This manual describes the correct usage of this scooter including safety riding, simple inspection methods
and so on.
For a more comfortable and safety riding, please read this manual carefully.
For your benefit, please ask your SYM dealer the operating manual and carefully read the following:
Correct use of the scooter.
Pre-delivery inspection and maintenance.
Thank you very much for your patronage
In order to maximize your scooter’s performance, a periodical inspection and maintenance should be
completely carried out.
We recommend that after riding your new scooter for the first 300 kilometers, you should take your
scooter to the original dealer for an initial inspection, and to have your scooter inspected periodically
every 1000 kilometers thereafter.
In case the scooter’s specifications and construction are modified and different from the photos and
diagrams on the owner’s manual / catalogues, the specifications and construction of the actual scooter
shall prevail.
4. SAFE RIDING
It is very important to be relax and clothe properly when driving, observe traffic regulations, do not rush,
always drive carefully and relaxed.
Usually, most people would ride their newly bought scooter very carefully, but after they became familiar
with their scooters, they tended to become reckless which may result in an accident.
To remind you:
Please wear a safety helmet, and properly tighten the chin belt when riding a scooter.
Clothes with open or loose cuffs may be blown by wind and cause the cuffs to get caught on the
steering handle and thus affects riding safety.
So, put on clothes with tight sleeves.
Hold the steering handle by both hands when riding. Never ride with only one hand.
Observe the speed limit.
Wear suitable low-heel shoes.
Perform periodical maintenance and inspection in accordance with the schedule.
WARNING!!
To avoid getting burned by exhaust pipe when taking a passenger. Make sure your passenger has
put his/her feet on the pedals.
After running, the exhaust pipe is very hot, be careful not to get burned when conducting an
inspection or maintenance.
After running, the exhaust pipe is very hot, select a suitable location to park your scooter to avoid
others getting burned by the exhaust pipe.
CAUTION:
Modified scooter will affect its structure or performance, and cause poor engine operation or exhaust
noise, which will result in shortening the scooter’s service life.
Besides, modification is illegal and does not conform to the original design and specifications.
A modified scooter will not be covered by warranty, therefore, do not modify your scooter at will.
Tire and rim modifications will make it unsafe to ride and may cause severe injury or death.

5. Driving
6. Use Genuine Parts

5. DRIVING
Keep the related parts of your body such as arms, palms, lumbar, and toes relax and ride with the most
comfortable posture in order to be able to react quickly whenever it is necessary.
Rider’s posture will greatly affect riding safety. Always keep your body’s gravity in the center of the
saddle, if your body’s gravity is on the rear part of saddle, the front wheel load will be reduced, and this
will cause the steering handle shaking. It is dangerous to ride a scooter with an unstable handle.
It will be much easier to make a turn if rider inclines his body inward when turning. On the other hand,
the rider will feel unstable if his body and the scooter do not incline.
The scooter is hard to control on a bumpy, unleveled, unpaved road, try to know the road conditions in
advance, slow down and use your shoulder’s force to control the handle.
Suggestion: Do not load objects on the front pedals unnecessarily, to avoid affecting the riding safety
and the operation of steering handle.
CAUTION:
The rider’s feeling on the handle is slightly different with a load or without a load.
Overload may cause the handle to swing and affects the riding safety.
Therefore, do not overload your scooter.
Overloading the scooter will cause the scooter to become unstable and hard to maneuver, it may cause
serious damage to the tires and rims, as well as it may change the center of gravity, which could result
in an accident that could cause injury or death. Do not exceed the maximum authorized load.
CAUTION:
Do not place flammable materials such as rags between the body side cover and engine to avoid
components damaging by fire.
Do not load objects on areas not specified for loading to avoid damage.
SUGGESTION
To maximize the scooter’s performance and prolong its service life:
The first month or first 1000km is the wear- in period for the engine and components.
Avoid rapid acceleration, and keep the speed below 60km/hr.
6. USE GENUINE PARTS
In order to maintain the scooter’s best performance, each part’s quality, material, and machined precision
must conform with the design requirements. “SYM Genuine Parts” were made from the same high quality
materials used for the original scooter. No parts would be sold to the market until they could meet the
designed specifications through sophisticated engineering and stringent quality control. Therefore, it is
necessary to purchase “SYM Genuine Parts” from “SYM Authorized Dealers or Franchised Dealers”
when replacing spare parts. If you buy cheap, or fake substitute parts from the market, no guarantee can be
provided either for the quality or durability. Also, it may result in unexpected troubles and lower the
scooter’s performance.
Always use SYM Genuine Parts to keep your scooters pure blood and to ensure its long service life.

8. Important points and cautions for starting engine
13
Anti-lock brake system
ABS is designed to help prevent the wheel from locking up when hard brakes are applied while running
straight. The ABS automatically regulates brake force. Intermittently gaining gripping force and braking
force helps prevent wheel lock-up and allows stable steering control while stopping.
Although the ABS provides stability while stopping by preventing wheel lock-up, remember the following
characteristics:
ABS cannot compensate for adverse road conditions, misjudgment or improper application of brakes. You
must take the same care as with motorcycles not equipped with ABS.
ABS is not designed to shorten the braking distance. On loose, uneven or downhill surfaces, the stopping
distance of a scooter’s with ABS may be longer than that of an equivalent motorcycle without ABS. Use
special caution in such areas.
ABS will help prevent wheel lock-up during straight-up braking, but it cannot control wheel slip which may
be caused by braking during cornering. When turning at a corner, it is better to limit braking to the light
application of both brakes or not to brake at all.. Reduce your speed before you get into the corner.
The computers integrated in the ABS compare vehicle speed with wheel speed. Since non-recommended
tires can affect wheel speed, they may confuse the computers, which can extend braking distance.
CAUTION:
ABS cannot protect the rider from all possible hazards and is not a substitute for safe riding practices. Be
aware of how the ABS system operates and its limitations. It is the rider’s responsibility to ride at
appropriate speeds and manner for weather, road surface and traffic conditions.
《Engine Brake》
Return the throttle valve handle back to its original position, and apply engine brake.
It is necessary to apply both brake and engine brake intermittently when riding on a long or stiff slope.
Turn ignition switch key to the “ON”position.
1. Apply rear wheel brake.
2. Do not accelerate, press starter button when the brake is applied.
[We care for you! Before drive off, keep the hand brake applied on the rear wheel.]
CAUTION:
If engine cannot be started after starter motor running for 3~5 seconds, in order to avoid damaging the
starter motor, please do not press the starter button continuously over 15 seconds.
If engine still cannot be started after pressing starter button over 15 seconds, stop and wait for 10
seconds before start it again.
It is harder to get the engine started after the scooter has been left idle for a long time or after refueling
only after the fuel has been depleted. Then, it is necessary to press braking lever or starter button
several times, and keep the throttle valve handle at the close position to start the engine.
It may need several minutes to warm up engine if it is a cold start.
Exhaust contains harmful gases (CO), therefore, please start the engine at a well ventilated place.
CAUTION:
Check that the engine and fuel volumes are at adequate levels before starting the engine.
When starting the engine the main stand must be firmly on the ground and the rear brake must be
engaged. This will prevent the scooter from suddenly jerking forward.
