TIRE BREAK-IN & TROUBLESHOOTING
Breaking in the new tires
New tires need proper break-in to assure maximum performance,
just as your scooter's engine does. Wear in the tread surface by
gradually increasing your cornering lean angles over the first 160km
(100 miles) before attempting maximum lean angles. Avoid hard
acceleration, hard cornering, and hard braking for the first 160km
(100 miles).
Troubleshooting
It can be frustrating if your scooter fails to start or stops running
while you are riding. In the rare instance this happens, take a
few moments to check some items and you may be back to
riding your scooter soon.
√ Do you have enough gasoline in the fuel tank?
√ Did you follow the correct procedure for starting the
engine?
√ Is the battery voltage low (you may need to kick start
your scooter)?
√ Is the main fuse in good condition?
NOTE: Use this Owner’s Manual to check components and
adjustments that are within your technical ability. If you
cannot resolve the problem, do not hesitate to contact your
local authorized KYMCO dealer for assistance.
WARNING
Failure to break in your tires could cause the tires to slip and
could result in you losing control of the scooter. Use extra
care when riding on new tires. Perform proper break-in of the
tires as described in this Owner’s Manual and avoid hard
acceleration, hard cornering, and hard braking for the first
160km (100 miles).
