on painted surfaces or metal objects
such as manhole covers or train rails when they are wet.

Identification Numbers

Bag Hook
A bag hook is located on the inner front side of the
leg shield. Ensure all bags and other cargo are
properly secured to prevent spillage and
subsequently a potential hazard for other
motorists.

the fuel cap. Return the seat to rest on the body panel
and press down firmly on the rear of the seat to
securely close it. There are several suction cups
underneath the seat to keep it locked.

Vehicle Layout

Side Stand and Center Stand
The side stand is
located near the
undercarriage. It is
important that the
stand is resting on firm
ground to prevent the
vehicle from toppling
over. The scooter is
equipped with a side
stand switch which will prevent the engine from starting
if the side stand is engaged.
The center stand is
located behind the
side stand. It is best
practice to use the
center stand when
parking the bike. To
engage the center
stand, the user must
put full body weight
on the foot anchor and simultaneously pull the bike to
the rear.
Glovebox Storage
The glovebox is located
under the ignition switch
and the bag hook. Use
the ignition key to open
the glovebox by inserting
key into the glovebox lock
cylinder and turning to the

After the glovebox is open, remove the key from the
glovebox lock cylinder.
To close the glovebox,
remove the key and press
firmly in the center of the
glovebox lock cylinder
with your thumb. The
glovebox will latch closed.

to the upright position.
Insert the key to unlock and turn counterclockwise to
open the fuel cap.
Fill with unleaded fuel 91 octane or higher.
Take special care not to overfill fuel tank.
USB Charging
Your scooter is equipped with a USB Charging Port
located in the glovebox compartment. Remove
protective cover to expose USB charging port.
This port is designed to charge small consumer
electronics such as a cellular phone.
After use, cover the charging port with the protective
rubber cover to prevent moisture and debris from
entering the charging port.

Vehicle Layout
17
Coolant Tank Cap
The coolant tank cap is located on the left side of the
vehicle behind the side body panel. Never open the
coolant tank cap when the scooter is hot because this
might cause boiling coolant to surge out of the tank. Hot
coolant will cause injuries and burns, and it is very
important to only open the coolant tank cap when the
scooter is cool.
Rear Rack
The rear rack is located on the rear portion of the main
body behind the seat. The rear rack can be used as a
handle when propping the scooter onto the center stand.
It can also be used to carry items with a maximum load
of 11 lbs.

Pre-Ride Inspection

Perform a pre-ride inspection prior to every ride.
This isa checklist. Detailed procedures are in the pages that follow.
ITEM
PROCEDURE
FRONT BRAKE
Check the brake function, clearance, brake-fluid level, inspect for fluid leaks, if necessary, add
DOT 4 or higher brake fluid. Check brake lever free-play and adjust if necessary. Check brake
pad wear. If the brake pads are worn down past the wear marks, replace pads immediately.
REAR BRAKE
Check the brake function, lever free-play and clearance. If the brake lever pressure is low,
check for worn brake pads or fluid leak. Repair immediately.
THROTTLE
Check to make sure the throttle actuates freely through the range. Lubricate throttle cable if
necessary. Check throttle free-play. Adjust throttle cable tension if necessary.
LUBRICANTS
Check the engine oil level before each ride. If the engine oil level is low, refill with
JASO MA-2 5W-40 engine oil
TIRES
Check tire pressure in both the front and rear tire, add air if necessary. Inspect tires.
CABLES
Check operation of all cables. Lubricate cables and adjust tension as necessary.
CENTER / SIDE STAND
Check center and side stands for operation, lubrication and secure mounting.
ASSEMBLY
Check all vehicle assembly to ensure fasteners are secure and assemblies function properly.
FUEL SYSTEM
Check fuel level. Fill if necessary. Ensure no fuel leaks are present.
LIGHTING
Check the function of all lights. Clean lenses as necessary.
SWITCHES
Check the function of all switches.
LOADING
Ensure your vehicle is not overloaded, is loaded in a balanced manner, and cargo is secured.

Pre-Ride Inspection
19
Perform a pre-ride inspection prior to every ride.
Front Brake
The front brake is a hydraulic disk type. Inspect the brake
system prior to each ride.
Properly functioning brake systems are vitally important to
your personal safety.
Check for fluid leaks, fluid level, brake pad wear, and rotor
condition. Also check lever free-play frequently.
Pull the brake lever lightly until you feel tension, then check
the lever free-play.
10 – 20mm
Front Brake lever free-play: 10 - 20mm
If the brake lever has no free-play or is too loose, there is a
potential brake system fault. Inspect brake system
thoroughly.
Front Brake Fluid
Check all joints along the brake hose for any fluid leaking
from the joint or the brake cylinder. Leakage has occurred
if you see wet or oxidized fluid sludge.
Check brake fluid level
sight glass at base of
lever to determine brake
fluid level. Fluid should
be above the bottom half
of the sight glass.
