Rider’s posture will greatly affect riding safety. Always keep your body’s gravity in the center of the seat, 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. 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. 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. Always adjust your speed to
the road and traffic condition.


Suggestion: Do not load objects on the front pedals unnecessarily, to avoid affecting the riding safety and
the operation of steering handle.

Be aware of the weight load on the scooter. The scooter will handle different depending on its load.
Over loading the scooter will cause the scooter to become unstable and hard to maneuver, 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.
WARNING:
Only carry cargo or luggage in/on places that are specifically designed for carrying cargo or luggage.
Do not place flammable objects, such as rags, paper, plastic, etc. or other objects between body covers
and the engine. Placing objects in these areas could cause a fire or other damage to the scooter, and
serious injury as a result there from.
Suggestion:
To maximize the scooter’s performance and prolong its 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 SPARE 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 Spare 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 Spare 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 thereof. Also, it may result in
unexpected troubles and lower the scooter's performance.

INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT OF BRAKE FREE PLAY
INSPECTION: (Brake lever free play must be checked with the engine shut off.)
Brake lever free play for front and rear wheels.
When checking the hand-braking lever for front and rear wheels, its free play (the stroke of hand-braking
lever from no braking to initial braking) should be 10~20mm.
It is abnormal if the feel is spongy when holding the hand-braking lever forcefully.
Never attempt to adjust brakes unless you know what you are doing. Otherwise, have a properly trained
mechanic adjust brakes. Never operate the scooter if effective braking is questionable.
10~20 mm

THROTTLE VALVE HANDLE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
Correct clearance allows throttle vale handle to rotate 2~6mm.
To adjust, first loosen the fixing nut, then turn the adjusting nut
to the proper position and securely tighten the fixing nut.
Throttle Valve Check Items:
Check throttle valve cable to see if it can be moved smoothly
from a closed position to a wide open position.
Rotate steering handle from side to side to check that the
throttle cable is not interfered with.
Check to see if the throttle cable is obstructed by any other
cables preventing it from being operated smoothly.
TIRE INSPECTION
Tires should be checked and inflated with the engine shut off.
If a tire’s ground contacting curve is abnormal, check it with an air pressure gauge and inflate it to the
specified pressure to meet applicable standard before riding.
Tires pressure must be checked when the tire is cool.
Visual check tires for frontal and lateral side walls for
crack or damage.
Visual check tires for any nails or small stones wedged
in the tread.
Check the “tread wear indicator” condition to see if tread
groove depth is insufficient.
A tire with a wear bar showing is worn out and should be
replaced immediately.
WARNING:
Inspect the scooter’s tires regularly. Over inflated, under inflated, old, worn or cracked tires can
adversely affect the way the scooter handles and could lead to sudden tire failure. S
udden tire failure
could cause you to lose control of the scooter which could cause an accident and could lead to injury
or death.
 Only ride the scooter with properly inflated tires. Always replace old, worn or cracked tires.
