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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
For your benefit, please ask your SANYANG dealer the operating manual and carefully read the
following:
Correct use of the motorcycle.
Pre-delivery inspection and maintenance.
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 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.
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.
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 60km/hr.

the specified pressure.
Tires pressure must be checked with an air pressure gauge when cold.
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.
§STEERING HANDLE FRONT SHOCK ABSORBERS INSPECTION §
Perform this check with engine shut off and ignition switch key
