Tire pressure
᧶
If the pressure is too high, the scooter will tend to rede stiffly
and have poor traction. Conversely, if tire pressure is too low,
stability will be adversely affected. Thereafter, maintain the
correct tire pressure for good roadability and to prolong tire life.
CAUTION
᧶
The standard air pressure of tires is 175/196Kpa, the use of other
than standard may cause handling instability. It is highly
recommended to use a GENERIC genuine tire.
Tire tread condition
᧶
Operating the scooter with the excessively worn tires will decrease
riding stability and consequently invite dangerous situation. It is highly
recommended to replace the tire when the remaining depth of tire tread

Steering
inspect at initially 500km and every service.
Steering should be adjusted properly for smooth turning of handlebars
and safe running. Too stiff steering prevents smooth turning of handlebars
and too loose steering will cause poor stability.
Check that there is no play in the front fork assembly by supporting the
machine so that the front wheel is off the ground, with wheel staight ahead,
grasp lower shock absorber near the axle and pull forward. If play is
found, perform steering bearing adjustment.
