3. BEFORE RIDING
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 motorcycle.
Pre-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 1,000 kilometers there after.
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 motorcycle.
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 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
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
seat, if your body’s gravity is on the rear part of seat, 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.
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 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 speed below 80km/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.
Also, it may result in unexpected troubles and lower the scooter’s performance.
Always use SYM Genuine Spare Parts to keep your scooters pure blood and to ensure its long
service life.

WARNING:
Oil level will not be correct when checking the oil level
with the motorcycle parked on an unleveled ground or
immediately after the engine stopped.
Engine and exhaust pipe are hot right after engine
stopped. Pay special attention not to get burned when
checking or replacing engine oil.
If the oil lever approach lower limit again after refilled,
check the engine for leaks and refill it again.
Keep away from spark and flames when refilling the oil.
Avoid oil emulsification
Warming up at regular intervals.
Warm car runs in a minute every time.
At least run 10 km once a month.
Replace oil when 3 months or 2000km.
§FUEL INSPECTION §
Turn main switch key to “ON” position, and check fuel gauge’s needle range to make sure there is
enough amount of fuel in the fuel tank.
This scooter’s engine is designed for using the unleaded fuel of Gasoline 95 or Gasohol 91, 95 (E10).
Firmly secure the main stand on the ground, shut off the engine and keep flames away from the
scooter when refueling.
Do not fill above fuel upper limit lever when refueling.
Make sure the fuel tank cap had been tighten properly.
§TRANSMISSION OIL INSPECTION AND CHANGE §
INSPECTION:
Use the main stand to support the scooter on a level ground, after the engine stops, wait for 3 ~ 5
minutes. Remove the transmission oil infusion bolt, put a measuring glass under the drain bolt, and
remove the drain bolt. Let the oil flows into measuring glass and check for decreased or not (at
disassembly:180c.c./ at change: 170c.c).
OIL REPLACEMENT:
Stop the engine and use the main stand to support your scooter on a lever ground. Remove the
infusion bolt and drain bolt, drain out the oil.

§BRAKE SYSTEM INSPECTION §
This scooter is equipped with a disk brake system on the front wheel and the rear wheel. If there is
something wrong when applying the brakes, have the brake system checked by an authorized SYM
dealer.
Inspection of Brake Free Play: (Brake lever free play must checked with the engine shut off.)
Brake lever free play for front and rear wheels.
◆If checking the hand-braking lever for front wheels and rear wheel, 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.
Front / Rear Brake Fluid Level Inspection:
With the scooter in an upright position, check the
fluid level. It should be above the LOWER level
mark. If the level is at or below the LOWER level
mark, check the brake pads for wear.
Worn pads should be replaced. If the pads are not
worn, have your brake system inspected for leaks.
If the brake fluid level is below the lower level,
contact your SYM authorized dealer to adjust the
fluid level.
Recommended Brake Fluid:
WELL RUN BRAKE OIL (DOT 3 or DOT 4).
CAUTION:
Brake fluid may harm painted surfaces and plastic parts. Spilled fluid must be cleaned up
immediately.
Refill with the same type of brake fluid.
WARNING:
Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
Brake fluid is easy to absorb moisture from the air, any absorbed moisture will reduce the braking
efficiency greatly.
Never let water or dirt enter the reservoirs when refilling.
Contact an authorized SYM dealer immediately if any brake fluid leakage is found.
