3.BEFORE RIDING
This manual describes the correct usage of this motorcycle 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:
yCorrect use of the motorcycle.
yPre-delivery inspection and maintenance.
Thank you very much for your patronage
In order to maximize your motorcycle’s performance, a periodical inspection and maintenance
should be completely carried out.
We recommend that after riding your new motorcycle for the first 300 kilometers, you should take
your motorcycle to the original dealer for an initial inspection, and to have your motorcycle inspected
periodically every 1000 kilometers thereafter.
yIn case the motorcycle’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
motorcycle shall prevail.
4. SAFE RIDING
It is very important to be relaxed and clothe properly when driving, observe traffic regulations, do not rush,
always drive carefully and relaxed.
Usually, most people would ride their newly bought motorcycle very carefully, but after they became familiar
with their motorcycles, they tended to become reckless which may result in an accident.
To remind you:
yPlease wear a safety helmet, and properly tighten the chin belt when riding a motorcycle.
yClothes 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.
ySo, put on clothes with tight sleeves.
yHold the steering handle by both hands when riding. Never ride with only one hand.
yObserve the speed limit.
yWear suitable low-heel shoes.
yPerform periodical maintenance and inspection in accordance with the schedule.
WARNING!!
yTo avoid getting burned by exhaust pipe when taking a passenger. Make sure your passenger has
put his/her feet on the pedals.
yAfter running, the exhaust pipe is very hot, be careful not to get burned when conducting an
inspection or maintenance.
yAfter running, the exhaust pipe is very hot, select a suitable location to park your motorcycle to avoid
others getting burned by the exhaust pipe.
CAUTION:
Modified motorcycle will affect its structure or performance, and cause poor engine operation or
exhaust noise, which will result in shortening the motorcycle’s service life.
Besides, modification is illegal and does not conform to the original design and specifications.
A modified motorcycle will not be covered by warranty; therefore, do not modify your motorcycle at
will.

5.DRIVING
yKeep 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.
yRider’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 motorcycle with an unstable
handle.
yIt 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 motorcycle do not incline.
yThe motorcycle 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.
ySuggestion: 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 motorcycle.
CAUTION:
yPlease do not load cargo or luggage on places where are not designed for loading to prevent
danger and damage.
yDo not place rags or similar objects between the storage compartment and engine to avoid
engine seizure because of inadequate engine oil supply.
SUGGESTION
To maximize the motorcycle’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 scooter at low speed.
6. USE GENUINE SPARE PARTS
In order to maintain the motorcycle’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 motorcycle. 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” 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 motorcycle’s performance.
yAlways use SYM Genuine Spare Parts to keep your motorcycles pure blood and to ensure its long
service life.

Turn off ignition switch, and check fuses if they are intact. Replace the blown fuse with a new one having the
same specified amperage rating (10A &7A). Using a fuse of more than 10 or 7 amperes, a brass or iron wire
to replace a blown fuse is strictly prohibited to avoid damaging the electrical system and the circuit.
yRemove the storage box, and you’ll find the fuse holder near battery.
yOpen the fuse box cover, and pull out the fuse. Check it for damage or broken.
yFuses must be firmly secured with wire connectors when replacing. Loose connections will result in
overhead and damage.
yUse only parts having the specified specification to replace electrical components such as light bulbs.
Using parts not having the specified specifications for replacement may cause the fuse to blow and
over-discharge the battery.
yAvoid spraying water directly on or around fuse box when washing the motorcycle.

Check if the brake lights come on.
yCheck the brake light cover if it is dirty, crack, or loosen.
CAUTION:
yUse only specified specification bulbs, do not use bulbs with different specifications to avoid
damaging electrical system, burning out bulbs, and discharging the battery.
yDo not modify or add other electrical components to prevent over load or short circuit which may
result in a fire and burn down the motorcycle in serious cases.

yCheckthebody’spivotpointsiftheyhaveenoughlubrication.
(for example, the pivot points on the main stand, the side stand, and the brake lever…etc.).
§CHECKING THE SPARK PLUG§
yRemove the cap of spark plug cable (remove the spark plug using
the spark plug wrench in the tool kit.
yCheck the electrode if it is dirty or fouled by carbon deposits.
yRemove the carbon deposits on the electrode with steel wire, and
clean the spark plug with gasoline, then, wipe dry with a rag.
yCheck the electrode, and adjust its gap to 0.6~0.7 mm. (Check it
with a feeler gauge)
yHand tight the spark plug as far as it can go and then tighten it
another 1/2~3/4 turns with a wrench.
WARNING:
The engine is very hot after running. Pay attention not to get burned.
